PACE conducted a feasibility study to develop a six-story apartment building on a 1.2-acre site on Rucker Avenue. The project includes demolishing the existing commercial buildings, two single-family residences, utilities, internal access driveways, parking areas, lighting, open/recreational space, landscaping, and frontage improvements along Rucker Avenue and 39th Street. Frontage improvements include replacing existing driveway curb cuts with a new curb and sidewalk, designing a new curb cut approximately mid-block, restoring utility trenching, and making landscape improvements.
Task one included researching, confirming, and documenting all available utilities and site development requirements related to the civil engineering components of the project. PACE gathered information on various utilities, including stormwater, water, sanitary sewer, gas, power, and telecommunication. We created a concept layout plan to show wet utility locations and potential connection points. Task two involved creating an outline of the permits and permit review structure for the civil components. We conducted permitting research for notice of intent, stormwater pollution prevention plan, temporary erosion control, site grading, drainage, and water and sewer utilities.
Our team researched and prepared the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) checklist and documentation required for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding. PACE worked with the client, the City of Everett, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to provide the required background information and supporting documentation for a Narrative and Determination Letter, which concluded with a Finding of No Effect for the project.
