CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
Site Location:
9118 Olympic View Drive
Tax Acct. Number:
18270420040007
Determination:
Study Required
Determination #:
CRA-2006-141
Applicant:
R. Liz Reinitz
Owner:
Bob Schmitt
CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT: STUDY REQUIRED (CRA-2006-141)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may be either adjacent to or
contain critical areas, including Geologically Hazardous areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.40 and 23.80
of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
GENERAL CRITICAL AREAS REPORT REQUIREMENTS
Critical Areas Reports identify, classify, and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject
property that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess these areas and identify any potential
impacts resulting from your specific development proposal. If a specific development proposal results
in an alteration to a critical area, the critical areas report will also contain a mitigation plan. You have
the option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and delineates the critical areas and
waiting until you have a specific development proposal to complete the study. You may also choose
to submit the entire study with your specific development application.
Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas that are listed in
ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical
areas (see below).
Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in
the ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study, and there is an
approved list of consultants that you may choose from. You may contact the Planning
Division for more information.
General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in ECDC 23.40.110
through 23.40.140.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — EROSION HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains or is adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area. Erosion Hazard
Areas include:
0 Those areas with Alderwood and Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater.
• Any area with slopes of 15 percent or greater and impermeable soils interbedded with
granular soils and springs or ground water seepage.
• Areas with significant visible evidence of ground water seepage, and which also include
existing landslide deposits regardless of slope.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH EROSION HAZARD AREAS
Development within an Erosion Hazard Area must meet additional criteria.
For erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, the only critical area study needed is an
erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance with the requirements set forth in
Chapter 18.30 ECDC as part of the construction documents. This option is at the director's
discretion, per Edmonds Community Development Code section 20.80.050.G.
In areas where the slope stability is not suitable, projects within Erosion Hazard Areas will
require a report by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer or other qualified professional. Note that
it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the
ordinance.
9 Report requirements are given in ECDC 23.80.050, and more generally in ECDC 23.40.090.D.
0 Development standards are given in ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains or is adjacent to a Landslide Hazard Area.
A Landslide Hazard Area is any area with a slope of forty percent (40%) or steeper and with a
vertical relief of ten (10) or more feet (except areas composed of consolidated bedrock).
0 Landslide Hazard Areas are further defined and illustrated in ECDC 23.80.020.B.
In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific
Critical Area report requirements for Landslide Hazard Areas are provided in ECDC
23.80.050.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREAS
Development is restricted within a Landslide Hazard Area and its buffer.
• Projects that will intrude into these areas will require a report by a licensed Geotechnical
Engineer.
• The criteria that are applied depend on the amount that the buffer is reduced.
• The buffer can be reduced to a minimum of ten (10) feet (with an additional 15' building
setback per ECDC 23.40.280) if a report is prepared that meets the standards listed in ECDC
23.80.050. The alteration must also meet the requirements listed in ECDC 23.80.060.
• In addition, proposals to reduce the buffer to less than ten (10) feet must comply with the
design standards listed in ECDC 23.80.070.A.3.
ALLOWED ACTIVITIES
Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.20. If you
have any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed activity, please
contact a Planner for more information.
EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements (ECDC 23.40.230).
If you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more
information.

20..15B.090 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: GENERAL
A. Any development proposal on a site which is within, includes,
or is adjacent to any Critical Area must be planned, designed
and appropriately mitigated so as to demonstrate conformance
with the purposes of this Chapter. No alteration of a critical
Area or its buffer shall be permitted unless the City grants an
exception pursuant to Section 20.15B.040 or as provided below
for the specific category of Critical Area.
In addition, the following standards may be required for all
Critical Areas:
1 Sequencing clearing and grading activities to minimize
areas of disturbance and allowing for clearing only during
the dry season of May 1 through September 10;
2. Limiting vegetation removal and mandating vegetation
retention;
3. Requiring temporary fencing of clearing limits around
Critical Areas and their buffers prior to any land
clearing commencing on site;
4. Requiring buffers established pursuant to the development
standards established by this Chapter;
5. Requiring additional building setbacks or the
establishment of Critical Areas' as natural open spaces;
6. Limiting or reducing the types or densities of particular
uses;
7. The preparation of specific site management plans for
temporary sedimentation, erosion control, or other
purposes; or
8. Site restoration to, at the least, the pre-existing
conditions.
(05/31/92)
267-19
B. Buffers.
1. General. The City shall have the authority to require
buffers on critical Areas dependent upon the sensitivity
of the Critical Area, the degree of anticipated impact,
and the proposed land use adjacent to the Critical Area.
Buffer requirements for each specific type of Critical
Area are contained within the Development Standards
Sections which follow.
2. Averaging. Standard critical Area buffers may be
modified, by City Planning staff, on a case by case basis.
Averaging buffer widths may be authorized only where the
applicant demonstrates all of the following:
267-20
a That averaging is necessary to provide reasonable
use of the property:
b. That the Critical Area contains variations in
sensitivity due to existing physical characteristics
and that reduction from standard buffer widths will
occur only immediately next to the portion of the
Critical Area determined to be least sensitive;
C. That low intensity land uses would be located
immediately next to areas where buffer width is
reduced, and that such low intensity land uses are
guaranteed in perpetuity by covenant, deed
restriction, easement, or other legally binding
mechanism;
d. That width averaging will not adversely impact the
Critical Areas' functional values; and
e. That the total area contained within the buffer
after averaging is no less than that contained
within the standard buffer prior to averaging. In
no instance, except where a previously existing
legal encumbrance exists, shall the buffer width be
reduced to less than 50% of the standard buffer
width required.
When a buffer is reduced, a buffer enhancement plan using
native vegetation and" fencing where appropriate must be
reviewed and submitted for the area of remaining buffer.
The purpose of the buffer enhancement plan is to improve
the function of the buffer to provide adequate protection
to the Critical Area.
Increasin . Standard buffers may be increased on a
case -by -case basis when Planning Staff or their
representative determines that a larger buffer is
necessary to protect the Critical Area functions and
values known to be particularly sensitive to disturbance.
(05/31/92)
20 .15B. 090
20.15B. 100
A substantiated determination, prepared by staff or their
representative, shall be attached as a permit condition
and shall demonstrate that:
A larger buffer is necessary to maintain viable
populations of existing species; or
The Critical Area is used by species proposed or
listed by the federal government or the state as
Endangered, Threatened, Rare, or Sensitive; that
critical or outstanding potential habitat for those
species is present; or that nesting sites such as
heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees are present
in the critical Area or its buffer; or
C. The Critical Areas located within 25 feet of the toe
of slopes equal to or greater than 30%. Such
buffers may be increased to include the top of
slopes determined to be erosion hazards; or
The land use which is proposed is incompatible with
the Critical Area in question.
C. Building Setback Lines. A building setback line of 15 feet is
required from the edge of any buffer to prevent construction
intrusions into the buffer. The setback shall be identified on
the site plan which is filed as an attachment to the notice on
title required by Section 20.15B.170(B).
D. Authority to Condition or Deny. In addition to its general
authority under this Chapter and any other applicable law or
Chapter, the City may condition or deny a development proposal
if it is determined that the development proposal will increase
the potential of soil movement or otherwise result in an
unacceptable risk of injury to persons or damage to the
structure, site or adjacent properties; or will result in an
unacceptable risk of significant harm to a Critical Area or its
functional values. The City further shall have the authority
to impose conditions for each Critical Area as provided in
Sections 20.15B.090 through Section 20.15B.140.
Construction Monitoring. The City may require that a qualified.
Critical Area consultant, at the direction of the City, monitor
the development proposal site during construction at the
applicant's expense. The qualified Critical Area consultant
shall monitor compliance with the conditions or restrictions
imposed by the City Department of Community Development. The
conditions imposed by the City may be based on the
recommendations in the Critical Area Study conducted per the
requirements Of Section 20.15B.150 or a Mitigation plan
conducted per the requirements of Section 20.15B.160. ,
(05/31/92) 267-21
The city may require the qualified Critical Area consultant to
make written, dated monitoring reports on the progress of the
construction at such timely intervals as may be specified. The
city may require a final statement from the qualified Critical
Area consultant that, in his or her professional opinion, based
upon site observations and testing during the monitoring of the
construction, the completed development substantially complies
with the recommendations in the Critical Area study and all
conditions of approval.
Assurance Devices. The city may require appropriate assurance
devises, such as performance bonds, in a formlapproved by the
City attorney whenever the City determines that the public
interest would not be served by the issuance of a permit in a
Critical Area without some assurance of a means of providing
for restoration of such areas or repair of property damage that
may be caused by construction in such areas. Performance bonds
may be required for an amount equal to 120% of the estimated
costs of designing and constructing the required compensation.

