ILIZW 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: Melody R. Carlos Determination #: CA-99-244
Project Name: Permit Number:
Site Location: 15515 — 75`h Place W. and Property Tax Acct #: 5009 000 00101 &
lot to the north 5009 000 004 06
Project Description:
Non -Project Specific
Determination: Study Required:
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site appears to
contain and/or is adjacent to a number of critical areas, including a Steep Slope Hazard
Area, Landslide Hazard Area, and a Wildlife Habitat area 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 Slone Hazard Area Delineation Requirements:
To determine if a Steep Slope Hazard Area does exist, 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 the slope. 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:
For development proposals which will occur within the 50-foot buffer, but no
closer than 10 feet from the top or toe of 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, except those done by a licensed geotechnical
engineer, must be completed 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.150).
• 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.180A and
20.15B.040C.
Landslide Hazard Area
All proposed development of the subject lot must meet the requirements of Chapter
19.05 (Building Permits - Earth Subsidence and Landslide) of the Edmonds Community
Development Code. Note that building permits within the Meadowdale Landslide
Hazard Area require more detailed information than is normally required, which is
detailed in the Meadowdale Earth Subsidence Packet.
Wildlife Habitat
The northern half of the northern lot is designated as a Wildlife Habitat on our Critical
Areas Map. The City defers administration and enforcement of wildlife habitat to the
appropriate state and federal agencies.
If the results of the Critical Areas Study determine that the lot may not be developed,
the applicant may apply for a Reasonable Use Exception and Variance pursuant to
• ECDC 20.15B.180A and 20.15B.040C).
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.
