The tree in question is a Douglas Fir tree positioned on the west side of John Goodmans' home, located at 18420 Olympic View Dr in the city of Edmonds. This tree has two fractures in the trunk of the tree, noticeable from the outside of the tree. The bark and cambium have separated because of the fracture. NW Arbor care has done several windsail reductions throughout many years. Upon inspection of the tree last year, the fractures were noticed. In my professional opinion, this tree is a hazard and dangerous tree that needs to be removed. If you have any questions, Please give me a call.

Iti:j• rli :1 liaii;� October 3, 2008 HWA Project No. P2008-000 T038 Patricia Gordon -Goodman 18420 Olympic View Drive Edmonds, Washington 98020 Subject: GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION OF A STEEP SLOPE CRITICAL AREA Proposed Deck Resurfacing Gordon -Goodman Residence Edmonds, Washington Dear Ms. Gordon -Goodman; As requested, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) has undertaken a limited and cursory geotechnical evaluation of your residence at 18420 Olympic View Drive in Edmonds, Washington. We understand that you desire to re -surface your existing deck with a thermoplastic composite product manufactured by AZEK Decking, and you desire to replace the existing handrails around your deck. You indicated that the deck substructure would remain un-altered. The existing deck surface is painted wood decking. The majority of the deck is about 3 or 4 feet above the ground surface. The subject house is situated near the crest of a steep slope that is approximately 100 feet high, above the BNSF railroad and Puget Sound to the west. You provided us with a copy of the Critical Areas Reconnaissance Report, prepared by City Planner Kernan Lien on September 10; 2008. The City considers the slope an erosion hazard area, and possibly a landslide hazard area. Any work on your property that requires a City pen -nit inust address appropriate sections of ECDC (Edmonds Community Development Code) sections 23.40 and 23.80. You indicated that Mr. Lien referred you to City Development Information Packet #B21, which states, "For single fancily residences, a per snit is required for the construction, repair, replacenzelct, relocation, addition, or alteration of decks that are greater than 30 inches above grade." Strict application of this language on your proposed project resulted in a determination that a permit is required. In our opinion, because you are not planning any structural alteration of your deck, requiring a permit seems over -reaching and goes beyond the spirit and intent of the code. If a homeowner wanted to re -paint her deck, or apply self-adhesive 19730 - 64th Avenue W. anti-skid strips to the stair treads, would such activities be considered "repair" .suite 200 and subject to a permit? Or in other words, how is repair defined? For this Lynmvood, WA 98036.5957 RECEIVED Tel: 425.774.0106 OCT 9 Far: 425.774.2714 F t 2010 www.hNvageo.com DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CT�g. - CITY OF EDMONDS October 3, 2008 HWA Project No. P2008-000 T038 reason, we suggest that you seek clarification and/or a waiver of the deck permit requirement. That issue notwithstanding, this letter report is intended to satisfy the City's requirement for geotechnical engineering evaluation of the project in the context of ECDC 23.40 and 23.80. General Geology Geologic mapping for the subject sites indicates that the subject house and bluff are underlain by Vashon glacial till and advance outwash. Both of these geologic units were over -ridden by a few thousand feet of glacial ice. Un-weathered and un-disturbed glacial till and advance outwash exhibits very high shear strength. Previous Geotechnical Study in Project Vicinity HWA is the geotechnical engineer for BNSF and Sound Transit on Segments A and B of the Seattle to Everett Commuter Rail Project. In 2005, we advanced an exploratory boring at the base of the subject slope on the east side of the BNSF mainline, within a couple hundred feet of the Gordon - Goodman property. At that location, our boring encountered a veneer of about 7'/Z feet of loosened/weathered silty sand (colluvium); overlying dense to very dense clean to silty sand (un- weathered native advance glacial outwash), which extended down below sea level. Observations at the Crest of the Slope and Below the Deck The ground surface below the deck and extending an average of about 10 feet west of the deck is a relatively flat, well -maintained landscaping area. Beyond this area, the ground surface slopes steeply down toward the BNSF railroad. The undersigned geotechnical engineer did not observe any tension cracks, leaning hedges or trees, or other signs of recent or potentially inuninent slope movement in the area observed. There was no evidence of any uncontrolled surface water erosion runoff, and there was no evidence that yard clippings or other debris were being disposed onto the slope. A very brief inspection of the deck substructure was undertaken. The deck joists appear to be extensions of the floor joists in the house. Much of the deck is supported on cantilevered floor joists extending west from the house. However, in the main enlarged area of the deck, that was built up around an existing large coniferous (fir or similar) tree, there are a few 4x4 posts on concrete piers bearing on the level ground below the deck. Slope Stability The core of the slope below the house is composed of dense granular material, and deep-seated landsliding is extremely unlikely. 