The project proposal is to plat two undeveloped parcels totaling 38.63 acres into 31 single-family lots. The Wetland and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment Report and Conceptual Mitigation Plan identified four onsite wetlands, and one offsite wetland. The wetlands, associated buffers, floodplain, as well as the project site’s topography, severely restrict the developable area.
The applicant is requesting alternatives to design review standards 17.99.200 and 17.99.240C. to accommodate the proposed plat and subsequent single-family development:
1. Approval of a cut and fill quantity of up to 60,000 cubic yards; and
2. A reduction of the standard transition buffer along the eastern boundary of the site to from 40 feet to 25 feet
