The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) locator for the property is Section 24, Township 31N,
Range 5E, W.M. The property is located on a ridge, dividing it into two drainage basins. The
western portion of the property is located within the Armstrong Creek-Stillaguamish River Sub-
basin, while the eastern portion is located within the Lower South Fork Stillaguamish River Sub-
basin. Both sub-basins contribute to the Stillaguamish watershed,Water Resources Inventory Area
(WRIA) 5.

The site was set aside as future development tract as part of the plat of Quail Ridge, which was
developed in Snohomish County prior to annexation into Arlington. The tract includes
undeveloped, forested areas east and west of the previously developed residential lots. Canopy
cover on site includes primarily red alder(Alms rubra)and some interspersed conifer trees,including
western red cedar (Thuja plicata) and western hemlock (Tsuga heteroplglla). The understory consists
of salmonberry(Rubus spectabilis), Himalayan blackberry(Rubus anneniacus), and western sword fern
(Polystichum munitum). The topography of the site is varied,with ridges generally oriented northwest-
southeast. Surrounding land use is generally low density residential, or undeveloped forest.
The wetland and stream boundaries, classifications, and buffers were previously approved as part
of the Quail Ridge development (Snohomish County Project File Number 01-113404). Two

wetlands (Wetlands A and B), and one stream (Stream A) are located on the site. Wetlands A and
B are classified as Category 3 wetlands with 50-foot buffers. Stream A is classified as a Type 4
Stream with a 50-foot buffer.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a short plat within the future development tract,creating two residential
lots and one tract. Drainfields for the new homes will be located in the forested area west of the
existing homes. Septic transport lines are required to cross under Wetland B and its buffer to
connect to the new drainfields. This work is proposed through directional boring,which will avoid
critical area and buffer impacts. No temporary or permanent impacts are proposed, so no
mitigation or restoration is required.
