( 000/1 PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL SMA 11--88 PORT OF EVERETT JETTY ISLAND FILL March 8, 1989 WHEREAS, there was submitted to the City of Everett as follows: Applicant: Port of Everett P.O. Box 538 Everett, WA 98206 Relationship to Property: Owner Representative: Dennis Gregoire Requested action: Shoreline Substantial Development Conditional Use Permit Project Coordinator/ Gerry Ervine Everett Planning Department Phone: 259-8731 Location: West side of Jetty Island Parcel Sizes 19 acres low salt marsh 6 acres high salt marsh 17 acres upland 67 acres new intertidal west side of berm 109 Acres Total Project: The project proposed by the Corps of Engineers and the Port of Everett involves placement of dredged material in a manner that will be beneficial to the Port Gardner ecosystem. Approximately 300,000 cubic yards of hydraulically dredged sands from the Snohomish River channel would be used to construct a sand berm along the west side of Jetty Island (Figure 2). Dredging and placement on Jetty Island would occur during the time period of mid—September through 15 March 1990. The berm would be up to 2,500 feet long and open to tidal flow at the north end. Top elevation of the berm would be +15 feet MLLW with the toe elevation varying between +6 feet MLLW at the south end to +1 foot MLLW at the north end. The majority of the berm toe would be above +2 feet MLLW. The berm top would be 50 feet wide in most places, but would widen to 500 feet at the south end where it would connect to Jetty Island, to help compensate for erosion. The berm side slope would be constructed at approximately 1 V on 25 H on both sides. The area inside the berm will be planted with native beach grassland species currently on the island; within the protected area between the island and the berm, a salt marsh habitat would be established. Potential benefits from the project include: 0i0035
