Number: 4776 000 053 00 Determination: Study Required Determination #: CA-03-43 Applicant: Dean Read Architects Owner: David & Julie Clubes CRITICAL AREAS DETERMINATION: STUDY REQUIRED (CA-03-43) During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain or be adjacent to a Steep Slope Hazard Area, pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.15B.060A3c. A Critical Areas Study will be required to delineate the boundaries of the critical area, buffers, and setbacks. STUDY REQUIREMENT — STEEP SLOPE HAZARD AREA Prior to submission of any development permit, you will be required satisfy the requirements of the Critical Areas Chapter 20.15B by completing the following Steep Slope Hazard Area Delineation Requirements: 1. A topographic survey must be prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor to delineate any Steep Slope Hazard Areas. A steep slope hazard areas is defined by ECDC 20.15B.060 as ground that rises at an inclination of 40% or greater within at least 20 feet of elevation change. In order to delineate a steep slope hazard area, it is necessary to locate the top and toe of the slope. The inclination of the slope is established by averaging the inclination over at least 20 feet of vertical relief. A 50 foot wide buffer plus a 15-foot building setback will be required from both the top and the toe of the steep slope hazard area. Refer to ECDC 20.15B.080C and 20.15B.110A. 2. In order to complete the Study Requirement, a map must be submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ON A SITE WITH STEEP SLOPE HAZARD AREAS Development is restricted within the Steep Slope Hazard Area, its buffer, and/or building setback. If development must occur within these areas, the applicant may pursue certain processes provided in the Critical Areas Chapter of the Edmonds Community Development Code. The applicable process depends on the specific development proposal and site but may include one of the following: Buffer Reduction. For development proposals within 65-feet (50-foot buffer plus 15-foot building setback), but no closer than 25 feet (10-foot buffer plus a 15-foot building setback) 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. The study must clearly demonstrate that the proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon the site, the public, or any private party. Essentially, development could be allowed as close as 25 feet from the top or toe of the slope. The 15-foot building setback always applies no matter how much the buffer is reduced. Refer to ECDC 20.15B.110A. Steep Slope Exemption, Critical Areas Variance, or Reasonable Use Exception. Development proposals closer than 25 feet from the top or toe of the slope may be allowed through the approval of a steep slope exception, critical areas variance, and/or a reasonable use exception. These Land Use Permits that must be obtained through the Planning Division. Refer to ECDC 20.15B.110D2, 20.1513170A, and 20.15B.040C. PROJECT SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL WAIVERS 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 Area or its buffers, a conditional waiver may be issued on a project by project basis. EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements. Refer to ECDC 20.1513.040.

Planning Division has reviewed the survey by Lovell-Sauerland & Associates, Inc.,' 5/30/2003 that was submitted to satisfy the requirement for a Critical Areas Study on your property at 7425 Olympic View Dr. The survey designates the top and toe of a Steep Slope Hazard Area on a portion of the property, to the east of the house. However, it does not indicate the westward extent of the Steep Slope Hazard Area. It appears that the Steep Slope Hazard Area continues to the north and northwest of the house. The toe of the slope would seemingly be as indicated by the handwritten note by staff on the attached portion of the survey. However, the surveyor may be able to provide additional information that more accurately delineates the slope. The critical areas study will not be considered to be complete unless additional information is received from the surveyor that establishes the full extent of the Steep Slope Hazard Area on the property.

