RE: PLAN CHECK # 2008-0240
WESTGATE ELEMENTARY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
TH
9601 220 ST SW
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above building permit
application. Please submit the following:
Geotechnical Engineer’s Report. In 1995 a Critical Areas Determination was
done for the site, resulting in a ‘Waiver’ from additional requirements. Critical
Areas include streams, wetlands, wildlife habitat, erosion and landslide hazard
areas. In 1995 no critical areas existed on the site, so no additional information
was required. Since that time the Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC) has been revised. A landslide hazard area is now defined as >40% slope
(rise/run) with an elevation of 10+ feet. The sloped area in the SW corner of the
site plan appears to be a landslide hazard area as defined by ECDC 23.80.020B2.
In order to receive approval for the proposal, please submit a ‘Hazard Analysis’
from a geotechnical engineer. The report must demonstrate 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. Refer to ECDC 23.80.070A2.
Please make sure the report responds specifically to the 3 items above. Submit 3
copies at least one with an original stamp and signature. I will go ahead and issue
SEPA. This will not delay SEPA review.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me at 425.771.0220 ext 1223.
