PERMIT COUNTER
—Itw 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).
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

Critical Areas Determination
Applicant: Anita Armour Determination #: CA-99-237
Project Name: N/A Permit Number: N/A
Site Location: L91
06 Olympic View Dr Property Tax Acct #: 1182704-2-006-005
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.
