RE: Planning Division Comments for Building Permit # BLD-2008-0062 (2 Review)
nd
Thomas Fagan Grading Permit | 9201 232 Street SW (RS-8 Zone)
Dear Applicant,
I have re-reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found that
the following information will need to be addressed before review can continue:
1.Addendum to Geotechnical Report:
First of all, thank you for the speedy resub! The Critical Areas
Determination for the Fagnan site is “study required.” The Valhalla site was not considered a critical
area back when Meg issued her determinations and“waivers” were issued. So, the geotechnical report
that was submitted for Valhalla is great and really thorough, but it doesn’t specifically address the
geologically hazardous areas criteria found in chapter 23 (which is what I need to look at to complete
my review). All I need is a verybriefone page addendum called a “hazards analysis” to the
Kleinfelder geotechnical report dated November 21, 2007 (Project No. 88601) that certifies that the
requirements of ECDC 23.80.070.A.2 can be met with the Fagnan proposal (BLD-2008-0062). I’d be
happy to speak with someone at Kleinfelder West, Inc. if they have any questions about what I need
in order to sign off on this permit, just have them call/email me. Basically, it boils down to this…
The Fagnan property is on/adjacent to a steep slope geologically hazardous area. In order to make an
alteration to the slope and its buffer, a “hazards analysis” must be submitted per the below code
section. The following three items must be certified by the geotechnical engineer of record:
ECDC 20.80.070.A.2.
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;
Thank you for your cooperation. Please provide a written response to the above-mentioned items.
Please make all submittals to the Development Services Permit Coordinator (Marie Harrison)
Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm (except Wednesdays). I am the Planner assigned to this project,
and I look forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me at (425) 771-0220, extension 1778, or at coccia@ci.edmonds.wa.us.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS
