RE: Planning Division comments for file BLD20120304 -- Chilelli Deck Replacement
Greetings,
th
Avenue West in the
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a deck replacement at 16508 76
RS-12 zone. I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found that
the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before the Planning Division
review can continue.
1.Deck Footprint: Please clarify that there is no proposed change to the footprint of the existing deck.
2.Critical Areas / Geotechnical Report: As you are aware, there is a steep slope on your property. Steep slopes
are a type of critical area (geologically hazardous area). Projects proposed on or near steep slopes, such as
this, require a geotechnical report to ensure that the critical areas (steep slope) are not adversely impacted.
We have a title in our code “Title 23 – Natural Resources” and chapters 23.40 (Environmentally Critical Areas
General Provisions) and chapter 23.80 (Geologically Hazardous Areas) of this title are applicable to your
project. Your geotechnical engineer will need to review ECDC 23.80.070.A.2 and ECDC 23.80.040.A.3 and
submit a report describing how the proposed deck replacement will meet these requirements of our critical
areas ordinaice.
3.Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area (ESLHA): Please be aware that this property is located within the
mapped ESLHA, which may trigger other building permit requirements. Your permit coordinator
(425.771.0220) would be able to tell you if any additional requirements are applicable.
Please submit a written response to the above, along with any revised plans to your Permit Coordinator: Linda
Thornquist. All code citations can be found at: www.EdmondsWA.gov. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