2008-000 T038 Gordon Goodman Deck vl 2 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC. October 3, 2008 HWA Project No. P2008-000 T038 However, due.to season freeze/thaw and wetting/drying cycles, gopher and mountain beaver burrows, -plant rooting, and other natural factors, the surface of the slope will weather and weaken over time. The depth of weathering will typically be limited to within a few feet of the slope surface. A potential exists for shallow surficial sliding of the weakened and eroded native soils. These slopes and bluffs will normally be stable for years or decades until an extreme period of wet weather, earthquake, and/or other destabilizing influence causes a shallow skin slide. An example of this was the winter 1996/1997 rain -on -snow event where several shallow skin slides originating on bluffs, causing extensive property damage to properties situated below the slides. Over a period of several decades, experience has shown that dense granular, ocean -facing bluffs in the Puget Sound region, such as the slope below your house, exhibit an average rate bluff retreat of about 2 to 4 inches per year. Your house and deck posts are set back approximately 10 feet or more from the crest of the very steep slope. Therefore, in our opinion, the house and deck are not currently at risk of damage from shallow skin sliding. As the property owners, you are obviously invested in taking measures to keep the subject slope stable. Such measures include: • Eliminating any and all uncontrolled surface water runoff from flowing toward the slope; • tight lining all roof downspout runoff away from the slope; and • not dumping yard clippings or any other debris onto the slope. Conclusions and Recommendations No Impacts to Subject or Adjacent Property: As we understand, the proposed deck modifications involve replacing existing wood decking with composite plastic decking material, and replacing the existing wooden handrails with stainless steel cables. The existing deck substructure would remain intact without modification. Because the existing deck will -not be enlarged and the existing sub -structure will not be modified, the proposed, resurfacing and hand rail replacement will result in insignificant changes to the deck pier and house foundation loads. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed deck alterations will have no impact the stability of the slope and all adjacent properties. Project May Be Exempt of Critical Area Requirements: From our review of ECDC 23.40.230, subsection C(2), your proposed deck project is probably exempt of the City's Critical Area requirements. This subsection states that an exemption applies in the following situation: "Operation, maintenance, or repair of existing structures, infrastructure improvements, utilities, public or private roads, dikes, levees, or drainage systems that do not require construction permits, if the activity does not further alter or increase the impact to, or encroach further within, the critical area buffet- and there is no increased risk to life or property as a result of the proposed operation, maintenance, or repair. " We recommend, therefore, that you meet with the City Planner and request an exemption from any further Critical Areas review or permit requirements. 2008-000 T038 Gordon Goodman Deck A 3 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC. October 3, 2008 HWA Project No. P2008-000 T038 Limitations This report was prepared exclusively for Patricia Gordon -Goodman, for specific application to this project and purpose. Our scope of work included a visual assessment and review of existing geotechnical information. Exploratory borings or other intrusive testing on the subject property may indicate other conditions that are not apparent in a visual inspection. The interpretations in this report should not be construed as our warranty of the subsurface conditions. Experience has shown that soil and ground water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. If, during future site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those described herein, HWA should be notified for review of the recommendations of this letter report, and revision of such if necessary. The scope of work did not include environmental assessments or evaluations regarding the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous substances in the soil, surface water, or ground water at this site. We appreciate the opportunity to provide geotechnical engineering services.
