WASHINGTON 98020 • (206) 775.2525 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS July 15, 1981 Mr. Robert Strong 1015 12th Avenue North Edmonds, Washington 98020 Dear Mr. Strong: SUBJECT: DRAINAGE FROM NORTHVIEW ESTATES (P-2-80) HARVE H. HARRISON MAYOR We are writing in response to your letter of June 15, 1981. Just as you prefaced your specific questions with background information, we also wish to provide some background. Several of your questions relate to the history of the pipe on private property(s) on the north side of your house. We searched our files and could not find any written document to determine when this pipe was installed. We are continuing our search and will advise if we uncover any additional information. At the time the lots to the north of you were created by the plat of Wagner's Addition, the subject storm drain was shown as existing on the engineering drawing (dated 10-28-64). The engineering drawing also shows the pipe located at a natural low point in the road, a feature consistent with our.general topography maps. Placing a pipe in a drainage swal-e is not an unusual practice for both public and private owners. The lack of public easement does not make the pipe "illegal", especially in view of the time it has existed. The lack of public easement would seem to us to make the pipe a privately -owned pipe. As such, it must be kept operational and main tained by the private property owners. With this background, we shall specifically address the following of your questions: 1. "By what authority was the existing drainline constructed there being no recorded easement?" We find no record that the City installed nor granted authority to install the pipe. We also did not find any records corre- ',;spondence between private property owners regarding permission to install the pipe. 2. "Who constructed the drain?" Our records indicate the City did not install the pipe nor do _they indicate who did install the pipe. 3. "What pipe materials and jointing materials were used?" Engineering drawings prepared by Reid, Middleton and Associates indicate the pipe is a "10-inch Sewer". We have no additional - information about the pipe on private property. c i Letter to Robert Strong July 15, 1.981 Page 2 4. "Was the line inspected or tested by the City of Edmonds?" Our records do not indicate any inspection of the pipe on private property. Your remaining questions deal with the current situation regarding the subject plat and its drainage. Again, we would like to provide some back- ground. There are five new lots in the plat and an access road which extends 12th North about 250 feet. Lot 1 contains an existing house. Runoff from this house appears to flow to the north away from your property.' The topography of Lot 2 leads us to conclude that its driveway and a portion of its roof area will drain to the new street. Lots 3 and 4 will drain north, away from your property. Lot 5 will drain to the new roadway. All runoff from the new roadway, including that running onto it from the lots as mentioned above, is required to be directed to a,detention system. The detention system reduces the.peak outflow rate for most storms (a 10-year return period is the City's standard). Selection of the outflow point from the detention system is always made on a case -by -case basis. Our rationale for this situation is explained below. With this background, we will address the remaining questions in your letter: 5. "By -what right is the -City of Edmonds allowing the developer to add to the existing drainage?" The City reviews propmgedplats to determine if they meet applicable. requirements. If the requirements are satisfied, the City must approve the application. Regarding the drainage, the applicant is providing the required detention and other facilities. As explained below, we feel the connection to the private drain is preferable to other options and is not unreasonable in our view considering the circumstances. 6a. "Who was the design engineer--?" The design engineer was the firm of Lovell-Sauerland & Associates,' Inc. (of Edmonds). The drainage plan was stamped by Louis Caviezel, a Professional Engineer, of that firm. 6b. "Why were other drainage possibilities discarded?" We cannot speak for the design engineer regarding this question but we did request his input (our letter is attached). We will forward a copy of.his reply when it is received. Our analysis of the situation is as follows. First, if the new road was extended in the same way as previous extensions of 12th North from Vista Way, the new'(un-detained) runoff would reach the inlet of the subject private pipe by overland flow. A portion of the new plat is tributary to the subject pipe in this sense. Overland flow would be less desirable, however, than a pipe connection. The damage n Letter to Robert Strong July 15, 1981 Page 3 you mentioned from storm water funneling into your driveway was caused by overland flow not getting into the subject pipe. As you know, the.City has added pipe and inlets to get the water into the pipe. Our calculations show that the subject private pipe, itself, should have sufficient capacity. Two other alternative outflows were considered. Both would cause the water to arrive at the same drainage route as the water dis- charging from the private pipe. One alternative is to discharge concentrated flow from the detention system near the southwest corner of the plat.' The water would then run down a private access easement, heading straight for the house at 1107 12th•N. The house would deflect water to the south, to the common drainage route. The other alternative would involve a runoff spreader along a portion of the west edge of the plat. This spreader would have to be over 100 feet long, it would direct water first to the houses at 1100 and 1103 12th North, then to the house at 1107 12th North, then to the common drainage route. To summarize, we considered four alternative routes from the deten- tion system. One was overland flow along 12th North to the inlet of the subject private pipe. Another was the underground,pipe connection to the subject private pipe. Another was the 100-foot long runoff spreader. Another was concentrated discharge at'the, southwest corner of the plat. the pipe connection to the subject private pipe was considered the best alternative and not an unreason- able one. 6c. "If the present drainage planned for the plat has met the City of Edmonds design criteria and been checked and approved by the City of Edmonds, we would like to have our engineering consultant review the design calculations." The present plan has been approved. Your consultant can review it at our offices during working hours. We suggest he call to arrange a meeting in advance. For your information and for the record, we offer the following. There is sufficient groundwater in your area to cause water to rise through the asphalt in 12th North. It seems highly possible that groundwater itself has caused your basement leakage. It is possible, however, for you to run a T.V. camera through the pipe to examine its condition and help pinpoint locations, if any, which need repair. Letter to Robert Strong July 15, 1981 Page 4 To.briefly summarize, we feel that the subject pipe is the responsibility : of the property owner(s) and that connecting the =storm drain from the new plat is the best alternative available and is not unreasonable. If you have additional questions or would like additional information on firms who do the T.U. inspections, please contact us. To arrange a time to review the engineering drawings and calculations'for the subject plat, please contact Bob Franklin, at 771-3202, extension 282. Sincerely, c.r-y Erlyir�42� I'er.JAMES E.

