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).. 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 assistant staff in completing their preliminary assessment of the site. An applicant, or his/or representative, must fill out the checklist, sign and date it, and submit it to the City. _ 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). .

Determination #: CA-01-001 Project Name: Permit Number: Site Location: 9207 Olympic View Dr. Property Tax Acct #: 1327 031 01,00070 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, Erosion Hazard Area and a Wetland/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 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: 1. 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.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 20.1513, a Reasonable Use Exception and Variance must be obtained pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.170A 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. Erosion Hazard Area The site is also in an area designated on the Critical Areas inventory as Slopes with Erosion Potential. All proposed development must have an erosion control plan approved by the City of Edmonds Engineering Department. Wetland/Stream A Critical Areas Study is required to determine the hydrology of the area and to delineate the approximate boundaries of any wetland or stream and identify its buffers. The required qualified critical areas consultant needled to perform the study shall be a specialist in botany; fisheries, wetland biology, and/or hydrology with 'a minimum of two years' field experience with wetlands and/or streams in the Pacific Northwest. All critical areas studies shall be performed as three party agreements with the city selecting the consultant and the property owner or applicant • paying the fees. The qualified critical areas consultant shall perform the following: Classification of the stream and/or wetland pursuant to the criteria established in ECDC Section 20.15B.060(A)(4) and (5). 2. Delineate the edge of the stream and/or wetland on the site. 3. State any mitigating measures appropriate to preserving and protecting the stream and/or wetland. After the qualified critical areas consultant has delineated the stream and/or wetland boundary, a surveyor licensed by the State of Washington must perform the following: 1. Physically mark the edge of the wetland. 2. Delineate the required buffer (see ECDC 20.15B.120.A and 20.15B.130.C). 3.. Delineate the required building setback from the buffer (required setback is 15 feet). 4. Create a map showing the wetland, the buffer and the building setback. Both the qualified critical areas consultant and the Land Surveyor shall enter into a three party contract with the applicant and the City of Edmonds as required in ECDC 20.15B.140(D), where • the applicant pays for the study. The applicant may suggest qualified professionals for the City's approval. 6 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.170A 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.
