ADDITION TO SHORELINE WIDE SHOES 7621 244 ST SW
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above building permit
application. Please respond to the following items, so that I can complete my review:
Reduced Site Plan
1.. Please submit at least one copy of a reduced site plan – letter
or legal sized at the scale of 1 inch = 20 feet. Submit 3 copies of the site plan
total. Only one needs to be reduced copy.
Grading Calculations
2.. The application appears to be missing the grading
calculations. I just need to confirm that the grading will not exceed 500 cubic
yards. It appears that is unlikely, but if it will, an environmental (SEPA) checklist
will be required. You can obtain a copy at our office. There will be an additional
$420 fee for the review.
Height Calculations.
3. Please make the following revisions:
NE Corner.
a. For the height calculations, the NE corner (elevation 144.02)
must be moved northward to make a complete rectangle.
Maximum and Actual Elevations.
b. On the site plan, please note the
maximum elevation and the actual elevation of the proposed addition.
Elevation Views.
c. Please label the average grade, actual elevation, and
maximum elevation on the elevation views. Submit 2 revised copies of
page A-3.1.
Geotechnical Report.
4. Please have the geotechnical engineer identify the top of
slope on the site plan and the required buffer. The required buffer from the top of
slope is 65 feet (50-foot buffer + 15-foot building setback). The addition may be
located within the buffer area, but the geotechnical engineer must submit a letter
demonstrating ONE of the following:
a.Edmonds Community Development Code 23.80.070A1b. Buffer
Reduction. The buffer may be reduced to a minimum of 10 feet \[+15-foot
building setback\] when a qualified professional demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the director that the reduction will adequately protect the
proposed development, adjacent developments and uses and the subject
critical area. \[‘Subject critical area’ refers to the slope.\]
b.Edmonds Community Development Code 23.80.070A2. Alterations.
Alterations of an erosion or landslide hazard area and/or buffer may only
occur for activities for which a hazards analysis is submitted and certifies
that: (a) The development will not increase surface water discharge or
sedimentation to adjacent properties beyond predevelopment conditions;
(b) The development will not decrease slope stability on adjacent
properties; and (c) Such alterations will not adversely impact other critical
areas.
Submit 3 copies of the geotechnical letter/addendum.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday
through Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If you have any questions,
feel free to contact me at 425.771.0220 ext 1223. I work a part-time schedule. If I
am not available, please ask to speak with the planner on duty.