waivers. When staff determines, based on review of the
Critical Area Checklist, a preliminary field investigation, and
the review of technical information available to staff, that:
1. There will be no alteration of the Critical Area or its
required buffers pursuant to the requirements of this
Chapter;
2. The development proposal will not impact the Critical Area
in a manner contrary to the goals, purposes, objectives
and requirements of this Chapter; and
3. The development proposal meets the minimum standards of
this Chapter; then
4. Staff may waive the requirement for a more detailed
Critical Area study.
In no case may staff waive the need for a detailed Compensatory
Mitigation Plan if Critical Area impacts *are identified, unless
the applicant is proposing to use a plan already reviewed and
approved by staff which meets the criteria and standards of
this Chapter.
C. Critical Area Studies: Contents. When it is determined by the
staff of the City that a critical Area study is required for a
development activity proposal, the minimum criteria for study
content specific to each Critical Area type will be required.
Detailed criteria will be provided within the Administrative
Rules for this Chapter. When proposing compensatory mitigation
designs, additional detailed studies will be required.
D. City Approved Critical Ar eas Consultant. Promptly following
the effective date of this ordinance, and at the beginning of
every calendar year thereafter, the City shall issue a Request
for Qualifications and Proposals from qualified Critical Areas
technical consultants for the purpose of identifying qualified
consultants for the City. An applicant may choose one of the
qualified technical consultants on the City's approved list in
preparing Critical Area studies per the requirements of this
Chapter or may apply to utilize an alternative consultant. If
an alternative consultant is approved he/she should be added to

Independent Revie . Based on a review of the information
contained in the Critical Area study and the conditions of the
ievelopment proposal site, the planning official may require
independent review of any such study. This independent review
shall be performed by a qualified technical consultant selected
by the City and paid for by the City. The purpose of such
independent review is to provide the City with objective
technical assistance in evaluating the accuracy. of submitted
reports and/or the effects on Critical Areas which may be
caused by a development proposal and to facilitate the
decision -making process. Staff may have technical assistance
provided by appropriate resource agency staff if such
assistance is available in a timely manner.
20.15B.160 MITIGATION
A. Mitigation Seguence. As defined in this Chapter mitigation
includes avoiding, minimizing or compensating for adverse
impacts to a Critical Area or its buffer. When a proposed
development activity poses potential adverse impacts to a
Critical Area or its buffer the following prioritized sequence
of mitigation shall be followed:
1. Avoid the impact altogether by not taking a certain action
or parts of an action;
2. Minimize impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of
the action and its implementation, by using appropriate
technology, or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or
reduce impacts;
3. Rectify the impact by repairing, rehabilitating or
restoring the affected environment;
4. Reduce or eliminate the impact over time by preservation
and maintenance operations during the life of the action;
5. Compensate for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or
providing substitute resources or environments; and
6. Monitor the impact and the compensation project and taking
appropriate corrective measures.
Compensatory Mitigation. As a condition of any permit allowing
alteration of a Critical Area or its buffer, or as an
enforcement action pursuant to Section 20. 15B. 180 (B) , the City
shall require that the applicant shall provide compensatory
mitigation in the form of restoration or creation of the
Critical Area and its buffer in order to offset the impacts
267-32
(05/31/92)
20.158.17a
resulting from the applicant's or violator's actions. The
minimum overall goal of compensatory mitigation shall be no net
loss of the function and size of the Critical Area.
Enhancement of existing significantly degraded wetlands or
streams may be considered for partial compensation. When
enhancement of an existing significantl'y degraded wetland or
stream is proposed as compensation for the loss of existing
functional wetland or stream, the replacement ratios as
provided within Section 20.15B.140(D) shall be doubled.
Compensation shall be completed prior to wetland or stream
alteration, where possible.
Compensatory mitigation for streams, wetlands, and wildlife
habitat conservation areas shall follow an approved
compensatory mitigation plan pursuant to Section 20.15B.160,
with the replacement ratios specified in Section 20.15B.140(D)
and shall meet the following minimum performance standards:
1. The proposed Compensatory Mitigation will establish
quantifiable goals and objectives in order for the City to
determine the success of the plan over time in order tt
release Performance bonds or require contingency actions
if necessary;
2. The Compensatory Mitigation will be conducted on property,
demonstrated by the applicant, to be able to be protected
and managed to avoid further development or degradation,
and to provide for long-term preservation of the
compensation; and
3. The applicant and their representatives shall demonstrate
sufficient scientific expertise, supervisory capability,
and financial resources, including bonding, to carry out
the project; and demonstrate the capability for monitoring
the site and to make corrections during this period if the
project fails to meet projected goals.
20.15B.170 CRITICAL AREA TRACTS AND NOTICE ON TITLE
A. Critical Area Tracts : The City may require that where
development or alteration is prohibited or limited based on the
presence of a Critical Area or its buffer, pursuant to this

Dear Mr. Kairez:
SUBJECT: REDUCTION IN WATER BILL -
ACCOUNT #207-15500
This letter is in regard to your request for another
reduction in your water bill. On July 1, 1983, the City
gave you a credit of $228.54 and on September 10, 1983,
you received a credit of $90.95 for a total of $329.49.
You were informed by way of a door hanger and also verbally
by Lee Willeiksen of our Water/Sewer Division that you had
a leak which entitled you to these credits.
The City cannot give you another credit, but we will
make arrangements for you to pay the bill in two payments.
Please contact our Utility Billing Office at 771-3051 to
make these arrangements.
Sincerely,
BOBBY R. MILLS

Dear Mr. Craig,
Your request for deviation from the City's detention storage requirement for the subject plat is
denied. Attached is information regarding previous problems (flooding, washout, erosion)
with the downstream storm system. High velocities in this system due to the slope could cause
similar washouts in the future if storm rates are not controlled.
Craig, we have serious concerns about another pipeline paralleling the sewer pipeline on the
bluff. Any failure of the new pipeline or damage to the sewer pipeline will have very serious
consequences. I realize your firm has liability insurance and you would be liable for a failure.
I would think you would keep the risk to a minimum. Being involved in a problem five (5)
years or more would not be in anyone's best.interest later if the design and construction of
their facility is left to a failure or damage. You and your firm's liability will stay with you the
life of the facility.
Sincerely,
R" C� �? a- 2 �-, �

MEMO TO: Edmonds Planning Division
FROM: Don Fiene, Hydraulics Engineer
SUBJECT: Proposed, 15-Lot Subdivision at 9117 Olympic View Drive
Attached is a letter from Mr. Linton, a' homeowner downstream of the proposed subject
development. Due to prior problems with flooding and erosion on his property, Mr.
Linton would prefer that stormwater from the proposed development bypass the system
which goes through his lot. However, this -is not feasible due to the steep slopes on the
Kairez property.
Because of the existing high rates of flow in the storm system and the difficulty of
maintaining the system, it appears that the best and most appropriate method for
handling stormwater from the new development -is to detain the water in an
underground pipe or vault and release it at the predeveloped rate. Allowing the
storinwater to pass the site uncontrolled would create higher rates of flow which could
result.in a washout similar to that which occurred previously.

