Dear Ms. Lambert,
Itemized below is our response to the review comments in the November 4, 2016 letter for the above
referenced project. Our response appears in bold.
GENERAL
4. 11/4/16 - Notes and chain link fence were shown on the plans; however, per construction of Phase I, it
would appear that there will be a need to utilize the ROW on 2"d Ave.
a. Please provide a construction schedule and note the approx. time that the ROW will need to
be used on 2nd Ave.
Construction schedule to be provided by developer. 2"d Ave parking lane and sidewalk to
be closed approximately 12 months (noted on C2.1 and CS.3 plan). Main Street sidewalk
will be closed approximately 4 months.
b. Please show the limits of disruption on 2nd so that disruption fees can be calculated.
Added to C2.1
c. Please revise the notes accordingly on the plans.
Notes revised on plans.
5. 11/4/16 —Comment was addressed; however, was gas actually located on the west side of 2"d Ave. I
believe that was discovered during construction of Phase 1. Please verify and revise the plans as needed.
Architectural/landscape plans updated accordingly.
L1.0.1— LANDSCAPE PLAN
5. 11/4/16 —Comment was addressed; however, the following needs to be corrected.
a. The location shown for the utilities do not match the Civils. Revise the plans accordingly.
b. Is the existing water meter to be abandoned? If it isn't there is conflict with the proposed
tree location. Revise the plans accordingly.
Utility lines have been shifted to the north to match the civil drawings. A note has been
added to see C4.1 for more information. The existing water meter will be abandoned.

6. Please revise the note 'Hanging basket pole — choice of pole style TBD' to reference the attached detail. A
detail has been attached for the hanging basket; however, please remove the City of Edmonds border
from this detail.
Hanging basket pole note has been revised to reference city provided detail. City of Edmonds border
has been removed from the detail. This detail has been added to sheet L3.01.
It appears as though landscaping is placed such that it will block the fire department connections. Please
revise accordingly.
Landscaping has been removed from fire department connection area. A note has been added to see
C4.1.
SHORING PLANS
3. A bond will be required for the shoring as required during Phase L.
A bond will be provided by the developer
Additional Comment —11 4 1
6. What do the dash lines represent along Main St. (SH2.0)? If they are ground anchors, why do they differ
in location than the anchors along the alley?
a. The soil anchors along the alley are shown in between the soldier piles; however the
anchors on Main St. are in alignment with the soldier pile.
The anchors on Main Street are attached directly to the soldier piles but those in the alley
are attached to walers per the elevation on SH3.1. Has to do with limited ROW in the alley
b. If they are anchors, how far will the anchor go into Main St?
Horizontal projection of the anchors is 28.2 feet.
SHEET C2.1— DEMOLITION & TESC PLAN
3. 11/4/16 — Comment was not addressed. 7/28/16 Comment: Disruption fees will be charged for closure of
the sidewalk, alley, and/or parking areas beyond 72 hours. Please indicate proposed areas of closure and
the estimated duration of closure.
Added to notes, and on C2.1 and C5.3 plans.
SHEET C3.1— GRADING & DRAINAGE
2. 11/4/16 — See the picture below. It does not appear that the storm system was installed per plans. Please
advise accordingly.
See attached drainage letter recommending small adjustment to the flow control structure following
the detention pipes to adequately restrict the flow to meet City of Edmonds standards.
