t[W CRITICAL AREAS CHECKLIST
The Critical Areas Checklist contained on this form is
to be filled out by any person preparing a
Development Permit Application for the City of
Edmonds prior to his/her submittal of a development
permit to the City.
The purpose of the Checklist is to enable City staff to
determine whether any potential Critical Areas are, or
may be, present on the subject property. The
information needed to complete the Checklist should
be easily available from observations of the site or
data available at City Hall (Critical Areas inventories,
maps, or soil surveys).
RECEIVED. .

PERMIT COUNTER
An applicant, or his/her representative, must fill out
the checklist, sign and date it, and submit it to the
City. The City will review the checklist, make a
precursory site visit, and make a determination of the
subsequent steps necessary to complete a development
permit application.
Please submit a vicinity map along with the signed
copy of this form to assist City staff in finding and
locating the specific piece of property described on
this form. In addition, the applicant shall include
other pertinent information (e.g., site plan, topography
map, etc.) or studies in conjunction with this Checklist
to assist staff in completing their preliminary
assessment of the site
I have completed the attached Critical Areas Checklist and attest that the answers provided are factual, to the
best of my knowledge (fill out the appropriate column below). _

Critical Areas Determination
Applicant: Ghedrghe Madalina Determination #: CA-99-64
Project Name: Permit Number:
Site Location: 18105 Sunset Way Property Tax Acct #: 1827 042 035 00
Project Description
Non -Project Specific
Determination: Study Required:
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site contains and/or is
adjacent to a Steep Slope Hazard Area and a Class 3 stream pursuant to Chapter 20.15B of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
Based on these findings, prior to submission of any development permit, you will be required
satisfy the requirements of ECDC 20.15B by completing the following:
Steep Slope Hazard Area Delineation Requirements:
To determine the extent of the Steep Slope Hazard Area, a topographic survey prepared by a
Licensed Land Surveyor delineating Steep Slope Hazard Areas must be completed. Any slope
of 40% or more with at least 20 feet of rise will be classified as a Steep Slope Hazard Area.
A 50-foot buffer is required from both the top and toe of a Steep Slope Hazard Area. A 15-
foot building setback is required from the 50-foot buffer.
For development of any kind which is proposed within the critical area, 50-foot buffer or 15-
foot buffer setback, it must be shown that the development will not adversely impact the
Critical Area or its buffer, by doing one or possibly both of the following depending on the
outcome of the study:
1. For development proposals which will occur within the 50-foot buffe r, but no closer
than 25 feet from the top or toe or the slope, the 50-foot buffer requirement may be
reduced to 10 feet if a study is completed by a licensed geologist or geotechnical
engineer which clearly demonstrates that the proposed buffer alteration will have no
adverse impact upon the site, the public or any private party. All Critical Area Studies
must be completed by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer (as defined in ECDC
20.15B.020.Y) or under a three party contract where the City hires the professional
required, and the applicant pays for the study (pursuant to ECDC Section 20.15B.140).
2. If development must occur within the critical area, buffer, and/or buffer setback, and is
not identified as an exception per ECDC Chapter 20.15B, a Reasonable Use Exception
and Variance must be obtained pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.170A and 20.15B.040C).
Stream Delineation Requirements:
Submit a survey prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor delineating the top of the stream bank,
required 10-foot buffer, and 15-foot setback to any proposed development. This stream flows
into Puget Sound, therefore, the applicant must contact the Department of Fish & Wildlife,
have them review the site and submit a letter determining the impacts of development on this
site and, if necessary, recommend mitigation measures to ensure protection of the
habitat/stream.
There is also a drain line on the west side property line. This is being considered a surface
water runoff device, so there is no buffer required. However, no structures can be built on
utility easements: Please check with the Engineering Division or Public Works Department if
you have questions about the utility easements.
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel
would not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal to
the Planning Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the proposed
development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Areas or its buffers, a conditional
waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
