CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
Site Location: 204 7"' Ave North Tax Acct. Number: 00734208603500
Determination: STUDY REQUIRED Determination #: CRA-2009-75
Applicant: Mark Ganter Owner: Mark Ganter
CRITICAL AREAS DETERMINATION: STUDY REQUIRED (CRA20090075)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain (or be adjacent to)
Geologically Hazardous Areas (Landslide Hazard Area), pursuant to Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC). Geologically hazardous areas include areas susceptible to
erosion, land sliding, earthquake, or other geological events. They pose a threat to the health and safety
of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of significant hazard. Such incompatible
development may not only place itself at risk, but also may increase the hazard to surrounding
development and use.
The LiDAR map (attached) indicates that there are steep slopes of approximately 52% across the eastern
portion of the property e
See map for approximate contours, Projects proposed further than 65' from the top or toe of
the slope (50' buffer + 15' setback from the critical area) will not require a geotechnical report to address
critical areas issues (of course, other departments may require a report to address their codes, depending
on the scope of work proposed).
GENERAL CRITICAL AREAS REPORT REQUIREMENTS
Critical Areas Reports identify, classify and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject property
that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess these areas and identify any potential impacts
resulting from your specific development proposal, If a specific development proposal results in an
alteration to a critical area the critical areas report will also contain a mitigation plan. You have the
option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and delineates the critical areas and waiting
until you have a specific development proposal to complete the study. You may also choose submit the
entire study with your specific development application.
Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas which are listed in
ECDC 23,40,090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical areas (see
below),
Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the
ordinance, There are options on how to complete a critical areas study and an approved list of
consultants that you may choose from, You may contact the Planning Division for more information.
Page I of 2
0 General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in ECDC 23.40.110 through
23.40.140.
STUDY REOUIREMENT — LANDSLEDE HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains or is adjacent to a Landslide Hazard Area.
• A Landslide Hazard Area is any area with a slope of forty percent (40%) or steeper and with a
vertical relief of ten (10) or more feet (except areas composed of consolidated bedrock).
• Landslide Hazard Areas are further defined and illustrated in ECDC 23.80.020.13.
• In addition to thegeneral requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific Critical
Area report requirements for Landslide Hazard Areas are provided in ECDC 23.80.050.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH LANDSLIDE ELAZARD AREAS
Development is restricted within a Landslide Hazard Area and its buffer.
• Projects that will intrude into these areas will require a report by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer.
• The criteria that are applied depend on the amount that the buffer is reduced.
• The buffer can be reduced to a minimum of ten (10) feet (with an additional 15' building setback per
ECDC 23.40.280) if a report is prepared that meets the standards listed in ECDC 23.80.050). The
alteration must also meet the requirements listed ECDC 23.80.060.
• In addition, proposals to reduce the buffer to less than ten (10) feet must comply with the design
standards listed in ECDC 23.80.070.A.3.
ALLOWED ACTIVITIES
Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.20. If you have
any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed activity, please contact a
Planner for more information.
* EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements (ECDC 23.40.230). If
you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more information.
