Site Description
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site contains and is
adjacent to critical areas, specifically Erosion Hazard Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.80 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
The site is currently developed with an overflow parking lot and a single family residence.
Landscaping consist of several native evergreen and deciduous volunteer trees, patches of
grass, and Himalayan blackberry. Soils on the site are identified as Alderwood Urban Land
Complex (2-8% slopes).
The associated LiDAR map indicates that site sits along a gradual east -facing slope that runs
from Highway 99 to Lake Ballinger. Portions of the site contain slopes that exceed 15-percent
and meet the definition of Erosion Hazard. The steepest portion of the site occurs at the
northeast corner, just beyond the property boundary. While this slope exceeds a 40-percent
slope, it does not have a vertical rise of 10 feet or greater; therefore, it does not meet the
definition of Landslide Hazard.
What does this mean?
The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area
or its buffer. Any development on this site will require an erosion control plan.
What is an "Alteration'?
According to Section 23.40.005 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC):
"Alteration" means any human -induced action which
changes the existing conditions of a critical area or its
buffer. Alterations include, but are not limited to:
grading, filling; dredging; draining; channelizing;
cutting, pruning, limbing or topping, clearing, relocating
or removing vegetation; applying herbicides or
pesticides or any hazardous or toxic substance;
discharging pollutants; paving, construction,
application of gravel; modifying for surface water
management purposes; or any other human activity
that changes the existing landforms, vegetation,
hydrology, wildlife or wildlife habitat value of critical
areas.
