PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting preliminary short plat approval, street modification approval, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to subdivide
a property into six (6) residential lots and two (2) tracts. The project site (Tax Parcel 1123059068) is located at 5815 NE 8th St and totals approximately 84,070 square foot (1.93 acres)

bordered to the north by NE 8th St. The applicant is requesting a street modification to reduce the amount of right-of-way dedication needed to complete the roadway improvements on NE
8th St. Access to the site is proposed via a new half street extension of Pasco Pl NE and a shared driveway with a hammerhead turnaround. Two wetlands have been identified on the project
site, Wetland A is a 522 square feet Category IV wetland located on the southeast portion of the project site and Wetland B is a 469 square foot Category IV wetland located on the west
portion of the project site. Both wetlands would have a standard buffer of fifty feet (50'). The applicant is proposing to fill both wetlands and mitigate for the wetland fill through
