Development Department. The City may require that environmentally sensitive areas be placed in separate <br /> tracts and designated as sensitive habitat with listed restrictions on the approval/final plans. (Chapter 37 of <br /> the Zoning Code and SEPA Water,Plant and Animal, and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> 4.3.2 Mitigating Impacts of Development on Vegetation and Wildlife <br /> 1. All plantings in environmentally sensitive areas and their buffers and in transition areas in SW Everett shall be <br /> native species and hybrid natives, including landscaping required by Chapter 35 of the Zoning Code(perimeter <br /> landscaping, landscaping of the parking lot, and interior landscaping). The City has a goal that 75%of new <br /> landscaping in the Subarea be native, hybrid natives, or drought-tolerant. Landscape plans should show an <br /> attempt to reach this goal unless landscaping with these species will not meet the objective of the proposal <br /> (e.g.,golf driving range,ball fields, etc.). <br /> 4.3.3 Mitigating Impacts on Streams,Fish,and Fish Habitat <br /> 1. Areas with soils suitable for large scale infiltration should be protected. Due to the construction of new <br /> impervious surfaces,stormwater volumes will increase significantly. Base flow reductions can only be <br /> mitigated by the use of infiltration systems for collected stormwater. infiltration systems will be required <br /> whenever feasible, as determined by the Public Works Department,particularly for rooftop runoff. This study <br /> area,however, has few areas of soils suitable for large scale infiltration.The Associated Sand and Gravel <br /> property located south of Sievers-Duecy Blvd.is one area where stormwater is currently being infiltrated. <br /> Infiltration must continue to occur on that site. (SEPA Water, Plant and Animal,and Land and Shoreline Use <br /> Policies) <br /> 4.3.5 Mitigating Impacts of Development on Water quality and Groundwater <br /> 1. Developments with hazardous materials on-site,including fuel tanks,must comply with all applicable local, <br /> state and federal requirements.All developments using toxic or hazardous materials must incorporate <br /> facilities and procedures for the safe handling and effective monitoring of toxic or hazardous materials,which <br /> include spill entrapment,training,and special handling,thus reducing the potential for release of hazardous or <br /> toxic materials to the groundwater system. (See Section 3.6 of the EIS) (SEPA Water,Plant and Animal,and <br /> Land and Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> Z. Staging areas for vehicle maintenance activities during construction must be specified. These areas must be <br /> well away from all drainage courses. (SEPA Water, Plant and Animal and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> 3. Application of fungicides, herbicides,insecticides, and fertilizers is prohibited on all sites from January through <br /> April when soils are frequently saturated and storm events generate substantial runoff.(SEPA Water, Plant <br /> and Animal and Land and Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> 4. All storm drains must be stenciled with language similar to the following: "Dump No Waste,Drains to <br /> (Stream/Wetland/Groundwater)." This reminder is typically spray-painted on to the ground adjacent to the <br /> catch basin with the use of a stencil. The treatment needs to be repeated, approximately annually,when the <br /> paint wears off. The developer/owner may either perform the stenciling,or give permission for volunteer <br /> groups to enter onto the property and perform the stenciling.(SEPA Water, Plant and Animal,and Land and <br /> Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> 6 <br />
