Provide landscaping as shown on the approved landscape plan dated March 23, 2017. All landscape areas must be maintained with respect to creating a healthy growing condition and attractive appearance as well as being free of weeds and trash as specified in the Everett Municipal Code 19.35.130. 2. At the time of planting, shrubs must be at least two -gallon size and a minimum of 24 inches in height, deciduous trees must have a minimum trunk diameter of 3inches, evergreen trees must be at least eight (8) feet high, and groundcover must be planted 18 inches on center. The Planning Director approved the landscape modifications based on the following: Subsection 35.070.A(5) of the City of Everett Zoning Code gives the Planning Director, using Review Process I, the authority to modify the required landscaping if the applicant proposes an alternative method of landscaping that would achieve the intent and purpose of the landscaping required and which the Planning Director determines to provide superior quality. Approved landscape modifications are shown on the landscape plan dated March 23, 2017 and include the following: Landscape Modification No. 1—West Property Line Perimeter Landscaping. A reduction of the required 5 feet landscaping strip along the west property line to zero feet. Due to the existing width of the drive aisle, location of the existing building, the increase in perimeter landscaping width along the north property line, and using plants that exceed the minimum height and trunk caliper as well as exceeding the density standards,the Director has approved an exemption to the required 5 foot wide landscape strip along the west property line. Landscape Modification No. 2 —South Property Line Frontage Landscaping. Relocate the required 10 feet of landscaping along the south property line to the right-of-way behind the sidewalk. To make accommodations for a proposed parking lot between SE Everett Mall Way and the existing building,10 feet of frontage landscaping will be installed behind the sidewalk. Plants will exceed minimum height as well as minimum density standards to mitigate for the modification request. The Director finds the design to meet the intent and purpose of the landscaping code.
