RE: Lot 2, Meadowdale Heights
Dear Ms. Nelson:
[��tnd R-StO
LAURA M. HALL
MAYOR
I have received the topographical map of lot 2, Meadowdalc Heights prepared by Albert Chcnowcth, along
with your letter requesting the City to determine if there is a critical area due t6'slopc on the property. A
review of the map shows many areas over 30% slope with the maximum elevation gain within the slope
area of 16 feet. Section 20.15B. 120(E)(5) of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) states
that "Steep slopes of 30% or greater but with a vertical change of 20 feet or less may be exempted from
the provisions of this section based on City Staff review of a report prepared by licensed geologists, or
geotechnical engineer which demonstrates that no adverse impacts will result from the proposed action."
Also ECDC section 19.05 requires a geotechnical report to accompany a building pem-dt for slopes greater
than 15%. Therefore a geo!ectical report will be required with any building permit application on this
site. If the geotechnical report shows that the site can be developed with no adverse impacts to the subject
property or the surroundings properties, the site will be deemed not to be a critical area.
Your letter asked if there will be any variances required for site development. If the geotectical report
shows that the site is not a critical area, no critical area variance will be required for site development.
Other variances may be required if the proposed development can not meet other code requirements such
as height, setbacks, driveway slope and so on.
I hope this letter answers your questions. I will be out of town for three weeks from May 2, through May
20. 1 have briefed Ann Bullis on the property. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact her at
771-0220.
Sincerely,