Edmonds Civic Center Edmonds, Wa. 98020 Re: Drainage System for Plat of "Northview Estates" Dear Mr. Adams: July 6, 1981 LSA File No. 80-606 This letter is in reply to your letter of -June 18, 1981, wherein you requested our assistance in responding to certain questions posed by Mr. Robert Strong in his letter of June 15, 1981,,concerning storm drainage in the vicinity of the plat of "Northview Estates". In designing the storm drainage system for "Northview Estates", we considered two alternatives for the release of collected storm water run- off. The first alternative was to direct the discharged storm water toward the northwest corner of Lot 4 of the plat. However, certain factors dis- couraged our selection of this alternative. Existing ground conditions in the northwest portion of Lot 4 are potentially unstable due to steep slopes and the presence of excessive ground water. For this reason we felt that the usual methods of discharge, such as point discharge or dispersion trenches, were unsatisfactory due to the consequential increased potential for erosion and/or landslides which could result in the inundation of downhill properties. Construction of a pipeline through this area to any existing downhill drain- age structures or courses would involve very difficult construction problems and would require the acquisition of easements through any intervening pro- perties. In addition, such construction could also increase the potential for erosion and/or landslides due to the necessity for land clearing and trenching. j The second alternative considered and ultimately selected involved connection of the plat drainage system to the" existing drainage system in 12th Avenue North southerly of the plat. Our research disclosed that this system was installed in connection with the development of Wagner,'s Addition and a short subdivision developed by Jack Trafton. The Trafton subdivision was processed and approved by the City of Edmonds under Edmonds Planning Department No. S-8-61A and included the lot upon which Mr. Strong now re- sides. A development plan in your files, of which we now have a copy, shows a discharge pipe from the 12th Avenue N. drainage collection system, extended 23106 - 100TH W. EDMONDS, WASH. 98020 ! PHONE 775.1593 j. Mr. James Adams - 2 - July 6, 1981 into Mr. Strong's property to a point approximately 80 feet west of his northeast corner. According to the plan, the pipe daylights at this point. This pipe is probably the one to which Mr. Strong refers in his letter and which in his opinion is illegal. Frankly, because the discharge pipe was proposed and consequently constructed by the original developers of the Trafton subdivision and Wagner's Addition, it seems to me that -such was an integral part of their drainage system and as'such can hardly be considered illegal. Furthermore, in the possible absence of a recorded easement for the discharge pipe, it seems reasonable to conclude that, under the circum- stances, an easement was at least implied by virtue of the original devel- opers installation of same in accordance with their proposed development plan. As mentioned above, in the course of designing the drainage system for Northview Estates, we elected to connect the plat discharge pipe to the existing system in 12th Avenue N. because we felt that such a connection - would afford better control of the protracted release of collected runoff from the plat. Consequently, the plat development plan was prepared incor- porating such a connection and was subsequently submitted to and approved by your department. If you have any further questions or if we can assist you further in this matter in any way, please call. GWL:llk Sincerely, Louis F.

Edmonds, WA 98020 June 15, 1981 We purchased our property at 1015--12th Avenue North, Edmonds, Washington in March cf 1973 and soon discovered that there was a long-standing drainage problem. Because of the City of Edmonds street design on 12th Avenue N. between Vista Way and Maplewood Drive, during every heavy rain the rim -off over- flowed onto our property and the property was severly damaged by the storms. Further our neig�bors to the south on the adjacent lot sustained $101000 of documented damage because of storm water funneled to our driveways by the street design. The original drain, which is illegally on our property, was not connected down to the next lover street and the portions of this large volume of water funneled to our driveways that goes down the drains, dumps on the rear one-half of our property causing erosion and not allowing us to improve the western portion of our lot as this illegal drain is presently constructed. Mr. Franklin has made several investigations and I am certain that he has found that the City of Edmonds is in effect draining the whole hillside onto our property and now approving plans to add the drainage of pro party to the north and not directly above us or part of the natural drainage flow. The only easements given by our predecessor, Mr. Hogmal, according to the title search conducted beforewe purchased the property, are waterline, serer, and power. Mr. Franklin indicates that the City might press for an easement by adverse prescription; but obviously he is unaware that even if an easement by adverse prescription were granted, it would be illegal to funnel additional storm water from new areas onto our property and the only easement by adverse possession would be for storm waters for the stuatutoxy seven-year period. We repeat we are very concerned with this proposed plat development that has added an additional 12" line into the existing illegal drainage culvert because of our past problems. This property was formerly ovmed by Mr. and W.q.