Attention: Je ffrey S. Wilson
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance
on.the proposed 15 lot subdivision located at 0117 Olympic*View
Drive. I currently -own the property directly to the north of the
subdivision shown as Lot 36 and 37, and my residence at 17802
Talbot Road.
With respect to th? pr�-1 . iminary site plan on file at the City of
Edmonds planning division I have great concerns to the proposed
storm retention design. '
In February of 1967, due to heavy rainfall, water run off coming
from property above and -including the proposed 15 lot
subdivision, saturated the ground and a large landslide on Lot 37
occurred. The resulting slide blocked the railroad tracks and
ended up in Puget Sound. The City, in an effort to prevent this
from recurring, installed a 24" storm Pipe through Lot 37.
It is my concern that an open retention pond, large enough to
handle this size subdivision not properly designed or
maintain
ed, will create conditions that'will allow this washout
to happen again'.
Further, the existing storm system manhole located on Lot 37,
which would receive the run-off from the retention pond,
cu�rently appears to be running at near capacity during heavy
rainfall. Steep terrain, dense landscape, rockety walls,* and
retaining walls all make maintenance of the existing storm line
on Lot 37 very difficult.
PRECISION Arj[D GEr,'-:
_RAL ME-FAL FABRICATION
It would be my recommendation to:
(A) If site water retention�is necessary, . that a design using
the concrete vault method with an overflow draining to the west
side of the site be used.
(B) Cappi�g the existing system at Lot 37. Intersecting the
existing line south of Lot 37, and connecting it to the new
subdivision storm system sized to handle the increased loads.
And routing the outfall line down the slope on the west side of(
the site, running parallel to the railroad tracks at that
elevation, and tying into the existing manhole that currently
drains under the tracks to Puget Sound. The existing line
entering this manhole would remain to handle the storm sewer
loads from Lot 36 and 37, and Talbot Road.
If designed in this. manner, site storm retention may,not be
necessary.
1 would be most happy to meet someone from the engineering
division*, or a representative from Lovell-Sauerland & Associates,
9t ttrs,,,s�te to better explain my concerns.

Edmonds, WA 98020
Subject: Proposed Preliminary Plat of Kairez Vista (P-93-216); Detention Storage requirements
Dear Mr. Alberts:
To date the preliminary plat process for Kairez Vista has not resolved the issue of detention storage
to the mutual satisfaction of the City and the developer. Toward that end, the following discussion
is an amplification of information we have previously presented. Hopeftilly this information will
provide sufficient justification for the City to eliminate detention as a requirement of development.
Chapter 18 of the Community Development Code for the City of Edmonds provides the guidance
for application of drainage rules and regulations. Its stated purpose (paraphrasing section 18.30.000)
is to maintain high quality� wate - f b t cti it fiom'polhifion, to protect 4and:-. near.,.
y pro e ing
development from higher rufioff.,riai6s� Which might"c'.ause' eto"'*s*iofi'o'r-iloo"d-mg',�t6- p*rotedt'Private'and"
public property from' flooding or,'etosion, 'and to''prorhotd develo'
pm6nt � practices' to" Assure these,
purposes are met.
Also, Section 18.30.040 H. allows deviations 'from the requirements of the code, based on the
capacity and condition of downstream facilities, the effect on receiving bodies of water, damage from
on -site disposal of water, existence of regional detention facilities, or major difficulties in maintaining
the drainage system.
The downstream drainage situation for this project was previously discussed in a Lovell-Sauerland
report dated April 23rd, 1993. It indicated that all ruiloff from the proposed project would drain into
an existing piped system which drains about 130 acres of the City directly into Puget Sound. This
130 acre basin was discussed in detail by URS Consultants in 198§ in a study prepared for the City
in 1989 titled "Edmonds Drainage Basin Studies". The study indicated that the pipe system affected
by the project would only ever be used at about 65 percent of its "open channel" capacity of 95 cfs.
Also, since upstream elements of this system have a much lower capacity, and a major part of the
basin is already developed without detention, it is highly unlikely that the total excess capacity will
ever be needed for other projects further upstream.
Referring back to the purpose and intent of the drainage code, it is evident that the project will not
expose nearby.land toh . i , gh . e . r .. ru . no : ff*--it Will' actually'reduce the effects on nearby- land.: It will, not
expose private or public property to flo,odm*g,,oreros'1on--as'the doiw`nstream system-ig under utilized.
It will. not adveisel-ly affect th . e ' downstream 6ody--Puget Sbund'has infinite capacity to
receive stormwa'ter.
Bob Alberts
City of Edmonds Page 2
Other jurisdictions recognize the sense of allowing direct discharge to nearby receiving bodies of
water. Both City of Bellevue and King County allow direct discharge of uncontrolled runoff when
the downstream conveyance system is adequate. Other municipalities have similar policies and
exemptions. The DOE Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin requires runoff
volume control specifically and only for " streambank erosion control." It is recognized that each
jurisdiction also has a responsibility to protect conveyance systems, but in this case there is no
capacity problem and no streambank to be eroded or to protect from project impacts.
In light of the above discussion, we are requesting a deviation from the City's customary practice
of mandating detention storage. If this request is denied, we also ask that the denial be in written
form giving reasons as required in section 18.30.040 H of the Edmonds Code. Please let us know
if you require further information on this to reach your decision.

Craig Campbell, P.E.

This letter is a follow up to our conversation on Thursday, February 18th. We discussed the George
Kairez project and the City of Edmonds three party agreement. Following our conversation, I contacted
George and Lovell-Sauerland letting them know that you are expecting a new submittal with the critical
areas identified. Lovell-Sauerland was wanting some input into my scope of services so that I did not only
cover the critical areas, but also items relative to general site development. They have requested a meeting
with me so that I am aware of what they want. Is this a meeting that you need to attend or can this be done
prior to the third party agreement without violating the wishes of the city code? I would appreciate it if you
would respond to this question.
At this time I would also like to further introduce myself and our firm to you. I have been practicing
geotechnical engineering in the Puget Sound region for about 15 years. Eight of those years was with
GeoEngineers, the consultant that did the Meadowdale mapping for the City of Edmonds. I still have
occasional contact with Don Tubbs the primary geologist that worked on the project. I left GeoEngineers
in 1986 and joined a foundation and shoring contractor working primarily on the Metro Tunnel project. In
1989, 1 left the contracting firm and founded Couvrette Geotechnical Engineering. Just recently, I have
joined forces with David L. Nelson and Associates from Monroe. DLNA has been in business for about 15
years.
I have enclosed a few of our business cards for your reference as you will need to contact use when you
develop the scope of work. If you have any questions, please call.
Yours very truly,

Subject: CRITICAL AREAS STUDY SCOPE OF WORK AND PROCESS, FILE NO. CA-92-91
Enclosed is the revised "Scope of Work" for the required Critical Areas Study for your property in which I have
clarified the language which you inquired about. This revised "Scope of Work" will now be incorporated into the
"3-Party" contract for the performance of the Critical Areas Study.
If it is still your desire for us to consider James Finley of Geotech Consultants, Inc. as the consultant to enter in
the 3-party contract with the City to perform the geotechnical portions' of the study please state so, and we will
contact Mr. Finley immediately to begin the process.
With regard to the issue of eagle habitat analysis, as we discussed on the phone, we would be willing to review
any documentation you can provide from Federal and State wildlife authorities on this issue. Upon review of
these documents, we will then re-evaluate the need for the eagle habitat analysis.
Finally, I have also enclosed a draft copy of the "31-Party" contract which we will use in this process. If you
should have any questions regarding the enclosed material or process, please do not hesitate to contact either Rob

describe the items in accordance with ECDC Section 20.15.B. 150.
11B. Paragraph IIB shall be applicable only during the life of this contract. The work of the
Consultant and the critical area study are for the purpose of providing the City with
information and analysis, independent from the Proponent and the owner of the subject
property. To that end, the Consultant shall, during the life of this agreement, perform no
other services for Proponent with respect to the subject property. In addition, the
Consultant shall not perform services for the Proponent with respect to other property or
proposed developments without full disclosure thereof to the City. Proponent specifically
agrees not to communicate with the Consultant, except for such communication as may be
necessary for the Consultant to carry out the performance of this agreement. Any such
communication between the Proponent and Consultant shall be carried on only in the
presence of or with the prior approval of the City.
III. Proponent agrees to pay to Consultant in the manner set forth in Section VII below the
reasonable costs of having the critical area study prepared. The Consultant has been
recommended and selected by the City. Proponent understands and agrees to pay
Consultant for actual time and materials expended in accordance with the scope of services
set forth in Attachment "A" hereto, provided, however, that the total to be received by the
Consultant for preparatio ' n of the critical area study shall not exceed the sum of $
1 . Progress payments are to be issued to Consultant in accordance with the
provisions of Sections VII and IX in this agreement.
IV. The Proponent agrees to cooperate reasonably with both Consultant and the City so as to
cause the efficient and prompt preparation of the critical area study. The City agrees to
make available to the Consultant all relevant information in the City's files.
V. The scope of services contemplated by this agreement shall include preparation of a*critical
area study which. shall be delivered to the City on or before
V1. Consultant shall prepare and deliver to the City up to 5 copies of the critical area study.

