Subject: COMPLETE APPLICATION, CLARIFICATION REQUESTED — MIONE 2-LOT SHORT
PLAT AT 19011 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE (PLN20140075)
Dear Ms. Mione:
Thank you for submitting the required documentation and application fees for the above -
referenced permit; your application is complete according to ECDC 20.02.003. However, while
the application is technically complete, additional information or clarification is required.
Please address all comments in a written response and by providing updated plans, as
appropriate:
Vegetation Management Plan. Because this project involves short platting an RS-12
zoned parcel into two lots, 30% of the total area of Lot 1 must be shown as native
vegetation area according to ECDC 23.90.040.C. The 30% requirement can be met
through maintaining existing native vegetation, by establishing new native
vegetation, or a combination of both. Lawn grass does not count and invasive
species are encouraged to be removed in accordance with code. Based on the
square footage of the Lot 1, approximately 16,323 square feet of native vegetation
area must be retained or established over proposed Lots A & B.
Please submit a preliminary vegetation management plan prepared in accordance
with ECDC 20.13.010. Call out the native vegetation area(s) to retained/established;
the area does not need to be contiguous. Identify all existing trees within proposed
Lot B along with their drip lines (include those trees on adjacent parcels whose drip
lines overlap proposed Lot B).
Each tree proposed to be removed must be accompanied by a Basic Tree Risk
Assessment Form prepared by an ISA-certified Tree Risk Assessor. In an associated
cover letter, they must explain why the tree(s) need to be removed. Any trees
removed must be replaced at a ratio of 2:1 with native trees as part of the
vegetation management plan. Trees to be retained must be protected during
development in accordance with ECDC 18.45.050.
A plant schedule (for native planting) is not required at this time but will be during
civil plan review. A critical area bond will be required for all trees and vegetation to
be installed prior to final short plat approval in accordance with ECDC 23.40.290.
2. Engineering comments. Please address the comments from the Engineering Division
dated January 27, 2015 (attached).
The City will proceed with the associated public notice requirements. However, please keep in
mind that a complete response to this information request must be received within 90 days
or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.D).
If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
�' VVV ly
