CRA19990237City of Edmonds �A 006 Critical Areas Determination P Applicant: Anita Armour Determination #: CA-99-237 Project Name: N/A Permit Number: N/A Site Location: 9106 Olympic View Dr Property Tax Acct #: 182704-2-006-005 Project Description: None provided Determination: Study Required Based upon a field visit to your home and information here at City Hall, there appears to be a slope in front of the house (west side) that may qualify as a Steep Slope Critical Area. Prior to making application for development activity near this area, a more detailed analysis of the site must be provided. If the activity will not be located in or around the suspected critical area, please refer to the section in bold below. Steep Slope Hazard Area Delineation Requirements To determine the extent of a Steep Slope Hazard Area, a topographic survey of the property, prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor must be obtained. Any slope of 40% or more, with at least 20 feet of vertical rise will be classified as a Steep Slope Hazard Area. From the toe or top of the Steep Slope Hazard Area, a 50-foot buffer plus a 15-foot building setback is required. The survey is to confirm the presence of a Critical Area and locate the buffer and building setback as mandated by ECDC Chapter 20.15B. For development of any kind that is proposed within the, 50-foot buffer, the 15-foot building setback, or critical area itself, the following options may apply: A licensed geologist or geotechnical engineer may provide evidence to demonstrate that a buffer alteration down to 10 feet plus a 15-foot buffer setback will have no adverse impact upon the site, the public or any private party. This effectively reduces the requirement from a total of 65 feet from the top or toe or slope down to 25 feet. A geotechnical analysis of the site and statements regarding the setback reduction and lack of adverse impact on the public is required prior to any development permit application. 2. If development must occur within the critical area, buffer and/or setback and is not identified as an exception, a variance or Reasonable Use Exception and variance pursuant to ECDC Section 20.15B. may be possible. If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel would not impact the Critical Area located on the site, they may submit their proposal to the Planning Division for review. If the Planning Division finds that the proposed development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Area or its buffers, a conditional waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