Dear Mr. Kairez,
FILE URA M. HALL
MAYOR
On a field visit to your property on August 13, 1992, Don Fiene from
our office indicated that roughly one-half of the area in question is
now vegetated. We still are concerned with the other bare, exposed
areas and the sedimentation impacts these areas would have on the
Sound. We would like to reiterate the concerns and regulations
reflected in our August 7, 1992 letter to you.
Concerning the issue of rototilling, I understand that you were under
the impression that the City regarded this action as grading. This is
not true, and we would like to clear up that misunderstanding. Your
previous action that resulted in the imposition of the Stop Work order
(issued by the Building Division) involvedthe use of a backhoe. )Our
only request.is that if you were to rototill ' you hydroseed promptly
after tilling and provide straw'mulch on all hydroseed areas. Jute or
coir nets shall be used on slopes over fifteen'(15) percent. Please
reference the attachments enclosed for'additional details.

Re: Measures requires to mitigate'erosion hazard
at 9117 Olympic View Drive
Dear Mr. Kairez,
LAURA M. HALL
MAYOR
)iQ, J_,� �-1-7 /? Z--
The Engineering Division has reviewed site conditions on your property
and hereby requests correction of an erosion hazard problem. Temporary
or permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures, as described
below, must be implemented on all disturbed areas.
Temporary or permanent seeding of all disturbed areas is required.
Seeding may be accomplished by sodding. If sod is used, it must be
laid across the slope and pegged where the slope exceeds fifteen
percent. (See attached recommendations.) Hydroseeding may also be
used to reestablish vegetation. If hydroseeding is used, additional
vegetative stabilization techniques will be needed. Jute or coir nets
shall be used on slopes over fifteen percent and within twenty-five
feet above any slope over fifteen percent. Straw mulch needs to be
used on all hydroseeded areas. (See attached guidelines for
application requirements.)
The Edmonds Community Development Code, Chapter 18.30.100, authorizes
the City to order a property owner to take measures to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare from imminent dangers caused by
erosion, flooding, and other drainage related problems. We feel your
situation applies to this code. Please implement temporary or
permanent erosion control ' measures as soon as possible, but not later
than September 15, 1992.
Please contact Jim Walker, Assistant City Engineer, or Don Fiene,
Hydraulics Engineer, at 771-0220, if you have any questions.

MANAGEMENT MANUAL FOR THE PUGET SOUND BASIN DRAFT
11_4.4 TEMPORARY COVER PRACTICES
Code: 8 Symbol:
Definition The'establishment of a temporary vegetative cover on disturbed areas by
seeding with appropriate rapidly growing annual plants.
Purpose
To provide temporary soil stabilization by planting grasses and legumes to areas
which would remain bare for more than 7 days where permanent cover is not necessary
or appropriate.
This Bf4P may, when used properly, help -to fulfil the conditions contained in WAC
173-275-060(2)(a), Stabilization and sediment trapping (see CC-1, section 11-4.2.1
for further information).'
Conditions Where Practice Applies'
Permanent structures are to be installed or extensive re -grading of
the area will occur prior to the establishment of permanent vegetation.
Areaswhich will not be subjected to heavy wear by construction
traffic.
e Areas sloping up to 10% for 100 feet or less.
Advantages
1. This is a ' relatively inexpensive form of erosion control but should only be
used on sites awaiting permanent planting or grading. Those sites should have
permanent measure used (see BMP E1.35, Permanent Seeding and Planting).
2. Vegetation will not only prevent erosion from occurring, but will also trap
sediment in runoff from other parts of the site.
3. Temporary seeding offers fairly rapid protection to exposed areas.
Disadvantages/Problems
1. Temporary seeding is only viable when there is a sufficient window in time for
plants to grow and establish cover. During the establishment period the bare
soil should be protected with mulch (see BMP . E1.15) and/or clear plastic
covering (see BMP E1.20).
2. If sown on ' subsoil, growth will be poor unless heavily fertilized and limed.
Because over -fertilization can cause pollution of stormwater
runoff, other practices such as mulching (BMP E1.15) alone may be more
appropriate. The potential for over -fertilization is an even worse
problem in Sr near aquatic systems.
3. Once seeded,.areas cannot be used for heavy traffic.
4. May require regular irrigation to flourish. Regular irrigation is not
encouraged because of the expense and the potential for erosion in areas
that are not regularly inspected. The use of low maintenance native
species should be encouraged, and planting should be timed to minimize
16 the need for irrigation.

Seeding should be supplied with adequate moisture. Supply water as needed,
especially in abnormally hot or dry weather or on adverse sites. Water
application rates should be controlled to prevent runoff.

in critical areas such as
and these are also used as mulches, particularly
They may be used to hold other mulches -to the 'soil surface.
The Choice Of materials for mulching will be based on the type of Boll to be
protected, alto conditions, season, and economics. It in especially important to
walch liberally in mid -summer and prior to winter, and . on cut slopes and southern
slope exposures.'
Straw - Straw is the mulch most commonly used in conjunction with.seeding. Its use
is recommended where immediate protection is desired and preferably where the need
for protection will be less than 3 months. The straw should come from wheat or
oats, -and may be spread by hand or machine. Straw can be windblown and must be
anchored down. Common anchoring methods are:
1. Crimping, disking, rolling or punching into the soil;
2. Covering with netting;
3. Spraying with a chemical or fiber binder (tackifier); and
4. Keeping moist. Natural precipitation can often provide sufficient moisture.(2)
Corn Stalks - These should be shredded into 4 to 6-ihch lengths. Stalks decompose
slowly and are resistant to windblow.
Wood Chive - Suitable for areas that will not be closely mowed, and around
ornamental plantings. Chips decompose slowly and do not require tacking. They * must
be treated with 12 pounds nitrogen per ton to prevent nutrient deficiency in plants.
Chips can be a very inexpensive mulch if they are obtained from trees cleared on the
site. However, both wood and bark chips tend to wash down slopes of more than
6 percent and create problems by clogging inlet grates etc. and are therefore not
preferred for use in those areas.
Bark Chips, Shr dded Bark - By-products of -timber processing. Used in landscaped
plantings. Bark is also a suitable mulch -for areas planted to grasses and not
closely mowed; may be applied by hand or mechanically. Bark is not usually toxic to
grasses or legumes, and additional nitrogen fertilizer is not required.
Wood Fiber - Used in hydro -seeding operations, applied as part of the slurry. These
short cellulose fibers do not require tacking, although a tacking agent or soil
binders are sometimes -used with wood fiber. This form of mulch does not provide
sufficient protection to erodible soils to be used alone during the severe heat of
summer or for late fall seedings. Wood.fiber hydro -seed slurries may be used to
tack straw mulch. This combination treatment is well suited for steep slopes and
critical areas, and severe climate conditions.
There * are other organic materials which make excellent mulches but are only
available locally or seasonally. Creative use of these materials can reduce costs.
Chemical Mulches and Soil ' Binders - The use of synthetic, spray -on materials (except
tacking agents used with hydro -seeding) is not recommended. A major problem with
their use is the creation of impervious surfaces and, possibly, adverse effects on
water quality.
Nefs and Mats - Used alone, netting does not retain soil moisture or modify soil
temperature. It stabilizes the soil surface while grasses are being established,
and is useful in grassed waterways and on slopes. Light netting may also be used to
hold other mulches in place. Its relatively high cost makes it most suitable for
small sites.
The most critical aspect of installing nets and mats is obtaining firm, continuous

Advantages
Well established grass and ground cover can give an aesthetically pleasing,
finished look to a development.
Disadvantages/Problems
1. Vegetation and mulch cannot prevent soil slippage and erosion if soil is not
inherently stable.
2. Coarse, high grasses that are not mowed can create a fire hazard in some
locales. Mowed,grass, however, provides less stability and sediment filtering
capacity.
3. Grass planted to the edge of a watercourse may . encourage fertilizing and mowing
near the waters edge and increase nutrient and pesticide contamination.

