Dear Mr. Beddow:
I have reviewed your resubmittal dated December 10, 2007 for the above building permit application
for the Planning Division, and it was found that the following information, corrections, or
clarifications will need to be addressed before review can continue:
Vehicular Access Easement:Still need.
1. It was noted that you added a label for the access
drive; however, please show the limits of the shared access easement (i.e. label and show the
outer limits of the shared access easement with a dashed line). It is still unclear how far to the
east and south the boundaries of this access easement extend. If the shared easement extends
further south onto the subject property than the edge of the shared driveway, please provide an
updated setback distance from the southernmost boundary of the access easement to the
proposed addition to ensure that the addition will meet the minimum required 10-foot setback
from the edge of the easement.
Height Calculations:
2. It was noted that you updated your height calculations with your
resubmittal on December 10, 2007. However, it appears that there was an error in labeling the
topography lines. There is no topography line for 222’; therefore, it appears that the line
labeled as 224’ should actually be 222’ since the adjacent topography line to the west is part of
the 220’ line. Please update your topography lines, the elevations of Points B and C, and your
height calculations accordingly.
Critical Areas:Still need.
3. Upon reviewing City topographical information and conducting a
site visit on November 16, 2007, it was determined that the subject property contains slopes that
are steep enough to be considered Landslide Hazard and Erosion Hazard Areas near both the
western and eastern property lines. Please refer to the enclosed updated critical areas
determination. Since the site contains a Landslide Hazard Area, please submit a report by a
qualified geotechnical engineer meeting the requirements of Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) 23.40 and 23.80 in order to show that the proposed additions will
not be detrimental to the stability of the slope near the eastern property line. Since the additions
are both on the eastern side of the existing residence, the geotechnical report is not required to
address the slope along the western property line. The geotechnical report must provide a
recommended reduced buffer and building setback from the toe of the slope along the eastern
portion of the property, which must also be shown on your site plan.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday,
excluding Wednesdays between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact
me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
Jen Machuga, Planner