City planning staff shall defer administration and enforcement of fish and wildlife habitat area protection measures to the appropriate state or federal agency responsible for administering said protection measures. Development in these areas shall be in accordance with the requirements of the underlying zone and any overlapping critical areas classification. [Ord. 3087 § 2, 1996]. 20.1513.100 Development standards — Frequently flooded areas. Standards for frequently flooded areas shall meet the requirements of Chapter 19.97 ECDC, Flood plain management. [Ord. 3087 § 2, 1996]. 20.15B.110 Development standards — Geologically hazardous areas. A. Buffers. Buffers for geologically hazard- ous areas shall be 50 feet in width, they shall be maintained with their native vegetation, and where appropriate, be placed within a critical areas tract. This 50-foot buffer requirement may be reduced to 10 feet by the director or his/her designee upon review of critical areas study prepared pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.140 (A) by a licensed geotechnical engineer or geologist which clearly demonstrates that the proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon the site, the public or any private party. "Adverse impact" shall include but not be limited to a decrease in site stability • as defined in Chapter 19.05 ECDC. Such report shall be certified in a form suitable for filing with the Snohomish County recorder and gen- erally comply with the provisions of this chap- ter as well as the geotechnical report require- ments of Chapter 19.05 ECDC. Staff approval or disapproval of proposed buffer reductions shall be subject to appeal pursuant to the pro- visions of ECDC 20.105.010(A)(4). B. Erosion Hazard Areas. Alterations within the identified erosion hazard areas shall not be authorized without an approved erosion control plan pursuant to Chapter 18.30 ECDC, which includes staged clearing, where appro- priate. Clearing or disruption of the soils within an erosion hazard area shall be kept at the min- imum necessary to provide reasonable use of the site. C. Landslide Hazard Areas. Landslide haz- ard areas located on slopes less than 40 percent shall only be approved to be altered if both of the following provisions are met: 1. Proposed development will not de- crease slope stability on any adjacent property; and _ 2. The landslide hazard. to the project and adjacent property is eliminated or miti- gated such that the proposed development on the site is certified as stable by a licensed pro- fessional geologist or geotechnical engineer. Any landslide hazard area and its buffer which combined are greater than the one acre in size shall be placed in critical areas tract for any proposed master plan development, subdi- vision, short subdivision, or planned residen- tial development, ' pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.160. Where alterations are authorized, city staff shall determine whether the remain- ing portion(s) of the landslide area shall be placed within critical areas tract. Landslide areas located on slopes greater than 40 percent shall be regulated pursuant to subsection D of this section. D. Steep Slope Hazard Areas. No develop- ment or alteration shall be allowed in steep slope hazard areas unless the property is exempt under the provisions of this section or ECDC 20.15B.040, a reasonable use exception has been granted, or a variance has been granted pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.170(A). 1. The development or alteration is one of the following exempt activities: a. Surface water conveyance de- signed to the best available technical standard, such as the Stormwater Management Manual, approved by the city. Installation shall utilize the best available technology to minimize dis- turbance to the slope, soils and vegetation; 40 (Revised 11/00) 20-36 Edmonds Community Development Code 20.1513.110 �41 b. Trails construction designed to the best available technical standard approved by the city. Technical standards are provided in the U.S. Forest Service "Trails Management Handbook" (FSH 2309.18, 1987) and "Stan- dard Specifications for Construction of Trails" (EM-7720-102,1984). In no case shall trails be constructed of impervious materials which would contribute to surface water runoff, unless such materials are necessary to provide for soil stabilization or erosion control, and trail design assures that surface water runoff will not increase or contribute to erosion and sedimentation; c. Utility construction by private or public proponents may be allowed; provided, that city staff determined upon review of a crit- ical areas study that the proposed alteration shall not subject the steep slope to the risk of landslide or erosion; d. Trimming and limbing of vegeta- tion on steep slopes may be allowed if a clear- ing plan is provided for review and approval by the city; and provided, that the soils within the steep slope area are not disturbed to subject the area to the risk of erosion. Clearing shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.45 ECDC. 2. The development or alteration may be exempted if it meets the following criteria: a. The proposed development will not decrease stability on any adjacent property, and the site following the permitted activity will be stable within the meaning of Chapter 19.05 ECDC, as demonstrated by engineering analysis meeting requirements of the State Building Code as adopted by this code. b. The development will occur on steep slope areas that either: i. Are mapped as one of the fol- lowing deposits on the "Geologic Map of the Edmonds East and part of the Edmonds West Quadrangles", by James P. Minard (Depart- ment of the Interior, United States Geological Survey, 1983, Map MF-1541): Till, Advance Outwash, and/or Olympia Gravel; or 20-37 ii. Are comprised of fill which was placed under engineered conditions on stable geologic