RE: Completeness Review
Submittal Package for Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area
th
Larsen Residence 15729 75 Place West
Edmonds, Washington
This technical memorandum provides our assessment of the completeness of the permit submittal
package submitted to the City of Edmonds (City) for the Larsen Residence within the Earth Subsidence
and Landslide Hazard Area (ESLHA) of North Edmonds. This completeness review was accomplished in
accordance with Task Order No. 18-01 -Call Geotechnical and Environmental
Engineering Services Agreement with the City.
The completeness review performed by Landau Associates is not intended to be a thorough review of
the permit submittal package; instead, it is intended to be a cursory review to assess whether the
submittal appears to contain the necessary information in order to complete a geotechnical peer
review in accordance with Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapter 19.10. As a guide
in assessing the completeness of the permit submittal package for the Larsen Residence, we referred
to the ESLHA Permit Submittal Checklist provided by the City.
Our cursory review did not identify any missing items that are required under ECDC 19.10. Of course,
once the more detailed geotechnical peer review is underway, there may be specific items within the
submitted documents that need to be clarified or addressed in order to complete the geotechnical
peer review.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this completeness review and when you are
ready for us to commence our geotechnical peer review.
