GENERAL

4) Done.
5) 7/1/19 Not Done. No stormwater covenant found in the materials submitted. A Stormwater
Covenant is required to be recorded against the property based on the proposed stormwater
facilities for the project. Please complete the covenant, including notarization and any
required exhibits and submit to the city. Ensure the stormwater covenant meets Snohomish
County Record Drawing requirements. The document must be complete, but will not be
recorded prior to permit issuance. Prior to construction, final location of facilities are to be
verified (by field inspection and asbuilt) and then the covenant will be recorded.

OVD to Puget and up to 196th —all are arterials and should be used for hauling. Please
revise. Show haul routes.

DRY UTILITIES
1) 7/1/19 Please show gas connecting in street, separate from aerial utilities. Show all dry
utilities and required utility separation. Please add a note that a minimum of 3' separation is
required between the dry utilities (power, gas, phone, cable, etc.) and sewer, water, and
storm and 5' from any City main lines.
Driveway Waiver:
7/1/19 No new request was received. In reviewing the sidewalk waiver request, there is not enough
information for us to determine the situation meets the criteria for waiver. The two criteria are
economically unfeasible and practically impossible. To meet an economically unfeasible criteria,
actual monetary amounts need to be spelled out. Comparison between cost of project with sidewalk
construction and without sidewalk construction needs to be discussed. Included can be the
additional cost of designing stormwater for a category 2 site rather than a category 1 site. To meet
practically impossible there needs to be more of a reason than the steep slope alone. Would you
need to build retaining walls to support the sidewalk? Any type of over the top construction
necessary should be included here. The road alignment doesn't come in to this as the sidewalks
would be required along the existing road. As far as the telephone pole, developers move them
behind the sidewalk all the time so maybe look at where the pole could be moved to accommodate a
sidewalk. Keep the arguments for each criteria separate.
