5. Rockeries and retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height and 40 feet in length that are visible from adjacent properties or public right of way shall be substantially screened with landscaping or architecturally designed and landscaped to break up the appearance of length/height in a manner approved by the Planning Director. Rockeries and retaining walls within required landscape areas shall not be counted in the required landscaping width. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) 6. Historic and Cultural Preservation. If any archaeological resources or human remains are found during construction, the project proponent shall contact the Tulalip Tribes, the City of Everett Planning and Community Development Department, and the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. This contact will initiate a consultation process for determining subsequent actions. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use Policies) Section 2: TRANSPORTATION 2.1 Threshold Any development that exceeds 30 peak hour trips per net developable acre must complete additional traffic analysis. (This is 2 times the average PM peak hour trips per acre projected.) Net developable acres is the area of the site minus environmentally sensitive areas. The EIS identifies 5 screenlines around the Subarea. Screenlines are lines drawn across several routes to measure the flow of trips crossing the line. The City shall monitor traffic at the 5 screenlines annually. If traffic at two or more screenlines exceeds capacity, the City shall halt the expedited permit process until additional traffic analysis is completed and the Subarea Plan or traffic mitigation program is confirmed or modified by City Council. (Note that capacity exceedances at screenlines may be due to unforeseen impacts generated outside the Subarea, and the review process for development proposals outside the Subarea may also be affected.) State and Federal ambient air quality standards must be met. Additional SEPA analysis will be required for construction of new transportation facilities and those that add new lanes, unless otherwise exempted from SEPA review. Frontage improvements may require additional SEPA analysis. System improvements other than planned system improvements may be substituted when environmental or financial restrictions are determined to make the planned improvements infeasible, and the substituted improvements are included in the City's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Proposed facilities may be conditioned, modified, or even rejected in the review process. 10
