Subject: COMPLETE APPLICATION, CLARIFICATION REQUESTED — 3 -LOT SHORT PLAT AT 8723
MAIN STREET (PLN -2011-0015)
Dear Don,
Thanl< you for submitting the required documentation and application fees for the above -referenced
permit; your application is complete according to ECDC 20.02.003. However, while the application is
technically complete, additional clarification is required. Please address all comments in a written
response and by providing updated plans, as appropriate:
Geotech report. The geotechnical report submitted for the short plat from Lui and Associates,
Inc. dated February 24, 2011, does not satisfy the report requirements found in ECDC Chapters
23.40 and 23.80. Specifically, Section 23.80.050 identifies what a report must include and
Sections 23.80.060 - 070 identify development standards that must be met. ECDC
23.80.070.A.3 and 4 describe alterations to a erosion or landslide hazard area and applicable
design standards for such development. Please have your engineer update the report to ensure
it complies with the specific code criteria or peer review will be required.
Street trees. The Edmonds Street Tree Plan calls for the inclusion of street trees along the
frontage of Main Street -Five Corners (pg 123). The tree indicated for Main Street is the Prunus
serrulcrto'Kwansan'/Kwansan Flowering Cherry. Planting procedures and size requirements are
identified on pages 125-127. Since the eastern driveway and rockery are proposed to be
eliminated (as are those existing trees near the Main Street frontage), please update the
preliminary development plan to show three of the Kwansan street trees within the existing
landscape strip using 3' tree grates. A copy of the 2010 update to the Street Tree Plan is
attached.
3. Engineering comments. Please address the comments from the Engineering Division dated
May 27, 2011 (attached).
Please keep in mind that a complete response to this information request must be received within
90 days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.D).
