Marian Meadows Rezone and Subdivision Final Environmental Impact Statement 2-3 Alternative 1 is shown in Figure 2-1 and includes the applicant’s proposed plat layout with 226 lots on the western portion of the site, together with the “pro-forma” lot layout on the east side. For analysis purposes, this alternative is presumed to have 443 lots. The lot arrangement on the eastern portion of the site is provided for illustrative purposes only and is only one potential arrangement of lots. The western, lower, flatter portion of the property is proposed to be divided into 226 lots on about 120 acres or about 1.8 lots per acre. After removal of area for roads, the lot size would be a little less than 0.5 acre. The eastern, steeper portion of the property would host the remaining 218 lots on 305 acres. The applicant has not prepared a specific proposal for that portion of the site. Because of the lack of a specific proposal, a “pro-forma” layout of potential building sites and lots on that portion of the site has been developed for the EIS. The 218 lots on 305 acres is a nominally lower density of 0.72 lots per acre. The steep sloping portions of this site, together with a stream and wetland area, leave only 100 to 150 acres of this portion of the site suitable for building. The layout features lots that vary from about 0.25 acre to about 5 acres. The site layout and PUD proposal includes the following features:  Primary access would be provided to Sparks Road, a county-maintained public road to the south.  Secondary access would be provided to Country Drive near the north boundary of the plat, a privately maintained public road.  An open space area of about 100 acres is proposed in the northeast corner of the property adjacent to the Wenatchee National Forest.  Water service would be provided by the Easton Water District No. 3.  Sewage disposal would be provided through a reclaimed wastewater treatment plant to be built by the applicant, and designed such that treated effluent would meet standards for recycled water. An element that is not part of the PUD application shown on Figure 2-1 is the development of up to 300 mini-storage units along the northeast side of the BPA easement, which was excluded from the PUD application and received CUP approval on February 18, 2010 (File No. CU-09-00003). The plans for the mini-storage site include an internal roadway parallel to and 10 feet from the edge of the BPA right-of- way with buildings located northeast of the road. The conceptual plans indicate up to 300 units provided in the 16 structures shown in the approved CUP. Alternative 2 is shown in Figure 2-2 and includes clustered development in the lower portion of the site to avoid development in the steep eastern portion of the site and provides:  Approximately 195 single-family lots ranging from about 5,000 square feet to about 20,000 square feet with slightly larger lots along the margins of the site or adjacent to the BPA transmission line easement, which would provide for a wildlife corridor through the site.  A multi-family site of about 12.5 acres would accommodate 248 units, or about 20 units per acre if the full PUD density maximum of 443 units is reached.
