Pertinent Background Information
Meadowdale Beach County Park is located at 6026 156th Street SW, Edmonds, Washington 98036.
The Park's main access is an earthen trail from the upper parking lot, accessed from 156th Street SW.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access is provided from 75th Place W in Edmonds. The 108-
acre Park consists of several parcels and is owned by Snohomish County with Snohomish County
Parks and Recreation as the custodial operator. The park extends from the rim of Lund's Gulch down
to tidelands at the northern end of Browns Bay on Puget Sound.
Snohomish County Parks and Recreation conducted a feasibility analysis and alternatives evaluation
in 2015 to develop a preferred conceptual design plan to address beach access, flooding,
maintenance, and fish barrier issues associated with sediment deposition within the 6-foot-wide
culvert for Lund's Gulch Creek under the BNSF railroad at Meadowdale Beach County Park. The
feasibility study addressed public safety issues involving the existing railroad crossintmproving
ADA access to the beach, and improving habitat conditions for salmon in the lower creek and creek
delta. The feasibility study included completion of numerous scientific and engineering studies and a
significant stakeholder review process, providing several opportunities throughout the process for
the community, local organizations and municipalities, tribes, permitting agencies, and BNSF to
provide input and comment. Separate meetings were held with BNSF and appropriate permitting
agencies to review the preferred alternative, which is now under design.
The proposed Meadowdale Beach Park and Estuary Restoration Design Project is intended to
address beach access, flooding, maintenance, and fish barrier issues associated with sediment
deposition within the 6-foot-wide culvert for Lund's Gulch Creek under the BNSF railroad at
Meadowdale Beach County Park. There arublic safety and ADA access issues involving the existing
railroad crossing, and there is a need to improve habitat conditions for salmon in the lower creek
and delta. The project would include replacement of the culvert with a bridge, restoration and
enhancement of the stream and estuary, and'improvements to park facilities. City of Edmonds staff
have attended stakeholder meetings and the City has been involved in the planning efforts to date. A
Development Review Meeting is requested at this time to further discuss the project, including
coordination of the necessary permits and approvals.

Development Review Meeting
List of Questions Regarding Proposed Project
As shown on the Existing Conditions figure, the majority of the project lies within Snohomish County,
with a portion of the project falling within the City of Edmonds jurisdiction. Habitat restoration and
pedestrian access improvements that are planned within the park would occur within Edmonds city
limits. In addition, some improvements to the access road (75th Place West) would also occur within
the City of Edmonds. These improvements include roadway stabilization/addition of retaining walls
and resurfacing.
We would like to review the following topics and questions:
1. Review elements of the project that could occur within the City of Edmonds
2. Confirm the necessary permits and approvals:
- State Environmental Policy Act process coordination; confirm ability for City to adopt the
County's SEPA decision
- Shorelines and Critical Areas; confirm materials prepared for Snohomish County will meet
City's needs, or determine need additional information/site review
Grading, fill, and excavation -°.°.�
- Retaining walls .., ,,,. ,.. . J 1 1e*-,
- Haul road access
- Are there other approvals that need to be considered?
- Is there additional information on the necessary materials and expectations from the City
for the various permit applications?
3. Confirm stormwater approach and plan for coordination with utilities
4. Discuss the anticipated project schedule and confirm the anticipated permitting timeframe for
the City
