00590700023800 (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, Shasta Ridge, LLC submitted a preliminary plat application to Snohomish
County for a 73 single family lot subdivision, which was approved by the County on January 8,
2007, based on the County's determination that the application was in compliance with all
County land use requirements that were applicable when the complete application was submitted
to the County; and
WHEREAS, following approval of the preliminary plat, the applicant constructed and
installed infrastructure including streets, stormwater detention and conveyance systems, water
and sewer systems, in compliance with County regulations; and
WHEREAS, before final plat approval was granted by Snohomish County, the Property
was annexed into the City of Marysville and the applicant has submitted a substantially revised
preliminary plat application to the City of Marysville for 110 single family lots (a mixture of 92
attached and 18 detached units); and

facilities on the Property be accepted; provided that impervious coverage, which is actually less
in the revised preliminary plat, is not increased; and further provided that Shasta Ridge, LLC
maximizes the use of low impact development techniques as set forth in the Development
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

were established per County code, also be accepted, because the plat infrastructure is in place,

buffers unless the utilities and streets were relocated, which is not economicaUy feasible or
environmentally acceptable; provided that mitigation measures are implemented as set forth the
Development Agreement; and

preliminary plat design is consistent with the City comprehensive plan, development regulations,
and standards, except for the above referenced drainage facilities and wetland buffers; (2)the
revised preliminary plat design is superior to the previously approved design and provides
additional open space and a public park; and (3) the City's SEPA Responsible Official has issued
a mitigated determination of non-significance for the revised preliminary plat and this
Development Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the public benefits available from the development of
the property as proposed by Shasta Ridge, LLC; and
WHEREAS, in authorizing development agreements pursuant to RCW Sections
36.70B.170-210, the Legislature found that the lack of certainty in the approval of development
projects can result in a waste of public and private resources, escalate housing costs for
