<br />Marian Meadows Rezone and Subdivision Final Environmental Impact Statement 1-13 <br />How many lots are in the area now? <br />At the current time there are about <br />200 lots in the vicinity. About <br />40 percent of them are vacant. <br />About a third of them are less than 3 <br />acres in size and are largely <br />included in three existing <br />subdivisions. The majority of the <br />other parcels range from 3 to 5 acres <br />with a few parcels ranging from 20 to <br />40 acres south of Sparks Road. The <br />state-owned Easton Airport is about <br />280 acres. <br /> Burn permits for outdoor burning <br />The Washington State Department of Health will review: <br /> Water System Expansion Design Approval <br /> Recycled Water Application Permit. <br />The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will review: <br /> Hydraulic Project Approval for relocation of a watercourse (if the existing watercourses across the <br />property are determined to be within its jurisdiction). <br />The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will review: <br /> Forest Practices Permit for clearing of the site. <br />8 What other independent projects may occur near <br />the proposal that may affect impacts? <br />Potential cumulative impacts may occur from land <br />development in the project vicinity in the area north of I-90 <br />served by Sparks Road. Two scenarios would be evaluated: <br /> Development at existing rural densities at one unit per <br />3 to 5 acres; and <br /> Development at the intensity allowed under PUD <br />regulations as proposed for the Marian Meadows site, <br />resulting in about one unit per acre. <br />Rural Density <br />Development under existing zoning allowing one lot per 3 acres would allow additional development only <br />for those lots larger than 6 acres. Subdivision of parcels large enough for subdivision (excluding the <br />airport) into 3-acre parcels could create an additional 130 lots. When added to the existing 200 lots <br />(about 80 of which are vacant), there would be a total of about 330 lots in the vicinity outside <br />Marian Meadows. <br />PUD Density <br />Development is based on the premise that approval of the Marian Meadows PUD application would set a <br />precedent to allow a similar density up to three times that of the current zoning, or about one unit per acre. <br />If development reflecting this density of development were applied to the area as a whole, many of the <br />existing parcels larger than 2 acres could be subdivided. Subdivision of eligible parcels (excluding the <br />airport) into 3-acre parcels could create about 550 lots in the area, including the existing 200 lots (about <br />80 of which are vacant).
