It will need to meet the design criteria for duplex standards,so Doug,please review EMC 19.7.010 and submit elevations and plans that the Planning Department can review. Any deviation from the standards will require Planning Director approval. The code can be assessed online here:http.//www.ci.everett.wa.us/default.aspx?I_D=.39.g. Chun-sheng, in 1993,the property underwent a reasonable use process to allow a single family dwelling unit on a lot entirely within a critical area— East Fork Pigeon Creek 2 and associated wetlands/slopes. As part of the approval,a condition was that a restoration plan would be submitted and executed with a monitoring plan and posted bond. A plan was submitted and is on file. Unfortunately it appears it was never actualized nor monitored,and from my site visit it appears the areas in question are covered in invasive non-native species along with some discarded trash. As part of the approval process for the duplex,a habitat assessment done by a qualified professional will be required to address the site. The restoration plan on file is the minimum required,if acceptable according to the professional. Since development and lack of monitoring,the site may need a more vigorous restoration plan which the professional can do and submit to the Planning Department for review. A monitoring plan will also be required along with a posted bond sufficient to cover the restoration and enhancement plantings. All Himalayan Blackberry and other non-native species shall be removed along with all trash. An ESA split rail fence will also be required to be installed at a 5'distance around the north and west sides of the structure as originally approved for. I've attached PDF's of the original restoration plan along with the requirements for the habitat assessment. If you have any questions,don't hesitate to contact me. Niels Tygesen Wim .
