<br />Marian Meadows Rezone and Subdivision Final Environmental Impact Statement 2-4 <br /> Impacts from road and future residential construction on steep sloping hillsides in the eastern <br />portion of the site would be avoided. <br /> Potential risks of wildfire to persons and property would be reduced by avoiding the area with the <br />highest potential risk and with lower potential for successful evacuation and successful fire <br />suppression. <br /> Additional public service costs from water service to higher elevations, road maintenance, snow <br />removal, and fire and emergency medical service response would be avoided. <br /> Larger contiguous areas would be retained for wildlife habitat and wildlife corridors without <br />impacts from nearby residential use. <br /> About 32 acres in the southwest portion of the site would be undeveloped to accommodate the <br />Easton State Airport safety zone. <br /> About 6 acres in the southeast portion of the site would be undeveloped to avoid an alluvial fan and <br />debris flow hazard and would accommodate berms and a channel to convey water. <br /> Fewer deeper lots would be provided within the alluvial fan/debris flow hazard in the northern <br />portion of the lower site with berms and a channel to convey water away from building areas on the <br />lots. <br /> Recreation or other use may be accommodated in the airport safety zone and area of geologic <br />hazard. <br /> The BPA transmission line easement could provide the potential for trail use. <br /> Additional public service costs from water service to higher elevations, road maintenance, snow <br />removal, and fire and emergency medical service response would be avoided. <br /> Larger contiguous areas would be retained in the upper portion of the site for wildlife habitat <br />without adverse impacts from nearby residential use. <br /> Access, water service, and sewage disposal would be the same as in Alternative 1. <br />This alternative shows the same layout for up to 300 mini-storage units along the northeast side of the <br />BPA easement as shown in Alternative 1. <br />Element 2 - Preliminary Plat <br />The second element of the proposal is a preliminary plat covering the western one-third of the property <br />that would be divided into 225 lots with an average lot size of approximately 0.41 acre, or about 17,500 <br />square feet. <br />The preliminary plat includes the following features: <br /> Primary access would be provided to Sparks Road, a county-maintained public road to the south. <br /> Secondary access would be provided to Country Drive near the north boundary of the plat, a <br />privately maintained public road. As an alternative or supplement, a second access could be