deposits listed in subsection (D)(2)(b)(i) of this section; provided, that the fill meets the following conditions; all fill was placed under a legal grading permit, the grad- ing and fill were designed by a licensed profes- sional engineer, native soils beneath the fill were prepared in accordance with the engi- neering design, and compaction testing con- firms that uniform compaction to the specified percentage is present throughout the entire fill. c. All excavations on steep slopes shall not extend below a 35-degree plane ex- tended down from the property lines, unless the excavation is retained by structural shor- ing. The shoring must be designed by a regis- tered professional engineer. d. All retaining structures on steep slopes shall be engineered structures conform- ing to the State Building Code as adopted by this code; rockeries are not permitted greater than four feet in height. e. Steep slope areas cannot be altered if one or more of the following conditions are present on or adjacent to the portion of the sub- ject property classified as a steep slope; imper- meable soils interbedded with granular soils, springs or groundwater seepage, significant visible evidence of groundwater seepage, pre- vious landsliding or instability, or existing landslide deposits. "On or adjacent to" includes those areas upslope and downslope of the steep slope, within a horizontal distance from the toe or top of the slope equal to two times the vertical height of the steep slope. f. Steep slope areas (greater than 40 percent) cannot be altered if the thickness of organics, debris, weathered soils, collovial soils or soils exhibiting loose conditions (as measured by the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM D1586) method of sampling) on or adjacent to the portion of the subject property classified as a steep slope exceeds three feet. g. For Commercial Development. A buffer of 15 feet shall be retained in an undis- (Revised 11/00) r 20.15B.120 turbed condition, measured from property lines adjacent to residential properties. 3. Notice of Application for Exemption. Upon application for exemption of all or any portion of a site under the provisions of this section, which is equal to or greater than 20,000 square feet in area, posting and notice of such application and of staff decision shall be given in accordance with the provisions of ECDC 20.95.050(B). Notice shall be provided to all adjacent property owners for sites or por- tions of sites sought for exemption which are less then 20,000 square feet in area under the same procedures. E. Seismic Hazard Areas. Development proposals for sites containing a potential seis- mic hazard area shall only be authorized by staff to alter the seismic hazard area when the applicant documents that: 1. A technical evaluation of the site's specific subsurface conditions indicates that the site is not located within a seismic hazard area; or 2. Mitigation is implemented which ren- ders the site of the proposed development as stable within the meaning of the State Building Code and this code. F. Peer Review and Independent Analysis. All applications for development proposals within geologically hazardous areas or seismic hazard areas shall be accompanied by a written site analysis by a geologist or geotechnical engineer licensed by the state of Washington. Peer review, or at the discretion of the staff, an independent review of the technical analysis of site conditions shall be conducted at the appli- cant's expense pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.140(E). [Ord. 3329 § 1, 2000; Ord. 3087 § 2, 1996]. 20.15B.120 Standards — Streams. No alteration to a stream or buffer shall be permitted unless the city grants an exception pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.040 or unless one of the following applies. In all cases of stream al- teration, crossing, or proposed work within the channel, all city, state, and federal regulations shall apply. Based on the definitions within ECDC 20.15B.020, at the time of adoption of this chapter, the city of Edmonds does not con- tain any Class 1 streams; language regarding these streams is present in order to regulate those Class 1 streams which the city may at some point incorporate into its jurisdiction. A. Required Buffers. Buffers for streams shall be measured on each side of the stream, from the top of the bank. The following are the standard buffers for streams: 1. Category 1 streams and Category 2 streams with salmonids shall have a 50-foot buffer. 2. Category 2 streams shall have a 25- foot buffer. 3. Category 3 streams shall have a 10- foot buffer. B. Stream Crossings. For Category 1 streams, crossings may be allowed only if all reasonable construction techniques and best management practices are used to avoid distur- bance to the stream bed or bank. Upon comple- tion of construction, the area affected shall be restored to an appropriate grade, replanted with native species and/or otherwise protected ac- cording to a plan approved by the planning of- ficial, and maintained and monitored per the requirements of ECDC 20.15B.150(B). For all categories of streams, the applicant must dem- onstrate that best management practices will be used during construction to provide the follow- ing: 1. Fisheries protection, including no interference with fish migration or spawning; 2. All crossings shall be constructed during summer low flow periods and shall be timed to avoid stream disturbance during peri- ods when stream use is critical to salmonids; 3. Crossings shall not occur over salmo- nid spawning areas unless no other possible crossing site exists; 4. Crossings and culverted portions of the stream shall be minimized to the extent fea- sible and serve multiple purposes and multiple lots whenever possible; s (Revised 11/00) 20-38 o LLJ w 5z O ML I I- �!tl V" CIZ[Alaz)a z rn Li > co >: Z co Vl V) L'i Z: CL U- z z 0 LL 0 D P= C) a.
