Subject: Development Review Committee Meeting — 7621 Lake Ballinger Way
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of a 12,560 SF commercial property zoned BC along
Lake Ballinger Way. Our goal is to provide a multi -tenant commercial building in lieu of the older existing
single -tenant building while providing both site improvements and easier access to and from Lake
Ballinger Way. A significant portion of the north end of the property contains a steep slope (landslide
hazard) as well as a sewer easement. Our intent for this meeting is to determine the best economic use
of the property within the parameters defined by the municipal and building codes.
In preparation for the above referenced meeting we have the following specific questions/comments for
discussion:
Development in Hazard Area: What is the feasibility and criteria for development within the
defined hazard area? ECDC 23.80.070 Development Standards indicates that construction within
these hazard areas is possible if the building meets the criteria outlined in section A.4. We would
like to clarify how these apply to the proposed building and site.
Geotechnical: A geotechnical study was conducted for this property in 2006. This report
included borings at the top and bottom of the hazard area and indicates that the "north facing
slope of the property ... appears to be stable". The report also details parameters and
recommendations for construction. Would these qualify as the "design standards" required to
meet the section referenced above?
3. Easement: The subject property contains a sewer easement with the City of Edmonds. Does this
easement restrict development of the property on or within a set distance of this easement? Or
is development simply restricted not to materially affect the use of this easement by the city?
4. Setbacks: The subject property is zoned BC and is adjacent to BC and BN zoned properties.
According to ECDC 16.50.020 Site Development Standards, Table A, the side and rear yard
setback are defined as "none". We would like to confirm this interpretation. Additionally are
there additional setback requirements within the hazard area insofar as the potential impact to
adjacent poperties/buildings?
5. SEPA Review: What are the specific thresholds for SEPA review for development of a
commercial building on this site? WAC 197-11-800.1.a.iv seems to provide for an exemption
except for "construction of an office, school, commercial, recreational, service or storage
building with 4,000 square feet of gross floor area". Would a commercial building under 4,000
square feet, therefore, be exempt from SEPA review? Are there any other triggers that would
require SEPA review?
Thank you for your review and consideration.
