NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 9007 196 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:
Geotech Letter
1.. In order to reduce the required 50’ buffer from the top of slope
down to 10’. A letter must be submitted by a licensed geotechnical engineer
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.
Site Plan
2.. Revise the site plan as listed below. Submit 3 copies.
Top of Slope
a.. Revise the location of the top of slope to correspond with
the recorded short plat map. As it is currently located on the site plan, it
has been moved slightly westward.
10’ Buffercorrect
b.. Revise the 10’ buffer to be measured from the top of
slope line.
15’ Building Setback
c.
. The 15’ building setback should be measured from
the 10’ buffer line; i.e. it should be 25’ from the top of slope. It presently
is not labeled on the site plan.
Covered Porches.
d. The covered porches at the rear and front of the house
must be labeled as ‘covered.’
Datum Point.
e. The datum point elevation does not appear to correspond
to the existing topography. Make the changes are noted in the corrections
for Jenny Readwin.
Height Calculations.
f. Please label points A, B, C, and D on the site plan;
and put a dot where each is located.Note that the height calculations
rectangle must include the covered porch at the rear of the house. It
doesn’t appear to include it as submitted.
Lot Area.
g. The site plan lists the lot area as 13,488 sq ft. The correct lot
area per the recorded short plat map is 13,388 sq ft (gross) and 12,000 sq
ft (net). Use the net area to calculate lot coverage.
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
