Subject: Letter of Completeness and Request of Additional Information
Woodway Court Four -Lot Short Plat Application 4 PLN20150001
Mr. Pierce,
On behalf of the City of Edmonds Planning Division, I have reviewed the application for a 4 -lot Short
Plat at 23920 —104'11 Avenue West for completeness pursuant to Edmonds Community Development
Code (ECDC) 20.02.002 and 20.75.040. The City has determined that the application meets the
procedural submission requirements and therefore is complete. Please accept this letter as the City's
notice to applicant of determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003. While the application
is procedurally complete, additional information and clarifications are needed for continued review of the
application. Please respond to the following so review of this application can proceed:
1. Access is currently shown off the emergency access road adjacent to the southern property line.
It has been determined that this access road is on a private tract of property owned by the City of
Edmonds. Resolution No. 1005 was passed by the City Council in 2001 limiting the use of this
tract to established private access, utility maintenance, and emergency access. With Resolution
No. 1005 in effect, the proposed lots cannot take access from this tract of land.
Recognizing issues with Resolution 1005 as they apply to the current application and potential
development on the adjacent property to the west, staff is flagging the issue for City Council
consideration. Currently, the City Council is scheduled to discuss Resolution No. 1005 at their
March 10, 2015 Council meeting. We will keep you informed of any Council action regarding
Resolution No. 1005.
We discussed various access options at our January 27, 2015 meeting. With Resolution No. 1005
in effect, access to all lots must be taken from 104''' Avenue West. Please revise plans to show
access to all lots from 104°1 Avenue West. Access easements to 3-4 lots shall be 20 ft. in width
with 16 ft. paved. Please note that a turnaround may be required for fire apparatus where three or
more dwellings are served by an access easement or tract.
2. The setbacks shown on the preliminary short plat are incorrect. The subject property is located in
the RS -8 zone which has setbacks of 25 feet from street property lines, 7.5 feet from side property
lines, and 15 feet from the rear. Please revise the setbacks on the preliminary short plat (and
development plan as necessary with the revision of access to the proposed development) to be
consistent with the RS -8 setbacks.
There has been an application submitted for a new single family residence that would be located
on the proposed Lot 1 being reviewed under permit number BLD20141294. If the short plat
proposal is changed to include an access easement or tract on the south side of the development,
setbacks for Lot 1 would be 25 feet from the property line along 104`x' Avenue West, 7.5 feet from
the northern and southern property lines (or from the access easement) and 15 feet from the
western property line. As shown the preliminary plat and preliminary development plans, the
proposed residence would be approximately 8 feet from the western property line of Lot 1 and
thus not compliant with the setbacks for the RS -8 zone. Either the proposed single-family or
short plat will have to be revised so the residence on Lot 1 complies with setbacks.
A stormwater report was not submitted with this application. Please submit full infiltration rate
report (See requirements in the Stormwater Supplement Appendix Q. Plans do not call out total
new impervious surface, however since the new impervious surface will exceed 5000 sf and the
site is less than an acre in size, the project would be classified as a Category 2 Small Site Project
(Supplement 5.0). All infiltration systems (or other stormwater mitigation techniques) shall be
designed by an engineer.
4. Show the location of proposed underground dry utility lines.
5. Please include inverts for sewer at proposed structures, lot lines, property line and connection to
main to verify that the required 2% fall can be attained. Please contact Olympic View Water
Sewer District for sewer main information.
6. Please show the actual size of the infiltration trenches to verify utility separation etc. can be
attained. Provide invert elevations at catch basins. Add stormwater mitigation for access road to
plans.
7. Please call out the distance from the property line to nearest hydrant or if required by the fire
marshal, please add hydrant to plan.
According to ECDC 20.02.003.D, the above requested information must be submitted within 90 days (or
by May 12, 2015) or the application will expire.
Since the application has been determined to be complete, a notice of application will be posted on the
subject property and mailed to adjacent property owners within the next two weeks consistent with ECDC
20.03.002.
