RE: BLD-2009-0065 Scott’s Bar & Grill (Second Review)
Dear Mr. Craddock,
parking lot8115 Lake
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a at
Ballinger WayCG
in the zone. I have reviewed the above application for the Planning Division
and have found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be
addressed before my review can continue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.

Please provide a written response to the items mentioned below
1.Parcel Aggregation Required:
Lot Line Adjustment application is in for review, thank
you…
2.Administrative Design Review Required:
In for review – will complete with next round of
review as landscaping plan will surely change…
3.Retaining Wall Height:
Please confirm that the northern retaining wall will remain under
three feet in height as measured from the top of the wall to the original grade. The note on
the site plan indicates that the wall height is 3.76’ and the civil plans on sheet C2.1 don’t
indicate the height above original grade. Please make this information clear on the site plan.
4.Landscaping Plan Required:
Please revise landscape plan for compliance with ECDC
20.13. The addition of new landscaping will alter your site/civil plans – please adjust them
1
Please also redline your plans to reflect any changes – or, if you are submitting new plans, please submit three
site plans (one must be reduced size) and two sets of the changed pages of the plans. Please make all submittals to
the Development Services Permit Coordinator (Theresa Umbaugh) All code citations can be found on the City of
Edmonds website: www.ci.edmonds.wa.us.

accordingly. The landscaping plan consists of mostly shrubs – more trees are required in
order to meet the landscaping “types” in ECDC 20.13.030.
a.Arborist Report:
Please submit the arborist report that outlines the reasons for the tree
removal and provides for a replanting plan. Where else on site, besides this northern
area, can replacement trees be planted? The arborist report should provide arguments in
support of the overall proposed site re-design.
b.Right-of-Way:
The landscaping plan appears to show tree removal and planting off site
within the right-of-way. Required Landscaping must remain on site. If you wish to
propose tree removal within the right-of-way, please contact the Public Works
Department (Tod Moles, 425.771.0235).
c.Type III:
“Type III” landscaping is required along the northern property line pursuant to
ECDC 20.13.030.C. Please review this section and revise accordingly. Please also make
sure that you’re providing enough plantings on site within the property lines.
d.Type II:
“Type II” landscaping is required along the east and west property lines. No
landscaping is shown along the east property line behind the dumpster, and the
landscaping along the west property line needs to be brought into conformance with
ECDC 20.13.030.B. Additional tree plantings are required the length of the property
lines. It looks like you’re intending to provide a row of Portugal Laurel along a portion
of the western property line, but additional trees are required as well to meet the
definition of “Type II.”
e.Type V:
ECDC 20.13.030.E.2 requires landscaping islands – is this what you’re
proposing along the north building elevation?
f.North Elevation:
Building walls are to be softened by landscaping per ECDC
20.13.025.A – it doesn’t appear that enough trees are shown.
Sincerely,
Gina Coccia
Associate Planner
