AGENDA
SM-2-79 JOHN JONES Application for Shoreline Management Substantial'Develo nt
Permit or the property located at 7511 Lake Ballinger Way (RSW-12).
Commissioner Walker asked the City Attorney whether she should be excused
from this hearing as she lives at 23102 75th W. in the Lake Ballinger area.
He advised her that would not be necessary. Ms. Block advised that any
action within 200' of the shoreline other than construction of a single
family dwelling and certain limited maintenance or construction projects
requires a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit. Because
the applicant is subdividing this property and one of the lines between two
lots is within 200' of the shoreline, the permit is required. This is a 4-
lot subdivision but only two of the lots are affected by being within 200,
of Lake Ballinger. There is adequate area for the lots and this development
is consistent.with surrounding development in the area. The surrounding
zoning is RSW-12 to the north and south and RS-8 to the west, with Lake
Ballinger being to the east. The -Shoreline Master Program Designation is
urban. An environmental checklist was submitted by the applicant which was
reviewed by the Staff, and a negative declaration was issued. SEPA require-
ments had been met. Slides of the site and a plot plan were 'shown. Ms.
Block recommended approval because it was in conformance with the requirements
and designations of the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan, the Edmonds Shorelines
Master Program, and the local subdivision regulations, and because it was
consistent with surrounding uses in the area. The public portion of the
hearing was opened. Robert Boye of 24325 76th Ave. W., owner of the lot
directly to the north of this, said he had reviewed the subdivision plan and
found it very favorable. The public portion of the hearing was then
closed. Commissioner LaBelle said he saw no particular problem with this