Planning Considerations
Vegetation controls erosion by reducing the velocity and the volume of overland flow
and protecting the bare soil surface from raindrop impact.
Areas which must be stabilized after the land has been disturbed require vegetative
cover. The most common and economical means of establishing this cover is by
seeding grasses and legumes.
Advantages of seeding* over other means'of establishing plants include the small

Tree and shrub planting
Besides their erosion and sediment control values, trees and shrubs also provide
natural beauty and wildlife benefits. When used for the latter, they are usually
more effective when planted in clumps or blocks. These procedures should be
followed:
1. Trees and shrubs will do best in topsoil. If no topsoil is available,
they can be established in subsoil with proper amendment. If trees and
shrubs are to be planted in subsoil, particular attention should be paid
to amending the soil with gene rous amounts of organic matter. Mulches

SUBJECT: FIELD VISIT OF KAIREZ PROPERTY AT 9117 OLYMPIC VIEW DR.
In the late afternoon of August 13, 1992, 1 made a field visit to
inspect the residence of Mr. George Kairez. Jim Roberts accompanied me
on the visit'. The visit was in response to a phone conversation I had
earlier in the afternoon. Mr. Kairez had indicated that the entire
area in question (the stripped area) was now vegetated and that I could
inspect it for myself.
After arriving at the site, Mr. Kairez proceeded to show us the area in
question. He pointed at the areas in question with his video camera
and commentated on the situation. He asked me what the concern was
with the present situation. I observed that there were still bare,
nonvegetated areas that had the potential of causing sedimentation
impacts on the Sound. Mr. Kairez asked me where it was going to go,
and I told.him it wou-Id pass over the cliff and into the Sound. Mr.
Kairez then asked if I knew where the dirt had gone that I had stated
was stripped from the site. I told him it probably went over the
cliff.
Once again, Mr. Kairez had a raised voice throughout the discussion,
although it was certainly toned down in comparison to the telephone
conversation. Jim Roberts tried to calm Mr. Kairez down by stating
that we weren't his enemies and that we just wanted to have the
situation resolved.
Mr. Kairez showed me photographs of the area in question as it looked
years ago. The photos showed the area as being totally covered by
grass. It seemed odd to me that Mr. Kairez thought this was some sort
of positive indictment against the City. I told him that wasn't how
the site looked now, but it looked like a good example of what it
should be.- He stated that the area had run down during the illness of
his father and had been covered with blackberries, so he had pushed
them off (without removing any topsoil) using a backhoe. He said his
aim was to bring the site back to the condition shown in the
photograph. I said that would be fine with me and would satisfy the
condition he -had agreed to on May 29, 1992.
Mr. Kairez stated that he couldn't rototill to prepare the area for
seeding because Dick Mumma had ordered him not to. Mr. Kafrez asked me
if I thought rototilling should be considered grading. I said that I
didn't think it should be. I also told him that I would bring the
entire matter up at the Monday staff meeting.

RE: Phone Conversation of 8/13/92 with George Kairez
DATE: August-2.4,. 1992.
On the -afternoon of -August 13, 1992, 1 received a call from Mr. George-
Kairez. Mr. Kairez called concerning a case that had been ongoing with
the City since May 29, 1992. Mr. Kairez had a -raised voice throughout
our 40 minute telephone conversation. He repeatedly mentioned that he
was going to sue the City, and several persons individually (myself
included), because of the lies he said we had been guilty of in the
course of the case involving his property. Most of his accusations
were directed towards the Planning or Building Divisions, and
repeatedly I had to direct him to the engineering concerns regarding
his property. I told him specifically that my concern as Hydraulics
Engineer was the impacts that his actions observed on May 29, 1992,
(see letter attached) had with regards to erosion and sedimentation.
On our meeting of -May 29, 1992, he had agreed to hydroseed the stripped
area and stated he would do it within the next week. During our phone
conversation, I repeatedly had to tell Mr. Kairez that this was the
only concern I had. Mr. Kairez.continually argued that my estimate of
the stripped area was -preposterous,. I told him it was -an approximation
based on my visit. He stated that no topsoil had been removed, only
dust had covered the existing vegetation, and the blackberries had been
pushed off. I told him that I did not agree with that, and neither had
others from the City who had visited the -sight in -May. Mr. Kairez then
went on to state that if that were true, then why was the area
completely vegetated now, without planting any grass? I told him I did
not know what had transpired in the two and one half months since May
291 1992, but that there had been plenty of time for weeds to establish
or for him to establish grass. I went on to add that on two occasions
we were going to inspect the site, but he had refused to let us look at
his property primarily due to a dispute he had with Dick Mumma of the
Building Department. He went on to say how everyone from the City was
incompetent and used derogatory language throughout the course of
describing various people, including the Mayor. His voice was loud
enough to cause actual physical pain to my ears as I listened on the
phone.
I then tried to get him to focus on his problem with the Engineering
Division. He stated that he could not comply with our requirement of
hydroseeding the site because of the -Stop Work order pl-aced in effect
by Dick Mumma. He said that Dick Mumma had told him he could not
rototill the site in preparation for the seeding. He asked me if I
thought rototilling was grading. I told him I didn't think that it
was, but that was not my call or decision to make. He indicated that
the grass cover that was there now was adequate and that I should take
a look at it. I told him that I would arrange to do so.

SUBJECT: 9117 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE
On August 13, 1992, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Don Fiene engaged in a
lengthy conversation (approximately 40 minutes) with Mr. George Kairez
who resides at 9117 Olympic View Drive, Edmonds. Following the phone
call, Don Fiene reported that Mr. Kairez became very threatening and
angry. Don felt it wise to have another Engineering employee accompany
him for a,follow-up field inspection.
At approximately 3:30 p.m., Don and I drove to the Kairez residence to
investigate the site. Don examined the back yard and concluded that
vegetation was not properly in place on a portion of the back yard
location. Mr. Kairez claimed that the vegetation was missing due to a
tree that was removed in the area. Don reminded Mr. Kairez that he had
stated that the vegetation was in place during the lengthy phone call.
Mr. Kairez became very angry and threatening (law suit). Mr. Kairez
referred to the City staff as a "bunch of bastards" and spoke
especially harsh towards members of the Building and Planning Divisions
and specifically toward Bob Alberts and Mayor Hall.
Mr. Kairez asked me if I thought that the site had been graded. I
responded that it obviously had been graded at some point in time. Mr.
Kairez responded that it was graded over thirty-eight (38) years ago.
Mr. Kairez repeatedly tried to video tape specific portions of his
conversation with us. We tried to explain that we were'not his enemies
and only wanted to be of assistance.
Mr. Kairez presented a copy of a bid he had received from a local
landscaping firm to hydroseed the portion of the back yard in
question. Mr. Kairez stated that orders from Dick Mumma prevented him
from completing this task.
Don Fiene advised Mr. Kairez that the matter would be discussed -during
the next Monday morning Engineering staff meeting. Don advised Mr.
Kairez that a grass surface in the location in question would suffice
as an appropriate surface.
During the entire visi-t to the Kairez residence, the attitude displayed
by Mr. Kairez was extremely hostile, unlike anything I have experienced
in twenty (20) years of service to the general public.
At 4:30 p.m., Don and I left the site for an appointment in the Seaview

Re: Measures requires to mitigate erosion hazard
at 9117 Olympic View Drive
Dear Mr. Kai rez,
LAURA M. HALL
MAYOR
Iq 2--
The Engineering Division has reviewed site conditions on your property
and hereby requests correction of an erosion hazard problem. Temporary
or permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures, as described
below, must be implemented on all disturbed areas.
Temporary or permanent seeding of all disturbed areas is required.
Seeding may be accomplished by sodding. If sod is used, it must be
laid across the slope and pegged where the slope exceeds fifteen
percent. (See attached recommendations.) Hydroseeding may also be
used to reestablish vegetation. If hydroseeding is used, additional
vegetative stabilization techniques will be needed. Jute or coir nets
shall be used on slopes over fifteen percent and within twenty-five
feet above any slope over fifteen percent. Straw mulch needs to be
used on all hydroseeded areas. (See attached guidelines for
application requirements.)
The Edmonds Community Development Code, Chapter 18.30.100, authorizes
the City to order a property owner to take measures to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare from imminent dangers caused by
erosion, flooding, and other drainage related problems. We feel your
situation applies to this code. Please implement temporary or
permanent erosion control measures as soon as possible, but not later
than September 15, 1992.
Please contact Jim Walker, Assistant City Engineer, or Don Fiene,
Hydraulics Engineer, at 771-0220, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
ROBERT J. ALBERTS, P.E.

