2.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> 1. Rockeries and retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height and 40 feet in length that are visible from adjacent <br /> properties or public right of way shall be substantially screened with landscaping or architecturally designed and <br /> landscaped to break up the appearance of length/height in a manner approved by the Planning Director. <br /> Rockeries and retaining walls within required landscape areas shall not be counted in the required landscaping <br /> width. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> Section 2: TRANSPORTATION <br /> 2.1 Threshold <br /> Any development that exceeds 30 peak hour trips per net developable acre must complete additional traffic <br /> analysis. (This is 2 times the average PM peak hour trips per acre projected.) Net developable acres is the area of <br /> the site minus environmentally sensitive areas. <br /> 2.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> 1. All development must pay a fee of$1,006.00 per PM peak hour trip to fund system-wide transportation <br /> improvements. The traffic mitigation fee has been calculated at$151,000.00 for each of the 200,000 square <br /> foot manufacturing buildings and is due at the time of building permit issuance. No fee is due as part of the <br /> binding site plan. <br /> 2. Transit routes/schedules and high occupancy vehicle information must be prominently displayed for <br /> employees at on-site commute information centers and near associated walkways. Preferential parking space <br /> locations for carpools and vanpools must be provided on all sites. Buildings must incorporate bicycle and <br /> pedestrian amenities such as lockers,shower rooms, and bicycle stands. (SEPA Transportation and Land and <br /> Shoreline Use Policies) <br /> Section 3: EARTH/GEOLOGICALLY HAZARDOUS AREAS <br /> 3.1.Threshold <br /> All slopes that are not designated environmentally sensitive may be modified. Major cuts and fills will likely occur <br /> to make sites suitable for development. <br /> Sites that are designated environmentally sensitive may be modified only in compliance with environmentally <br /> sensitive areas regulations. Disturbance of environmentally sensitive areas to construct necessary utilities will be <br /> limited to the minimum necessary for construction. <br /> Sites designated as geologically hazardous areas may be modified if approved by the Planning Director based upon <br /> review of a geotechnical report that shows the proposal meets the criteria of Section 37 of the Zoning Code. The <br /> report must show that the modifications will not create a hazard to the subject property or surrounding <br /> properties. <br /> The EIS does not evaluate the impacts of earth removed from the Subarea and placed on sites outside of the <br /> Subarea. Additional SEPA analysis will be required for placement of fill outside the Subarea. <br /> The Subarea Plan and EIS do not evaluate the impacts of new mining activity. Additional SEFA review will be <br /> required for new mining activities. <br /> 4 <br />
