Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO COMPLETE YOUR
COMMUNICATION CABINET APPLICATION - FILE BLD2007-0345
Dear Mr. Kehres:
Your application for construction of a communication cabinet and the associated cement pad,
vault, and ducts is under review. However, we are unable to continue processing your
application until we receive further information as noted below.
The minimum setback from the street shall be 20 feet.
1)
16.80.030
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Site development standards states:
A.Minimum Setbacks. A minimum landscaped setback of 20 feet shall be maintained
from a public street or other property lines except that a setback of 25 feet maintained
from adjacent residentially zoned properties, for all structures, structured play areas
and structured athletic fields. This setback shall be fully landscaped.
Landscaping is required.
2)
It would not be necessary to screen the north face of the cabinet. However, half of the length of
the sides and south (street-facing) elevation require landscaping material. For your project, it
appears that medium size shrubs would affect sufficient screening of the communications
cabinet. Medium shrubs are defined as those three and one-half to six feet tall at maturity. Note
that the minimum size of medium shrubs at installation shall be eighteen inches (18”) and the
maximum spacing of medium shrubs shall be four and one-half feet (4.5’) on center. Planting
beds shall be a minimum of four feet in width. Additionally, groundcover is required in all
planting bed areas as follows:
one gallon 30 inches on center
four-inch pots 24 inches on center
two and one-quarter-inch pots 15 inches on center
rooted cuttings 12 inches on center
Landscape Plans
We require three sets of landscaping plans drawn to a scale of 1" = 20' or larger (e.g., 1" = 10',
etc.) and one reduced copy (8.5”x 11”) for the project. The plan should include a bar scale for
reference and the submittal must include the following information:
Name and address or location of the project;
North arrow and date of the plan;
All property lines, as well as abutting streets and driveways;
All plant material identified on a plant schedule by botanical (genus, species and variety)
and common name; and
Locations, quantities, sizes, and spacing of individual shrubs to be planted.
The landscaped area will not be required to be irrigated.
Please submit the above information as soon as possible, so that your application may be
processed in an expedient manner. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
425.771.0220, extension 1223 or via e-mail at pansa@ci.edmonds.wa.us.
Sincerely,
Martha Pansa
Senior Planner