Code: Symbol:
Definition The'establishment of a temporary vegetative cover on disturbed areas by
seeding with appropriate rapidly growing annual plants.
Puripose
To provide temporary soil stabilization by planting grasses and legumes to areas
which would remain bare for more than 7 days where permanent cover is not necessary
or appropriate.
This SkP may, when used properly, help -to fulfil the conditions contained in WAC
173-275-060(2)(a), Stabilization and xediment trapping (see GC-1, section 11-4.2.1
for further information)."
Conditions Where Practice Applies'
Permanent structures are to be installed or extensive re -grading of
the area will occur prior to the establishment of permanent vegetation.
Areas which will not be subjected to heavy wear by construction
traffic.
Areas sloping up to 10% for 100 feet or less.
Advantages
1. This is a relatively inexpensive form of erosion control but should only be
used on sites awaiting permanent planting or grading. Those sites should have
permanent measure used (see BMP E1.35, Permanent Seeding and Planting).
,2. Vegetation will not only prevent erosion from occurring, but will also trap
sediment in runoff from other parts of the site.
3. Temporary seeding offers fairly rapid protection to exposed areas.
Diaadvantages/Problems
1. Temporary seeding is only viable when there is a sufficient window in time for
plants to grow and establish cover. During -the establishment period.the bare
soil should be protected with mulch (see BMP E1.15) and/or clear plastic
covering (see BMP E1.20).
2. If sown on ' subsoil, growth will be poor unl6is heavily fertilized and limed.
Because over -fertilization can cause pollution of stormwater
runoff, other practices such as mulching (BMP E1.15) alone may be more
appropriate. The potential for over -fertilization is an even worse
problem in or near aquatic systems.
3. Once seeded, areas cannot be used for heavy traffic.
4. May require regular irrigation to flourish. Regular irrigation is not
encouraged because of the expense and the potential for erosion in areas
that are not regularly inspected. The use of low maintenance native
species should be encouraged, and planting should be timed to minimize
the need for irrigation.

and these are also used as mulches, particularly in critical areas such as
Waterways. They may be used to hold other mulches to the soil surface.
The choice of materials for mulching will be based on the type of soil to be
protected, site conditions, -season, and economics. Xt is especially important -to
mulch liberally In mid -summer and prior to winter, and on.cut slopes and southern
slope exposures.
Orcanic Mulches'
Str - Straw is the mulch most co �nly used in conjunction with seeding. its use
in recommended where immediate protection is desired and preferably where the need
for protection will be leas than 3 months. The straw should come from wheat or
oats, and may be spread by hand or machine. Straw can be windblown and must be
anchored down. Common anchoring methods are:
1. Crimping, disking, rolling or punching into the soil;
2. Covering with netting;
3. Spraying with a chemical or fiber binder (tackifier); and
4. Keeping moist. Natural precipitation can often provide sufficient moisture.(2)
Corn Stalks - These should be shredded into 4 to 6-inch lengths. Stalks decompose
slowly and are resistant to windblow.
Wood Chips - Suitable for areas that will not be closely mowed, and around
ornamental plantings. Chips decompose slowly and do not require tacking. They must
be treated with 12 pounds nitrogen per ton to prevent nutrient deficiency in plants.
Chips can be a very inexpensive mulch if they are obtained from trees cleared on the
site. However, both wood and bark chips tend to wash down slopes of more than
6 percent and create problems by clogging inlet grates etc. and.)are therefore not
preferred for use in those areas.
Bark Chips. Shredded Bark - By-products of.timber processing. Used in landscaped
plantings. Bark is also a suitable mulch -for areas planted to grasses and not
closely mowed; may be applied by hand or mechanically. Bark is not usually.toxic to
grasses or legumes, and additional nitrogen fertilizer is not required.
Wood Fiber - Used in hydro -seeding operations, applied as part of the slurry. These
short cellulose fibers do not require tacking, although a*tacking agent or soil
binders are sometimes used with wood fiber. This form of mulch does not provide
sufficient protection to erodible soils to be Used alone during the severe heat of
summer or for late fall seedings. Wood fiber hydro-"ed slurries may be used to
tack straw mulch. This -combination treatment is well suited for steep slopes and
critical areas, and severe climate conditions.
There are other organic materials which make excellent mulches but are only
available locally or seasonally. Creative use of these materials can reduce costs.
Chemical Mulches and Soil Binders - The use of synthetic, spray -on materials (except
tacking agents used with hydro -seeding) is not recommended. A major problem with
their use is the creation of impervious surfaces and, possibly, adverse effects on
water quality.
Nets and Mats - Used alone, netting does not retain soil moisture or modify soil
temperature. It stabilizes the soil surface while grasses are being established,
and is useful in graSBed waterways and on slopes. Light netting may also be used'to
hold other mulches in place. Its relatively high cost makes it most suitable for
small sites.
The most critical aspect of installing nets and mats is obtaining firm, continuous

Advantages
Well established grass and ground cover can give an aesthetically pleasing,

Disadvantages/Problems
1. Vegetation and mulch cannot prevent soil slippage and erosion if soil is not

2. Coarse, high grasses that are not mowed can create a fire hazard in some
locales. Mowed grass, however, provides less stability and sediment filtering
capacity.
3. Grass planted to the edge of a watercourse may encourage fertilizing and mowing

4. May require regular irrigation to establish and maintain.
Planning Considerations
Vegetation controls erosion by reducing the velocity and the volume of overland flow
and protecting the bare soil surface from raindrop impact.
Areas which must be stabilized after the land has been disturbed require vegetative
cover. The most common and economical means of establishing this cover is by
seeding grasses and legumes.
Advantages of seeding over other means of establishing plants include the small
initial establishment cost, the wide variety of grasses and legumes available, low

Wetlands seed mixtures - For newly created wetlands, a biologist should design
plantings to provide the best chance of success. As a guide apply the following
mixture at a rate of 60 lbs/acre, and/or additional tubers for cattail, bulrush,
slough sedge, as required by the local Government. See Chapter 111-5, Volume III
for more information on constructed wetlands. Do not under any circumstances use
introduced, invaeive plants like reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) or purple

Tree and shrub planting
Besides their erosion and sediment control values, trees and shrubs also provide
natural beauty and wildlife benefits. When used for the latter, they are usually
more effective when planted in clumps or blocks. These procedures should be
followed:
1. Trees and shrubs will do best in topsoil. If no topsoil is available,
they can be established in subsoil with proper amendment. If trees and
shrubs are to be planted in subsoil, particular attention should be paid
to amending the soil with generous amounts of organic matter. Mulches
should also be used.

Code: Symbol:
Definition Stabilizing fine -graded disturbed areas by establishing permanent grass
stands with nod.
Puripooe
To establish permanent turf for immediate -erosion protection or to stabilize
drainageways where concentrated overland flow will occur.
This SHP may be used to fulfil the conditions contained in WAC 173-275-060(2)(a),
Stabilization and sediment trapping.
Conditions Where Practice Applies
Disturbed Areas which require immediate vegetative cover.
Waterways carrying intermittent flow, where immediate stabilization or
aesthetics are factors and other locations which are particularly suited to
stabilization with sod.
Advantages
1. Sod will give immediate protection.
2. Sod gives an immediate vegetative cover, which is both effective in checking
erosion and is aesthetically pleasing.
3. Good sod has a high density of 4rowth which is superior in protection to a
recently seeded area.
4. Sod can be placed at any time of the year provided that soil moisture is
adequate and the ground is not frozen.
Disadvantages/Problems
1. Sod is expensive.
2. Sod is heavy and handling costs are high.
3. Good quality sod, free from weed species, may be difficult to obtain.
4. If laid in an unfavorable season, midsummer irrigation may be required. This
also applies to very droughty sandy soils.
5. Grass species in the sod may not be suitable for site conditions.
6. If mowing is required, do not use grass sod on slopes steeper than 3:1 (use
minimum maintenance ground covers).
7. If not anchored or drai'ned properly, sod will "roll up" in graaBed waterways.
Design Criteria
Shape and smooth the surface to final grade in accordance with the approved
grading plan.
Use of topsoil shall be in accordance with the requirements of Topsoiling (BMP
E1.50).

