CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISANCE REPORT
Site Location: 18430 Olympic View Dr. Tax Acct. Numbers: 00565600200203
Reconnaisance Report: Study Required Reconnaisance #: CA-05-43
Owner / Applicant: Theodora Wright
CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISANCE REPORT: CRITICAL AREAS REPORT
REQUIRED (CA-05-43)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contains or be
adjacent to a slope steep enough to be considered a Landslide Hazard Area. These are
features defined as critical areas by Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds Community Development
Code (ECDC).
GENERAL CRITICAL AREAS REPORT REQUIREMENTS
Critical Areas Reports identify, classify and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject
property. They also asses these areas and identify any potential impacts resulting from your
specific development proposal. If a specific development proposal results in an alteration to a
critical area, the critical areas report will also contain a mitigation plan.
• You have the option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and delineates
the critical areas and waiting until you have a specific development proposal to complete
the study.
• • You may also choose submit the entire study with your specific development application.
• Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas are
listed 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical
areas (see below).
• Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as
defined in the ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study
and an approved list of consultants that you may choose from. You may contact the
Planning Division for more information.
• General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in 23.40.110
through 23.40.140.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains a slope steep enough to be considered a Landslide
Hazard Area. Landslide Hazard Areas are regulated in the Critical Areas Chapter as a type of
Geologically Hazardous Area.
• A Landslide Hazard Area is any area with a slope of forty percent (40%) or steeper and
with a vertical relief of ten (10) or more feet (except areas composed of consolidated
bedrock).
• Landslide Hazard Areas are further defined and illustrated in (23.80.020.B.).
• In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above,
there are specific Critical Areas report requirements for Geologically Hazardous Areas
• that are provided in 23.80.050.

t
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREAS
Development is restricted within a Landslide Hazard Area and its buffer.
• Projects that will intrude into these areas will require a report by a licensed Geotechnical •
Engineer.
• The criteria that are applied depend on the amount that the buffer is reduced.
• The buffer can be reduced to a minimum of ten (10) feet (with an additional 15' building
setback) if a report is prepared that meets the standards listed in (23.80.050). The
alteration must also meet the requirements listed 23.80.060.
• In addition, proposals to reduce the buffer to less than ten (10) feet must comply with
the design standards listed in 23.80.070.A.3.
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 (ECDC 20.15I3.040). If
you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more information.
