Critical Areas Determination
Applicant: N/A (Study requirements from Determination #: CA-93-57
prior Conditional Waiver
determination)
Project Name: Permit Number:
Site Location: 1142 Sierra Place Property Tax Acct #: 5489-000-022-1506
Project Description:
Non -Project Specific
Determination: Study Required:
A recent inquiry regarding the ability to develop the subject property led to research of the
existing file for the property, S-94-10. The file contains a prior Critical Areas Determination.
However, a Conditional Waiver had been issued for the pending project. No Study Required
letter had thus been prepared. Although the file contains some information on and evaluation of
the Critical Areas that exist on the property, the documents were not prepared to the current
standards required by the Edmonds Community Development Code (EDCD) for the evaluation
of Critical Areas. In order to clarify the nature of the Critical Areas Study needed to determine
the development potential of the property, the following Study Required Determination has been
made:
It has been determined that the subject site contains Critical Areas including a stream, a wetland,
and steep slopes pursuant to Chapter 20.1513 of the Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC).
Based on this finding, prior to submission of any development permit, you will be required
satisfy the requirements of ECDC 20.1513 by completing the following:
Stream / Wetland
The site has been found to contain a stream and a wetland. Based on the above findings, a
Critical Areas Study is required to determine the hydrology of the area and to delineate the
approximate boundaries and identify buffers for the stream and wetland.
In addition, the study will determinde whether or not salmonids, migrating fish, use the stream.
If they do, a 50 foot buffer and a 15 foot building setback is required from the top of the stream
bank. If salmonids do not use the stream, a 25 foot buffer and a 15 foot building setback is
required from the top of the banks.

The required qualified critical areas consultant needed to perform the study shall be a specialist
in botany, fisheries, wetland biology, and/or hydrology with a minimum of two years' field
experience with wetlands and/or streams in the Pacific Northwest. This part of the required
Critical Areas Study shall be performed as a three party agreement with the city selecting the
consultant and the property owner or applicant paying the fees as required in ECDC
20.15B.140(D). The applicant may suggest qualified professionals for the City's approval.
The qualified critical areas consultant shall perform the following:
1. Classification of the stream pursuant to the criteria established in ECDC Section
20.15B.060(A)(4).
2. Delineate the edge of the stream on the site.
3. State any mitigating measures appropriate to preserving and protecting the stream.
4. Determine whether or not a natural wetland exists on the property.
The qualified critical areas consultant shall perform the following evaluation of the wetland:
Classify the wetland pursuant to the criteria established in ECDC Section 20.15B.060(A)
(5).
2. Delineate the edge of the wetland on the site.
3. State any mitigating measures appropriate to preserving and protecting the wetland.
After the qualified critical areas consultant has delineated the stream and wetland boundaries, a
surveyor licensed by the State of Washington must perform the following:
1. Delineate the required buffer (see ECDC 20.15B.120.(A) and 20.15B.130.(C)).
2. Delineate the required building setback from the buffer (required setback is 15 feet).
3. Create a map showing the buffer and the building setback.
The Land Surveyor is not required to enter into a three party contract.
Steen Slope Hazard Area Delineation Requirements:
To determine if a Steep Slope Hazard Area does exist, a topographic survey prepared by a
Licensed Land Surveyor delineating Steep Slope Hazard Areas must be completed. Any slope of
40% or more with at least 20 feet of rise will be classified as a Steep Slope Hazard Area. A 50-
foot buffer is required from both the top and toe of the slope. A 15-foot building setback is
required from the 50-foot buffer.

For development of any kind which is proposed within the critical area, 50-foot buffer or 15-foot
buffer setback, it must be shown that the development will not adversely impact the Critical Area
or its buffer, by doing one or possibly both of the following depending on the outcome of the
study:
1. For development proposals which will occur within the 50-foot buffer, but no closer than
10 feet from the top or toe of the slope, the 50-foot buffer requirement may be reduced to
10 feet if a study is completed by a licensed geologist or geotechnical engineer which
clearly demonstrates that the proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon
the site, the public or any private party.
2. If development must occur within the critical area, buffer, and/or buffer setback, and is
not identified as exempt per ECDC Chapter 20.1513, a Reasonable Use Exception and
Variance must be obtained pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.I70A and 20.1513.040C.
If the results of the Critical Areas Study determine that the lot may not be developed, the
applicant may apply for a Reasonable Use Exception and Variance pursuant to ECDC
20.15B.170(A) and 20.15B.040(C)).
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel
would not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal to
the Planning Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the proposed
development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Area or its buffers, a conditional
waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