JEFFREY S. WILSON, AICP, CURRENT PLANNING SUPERVISOR
FROM:
JOHN B ISSELL, CODE ENFORCEMENT TECHNICIAN
SUBJECT:
CRITICAL AREAS STUDY FACTS AND CONDITIONS
CA-92-91 Lot located at 9117 Olympic View Drive.
Antonina Kairez has submitted a critical areas checklist for property located at 9117 Olympic View
Drive. The property is mapped as an area of unstable slopes on the Critical Areas Map. A site
inspection of the property revealed steep slopes with a substantial amount of vegetation. Subsequent site
inspections revealed that much of the vegetation was cleared from the slopes without permits.
Therefore a Critical Areas study is required to determine slope stability and mitigating measures to
restore the site. The critical areas study must be conducted by a geotechnical engineer and a wildlife
biologist. The study should present facts, conclusions and mitigating measures for site restoration.
In addition to the required study the applicant is required to follow the conditions listed below:
1. The applicant must provide the City with a grading and clearing plan which conforms to
the recommendations of the required study
2. The applicant must provide the City with a re -vegetation plan which conforms to the
recommendations of the required study
3. The applicant must follow all erosion control measures imposed by the City Engineering
Division which conforms to the recommendations of the required study
4. The applicant may dispose of graded material in an approved manner. The applicant may
not dispose of any graded material by pushing the material over the side of the western
bank.
5. The applicant may not grade any material or remove any vegetation from the side of the
western bank.
If you concur with these conditions, please indicate your concurrence below

REPORT:
On Friday, May 29, 1992, Jim Walker , asst. city engineer, requested I investigate a complaint of illegal grading at 9117
Olympic View Drive he had received by phone. Mr. Walker stated this. site had a history of problems and that the property
owner had been contacted a number of times in attempt to resolve the problems. Before leaving to investigate the
complaint, I contacted John Bissell, City Code Enforcement Technician, about problems he had on the site. Mr. Bissell
informed me he was currently investigating violations of the city's clearing ordinance on that site. Some large trees had
been removed from the site without the necessary permits and clearing had begun, again without the necessary permits. It
seemed Mr. George Kairez, son of the property owners, had contacted the city in October of 1991, requesting information
on "clearing",(When Mr. Kairez was told a permit was necessary before such work could be started, he demanded an
explanation, in writing, for the requirement. Ed Somers, associate planer for the city, responded to Mr. Kairez's request
the following day, explaining why a clearing permit was required Mr. Bissell will file a separate report detailing the
history of enforcement actions on this site.
AT about 10:00 am on May 29, Steve Bullock, Planing intern and I, visited 9117 Olympic View Drive to investigate the
illegal grading complaint. We observed the following;
We.observed three sections of a recently cut tree lying on the right side of the driveway about 50' from the entrance. On
the left side of the drive approximately 30' further in , or 80' total from entrance, we observed the stump of a cut tree
pushed on top of a new cut into the bank adjacent the drive. It appeared the new cut into the bank was made to
accommodate vehicle parking. A "step van" was backed into this new cut. We continued into the site to the home where
we observed a large portion of the "rear yard" had been stripped of all grass and vegetation, exposing bare earth. A "back
hoe" was in operation removing the stumps of recently cut trees. We further observed segments of large trees lying along
the edge of the steep bank on the western boundary of the property. We where then met by a male who identified himself
as Mr. George Kairez, the property owner. I identified my self as the building official for the City of Edmonds and
notified Mr. Kairez we were ordering him to "Stop Work" at once for grading without the required permits. I handed Mr.
Kairez a copy of the "Stop Work" order and posted the order on the site. Mr. Kairez became quit agitated, arguing he
wasn't grading but merrily maintaining his lawn. Mr. Kairez, Steve Bullock and I walked the site while Mr. Kairez
repeatedly agreed he was only doing lawn maintenance. I continue to repeat the city's position that the work he was doing
was grading.
1?// 7 OU6
During our conversation Mr. Kairez conveyed to me his intention to till all of the area that he had cleared and to replant
grass. He also mentioned he intended to push the debris on site over the high slope bank. I told Mr. Kairez that I could not
permit him to push the debris over the bank and asked that he not do that. Mr. Kairez asked if I would allow his back hoe
operator to finish filling the hole he was working on since he was near finished and since Mr. Kairez did not want to have
the operator return at a latter date. I agreed to allow the following work to be completed under the stop work order and
made a point to insure Mr. Kairez understood the extend of the work I would allow;
1. 1 would allow the back hoe operator to fill the hole he had dug to remove the stump, that would required about 30
yards of dirt to fill.
2. 1 would allow two small piles of debris, about 10' in diameter and 6' height, to be moved to the northern end of the
Property where they would be added to an existing larger pile.
3. 1 didn't want any other work done on the site without first obtaining the required permits. I again repeated I didn't
want the larger pile of debris, about 15' in diameter and 12' high, to be pushed over the bank. Mr. Kairez agreed to
the condition and further stated he would come into the office that day to apply for the necessary permits.
On my return to the office I found Mr. Kairez waiting. He filled out the necessary application for permits and supplied us
with plans. We accepted his application and routed it to planning and engineering for review. During the application
process, I asked Don Fiene, Hydraulics engineer for the city, to review the. plot plan and make recommendations on the
need for erosion control. In an attempt to response quickly, Mr. Fiene agreed to follow Mr. Kairez to the site to review the
soil and slope conditions. On their return I spoke with Mr. Fiene. He felt there was enough of a natural vegetation buffer
to control any erosion and therefore didn't require any additional erosion control. I explained to Mr. Kairez the application
would be routed to the planning department for review before the permit could be issued. Mr. Kairez left. About 20
minutes after Mr. Kairez left, staff discovered that a "Critical Areas Review" was necessary for the site. Mr. Kairez was
contacted, and he returned to the office and completed the Critical Areas Checklist.
On arrival at the office -on Monday, June 1, 1992, 1 was advised by staff that complaints had been received regarding work
that had been done on the site over the weekend. John Bissell and I returned to the site to investigate the new complaint.
When we arrived on site we found Mr. Kairez had indeed be working over the weekend. The area cleared and graded had
increase at least twice in size. The grassy buffer zone to prevent erosion was now gone. We witnessed the back hoe
operator in the act of pushing the large pile of debris over the bank. I questioned the operator why he was pushing the pile
over the bank when I had specifically asked that not be done. He responded that he thought we said not to bum the pile. At
this point Mr. Kairez arrived on the scene. I asked why he had done more than we had agreed to and why he had pushed
the debris over the bank after I had asked that he not do so. He responded that he had forgotten to tell the operator not
push the pile over the bank and that the operator didn't know not to. He further stated that he felt he wasn't grading and
was not in violation of the "Stop Work". A heated agreement resulted ending with name calling on Mr. Kairez part and a
promise of a citation by myself. Before leaving I restated the city's position. Grading was being conducted on his site and I
wanted all work to stop until permits were issued.
CONCLUSION:
I believe Mr. Kairez hid knowledge of the cities requirements in this case because he had been contacted on a number of
�Fcasions about tree cutting and clearing and he had a grading application under review. Mr. Kairez was also advised of
the permit requirements and ordered to stop work. It would seem Mr. Kairez choose to complete the work in violation of
the stop work order and without the permits required by the ECDC.
ACTION:
I recommend Mr. Kairez be cited for violation of ECDC Chapter 19.00.000 , UBC §203(d) working when ordered to stop
work and for a second violation of ECDC Chapter 19.00.000, UBC §7003 Grading Permit Required.

From: Dick Mumma, Building Official Ak
Date: June 5, 1992
Subject: Estimate of graded yardage at 9117 Olyview Drive
On Friday, May 29, 1992, while investigating a complaint of illegal grading at 9117 Olympic View Drive
in the City of Edmonds, I observed grading in excess of 50 cubic yards as follows;
Grading of surface area of approximately 3/4 areas to a depth of I to 3 inches that was performed
with a "back hoe" tractor to remove vegetation. An area about 150' x 200' had been cleared to the
north of the residence or about 3/4 areas.
150ft x 200ft x (2/12)ft = 5000 cu. ft. / 27 (convert to cu. yds) = 185 Cu Yds.
2. 1 observed three piles of debris on site, two small and one large. I will only consider the large pile at
the north end of the site. It was about 15' in diameter and 12' high. The area of the base of the pile
is 176 sq. ft., using an average of 6' height the cubic footage would be 1060 cu. ft. / 27 to convert to
cubic yards, the pile would have contained 39 cubic yards
3. 1 also observed excavation of a tree stump that Mr. Kairez calculated himself to be about 30 cubic
yards.
185 + 39 + 30 = 254 cubic yards > 50 cubic yards.
On my return to the site on June 1, 1992, 1 found Mr. Kairez had graded an at least another 3/4 areas or
another 177 yards.

