<br />Marian Meadows Rezone and Subdivision Final Environmental Impact Statement 3-40 <br /> The Alternative 1 and 2 PUDs with 443 lots would result in a total of about 770 single-family lots <br />in the area. The majority of the area would be in large lots greater than 3 acres, but the largest <br />number of lots would be smaller than 1 acre, with the Marian Meadows development contributing <br />nearly 60 percent of the total lots. Under Alternative 2 the Marian Meadows site would contain the <br />only multi-family development in the area. <br /> Under Alternatives 3A and 3B, the No Action Alternatives with 3-acre lots and also with <br />Alternative 4, on both the east and west portions of the site, there would be about 147 lots within <br />the proposal, and a total of about 470 lots would be developed in the area. This amounts to about <br />60 percent of the cumulative number of lots with Alternatives 1 and 2. The majority of <br />development in the area under Alternatives 3A and 3B would be in large lots of 3 acres in size or <br />larger. Under Alternative 4, the majority of lots in the area would be less than 1.5 acres in size. <br /> Under Alternative 3C with 33 lots within the proposal, a total of about 360 lots would be <br />developed in the area. This amounts to about 47 percent of the cumulative number of lots with <br />Alternatives 1 and 2. The majority of development in the area would be in large lots of 3 acres in <br />size or larger. <br /> Under Alternative 3D and Alternative 5 with 113 lots, a total of about 443 lots would be <br />developed in the area. This amounts to about 58 percent of the cumulative number of lots with <br />Alternatives 1 and 2. With Alternative 3D, the majority of development in the area would be in <br />large lots of 3-acres in size or larger. With Alternative 5, the majority of development in the area <br />would be in small lots less than one acre in size. <br />Table 3-3 indicates the potential population associated with the cumulative increase in lots for each of the <br />tenure alternatives. <br />Depending on the proportion of full-time versus part-time residences and the proportion of retirees, a FTE <br />population was calculated with an average household size of 3.25 for full-time seasonal occupancy and a <br />household size of 2.1 for retired. Seasonal FTE population was based on occupancy of units about a <br />quarter of the time. (This would be equivalent to occupancy every weekend, or about 50 percent of <br />weekends and four full weeks per year, or a variety of other combinations.) Under the various tenure <br />scenarios, the area served by Sparks Road could vary in FTE population from 2,300 to about 800. During <br />peak weekend periods the maximum population would be occasionally expected, regardless of the mix of <br />full-time and seasonal occupants. <br />Alternatives 1 and 2 FTE cumulative population would vary between 2,060 full-time residents and <br />1,300 full-time and seasonal residents depending on the tenure scenario. For comparative purposes, this <br />population would range from 110 percent larger than the 2009 population of Cle Elum (1,870) to about <br />70 percent of the size of Cle Elum. Comparable cities in Washington at the higher end of the range would <br />include Leavenworth in Eastern Washington, or Westport on the Pacific Coast. The smaller end of the <br />range would include Winlock in Lewis County or Sumas near the U.S.-Canadian border in <br />Whatcom County.