VIA: ROB CHAVE, PLANNING MANAGER
FROM: JOHN BISSELL AICP, CODE ENFORCEMENT TECHNICIAN
SUBJECT: THREE PARTY CONTRACT FOR STUDY OF SLOPE STABILITY ON
. PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9117 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE.
On June 5, 1992 the City of Edmonds issued a citation to George Kairez for clearing and grading without
a permit on the property located at 9117 Olympic View Drive. As Part of enforcement Mr. Kairez was
Muired to obtain a clearing permit for the clearing. Prior to the processing of a clearing permit, a
critical areas study was required to assess the stability of the slope to the west of the subject pro perty,
and any reductions in stability created by the clearing and the pushing of debris over the top of the bank
of the slope, and list any mitigation or repair measures. Section 20. 1513. 150 requires the City, the
Applicant, and the Consultant conducting the study to enter Into a three party contract. In this case the
applicant hired Geotech Consultants to perform the required study without entering Into a three party
contract.
The City believes that the consultant who performed the work was qualified to perform the work. The
City also believes that the information presented in the consultant's report answered the question about
the slope stability. The City understands that the applicant did not enter into the three party contract as
required by code. However, the applicant has been cited and there have been numerous court hearings.
The citation was issued nearly one year before the writing of this memorandum. In addition the property
owner has submitted preliminary plans for subdivision review for a larger parcel which include.,; all of the
property that was originally of concern. This new application will require both critical areas review and
SEPA review. This larger parcel includes all of the property that was originally of concern. Therefore,
due to the extreme amount of time spent on the. enforcement of this case, and the inclusion of the
property In a new development application, the City hereby waives the requirement of the three party
contract and considers the study complete.
The critical areas study does not recommend any nutigations. The clearing work was done over one year
ago, and the grasses and other natural vegetation on the site have brown back. Therefore there is no need
for erosion control mitigation.
Any future work will, be reviewed separately with a new critical areas review.

SUBJECT: CRITICAL AREAS STUDY FACTS AND CONDITIONS
CA-92-91 Lot located at 9117 Olympic View Drive.
Antonina Kairez has submitted a critical areas checklist for property located at 9117 Olympic View
Drive. The property is mapped as an area of unstable slopes on the Critical Areas Map. A site
inspection of the property revealed steep slopes with a substantial amount of vegetation. Subsequent site
inspections revealed that much of the vegetation was cleared from the slopes without permits.
Therefore a Critical Areas study is required to determine slope stability and mitigating measures to
restore the site. The critical areas study must be conducted by a geotechnical engineer and a wildlife
biologist. The study should present facts, conclusions and mitigating measures for site restoration.
In addition to the required study the applicant is required to follow the conditions listed below:
1. The applicant must provide the City with a grading and clearing plan which conforms to
the recommendations of the required study ,
2. The applicant must provide the City with a re -vegetation plan which conforrns to the
recommendations of the required study
3. The applicant must follow all erosion control measures imposed by the City Engineering
Division which conforms to the recommendations of the required study
4. The applicant may dispose of graded material in an approved manner. The applicant may
not dispose of any graded material by pushing the material over the side of the western
bank.
5. The applicant may not grade any material or remove any vegetation from the side of the
western bank.

RE: GEORGE KAIREZ PROPERTY, 9117 OLYMPIC VIEW DR., EDMONDS
AND POTENTIAL BALD EAGLE CONFLICT
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Mr. Kairez asked that I write a letter to you stating my findings concerning the presence of a bald
eagle nest in a tree he wished to cut on his property last year. At the time of my visit, there was no
bald eagle nest that I could see in the tree that Mr. Kairez showed me.
During the time Mr. Kairez was clearing his property, there were several reports from different
homeowners near the above address stating that a bald eagle nest tree had been topped. I cannot
confirm nor deny this claim but can verify that a new bald eagle nest has been built in the very near
vicinity.
If anything, the tree that Mr. Kairez cut was a significant perch tree, as are the remaining dominant
trees in the Edmonds/Woodway area. There was no Bald Eagle Site Management Plan in place at
that time and the tree on Mr. Kairez's property had not been formally designated as protected. A
bald eagle site management plan initiated at the time of permit application when the application falls
within a bald eagle territory would prevent such trees from being cut down or topped. Addresses
and locations of Edmonds bald eagle territories will be forthcoming.
'Mank you for your interest and efforts to protect wildlife habitat. Please feel free to call if you
have any questions at 775-1311 ext. 111.

RE: GEOTECH Job # 92000
George Kairez Property located at 9117 Olympic View Drive, Edmonds
Dear Mr. Finley:
As you may recall, you and I discussed the Kairez property on the phone a couple of weeks ago. In that
conversation I informed you that Mr. Kairez had illegally cleared his property without first obtaining a
critical areas review or a clearing permit. In the process that followed the illegal clearing, it was
discovered that there was a steep bank on the west side of the property over which cleared debris was
pushed. Due to the a history of problems along other areas of this same bank the City became concerned
about possible reductions in stability of the slope due to the illegal clearing. The property owner was
informed of the City's concern, and informed that a critical areas study would be required using a three
party contract to avoid a conflict of interest, as required by the Critical Area Ordinance. With this
information, the property owner contracted your services and avoided the three party contract.
The City has been advised by its legal council that a a study must be conducted according to the
ordinance, even if the property owner has obtained services on his own accord. The study must address
the items in the attached scope of work and must be done through a three party contract. We understand
that it is possible that the work you have done addresses the issues in the scope of work, but that will not
change the need for the study to be completed in accordance with the Critical Areas Ordinance.
I have attached a copy of the three party contract prepared by the City Attorney. Be advised that this
contract is a draft. The Critical Areas Ordinance requires a three party contract, but it does not specify
format. If you have any concerns relating to this contract, please notify us or have your attorneys notify us
of the concerns.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at this office.
Sincerely,
John Bissell

Dear Ms. Rozzano:
I STREET FILE
The Planning and Building Divisions of the City of Edmonds is requesting that you issue a citation to
George P. Kairez (9117 Olympic View Drive, Edmonds, WA 98026; D.O.B. 1/9/53) for grading
without a permit, clearing without a permit, and working after the posting and service of a stop work
order. I have included a report written by me which contains the code sections violated. In addition I
have included copies of reports written by Ed Somers, Associate City Planner, Jim Walker, Assistant
City Engineer, Steve Bullock, Planning Intern, and Dick Mumma, Building Official. These reports
outline the steps that the City Staff has taken to obtain compliance.
In this case, the person having control of the property has made it clear to the Staff that he has no
intention of complying with City regulations. The work he is doing will probably irreparably damage
the land as well as surrounding properties. Therefore I ask that you expedite this case to the fullest
extent possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dick
Mumma at this office.
Sincerely,
John Bissell
City of Edmonds Planning Division.

RE: Conversation on January 21, 1993
Dear Mr. Kairez:
LAURA M. HALL
MAYOR
As we discussed on January 21, 1993, you are required to obtain a clearing permit for any clearing already
done on the site. If you believe that you %,%rill need to do additional clearing in the future, you may also
request that on the same application. The City is in receipt of an application form and two copies of site
plans for this application. The City still requires an adjacent property owners notification list, a
descfipfion of completed work and a description of work to be done as well as a fee of $85.00. If you plan
to do any work in addition to the work indicated on the site plan already submitted to the City, you will
need to provide the City -%vith an updated site plan.
In addition to the clearing permit, you need to complete the critical areas study. On December 30, 1992
Jeffrey Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor sent a letter to you stating what you need to do to complete
your critical areas study. I understand that you were waiting for a response from Robert Chave, Planning
Manager, but Mr. Chave delegated the responsibility to Mr. Wilson. Therefore the letter sent to you by
Mr. Wilson ig the answer you needed. In the possibility that you did not receive the letter sent to you by
Mr. Wilson, I have included a copy with this letter.
I hope this letter clarifies the City rcq�uirenient to bring your property into compliance. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at this office.
Sincerely
John Bissell, AIC0-
