CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISANCE REPORT
Site Location: 23320 74`h Ave. W. Tax Acct. Numbers: 00488800300202
Reconnaisance Report : Study Required Reconnaisance #: CA-05-50
Owner: Chris O'Brien Applicant Represetative: Budget Tank
CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISANCE REPORT: CRITICAL AREAS REPORT
REQUIRED (CA-05-50)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site is adjacent to a
Wetland. This is a feature defined as critical areas by Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC). Prior to making alterations to your property, a critical
areas report is required.
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.
REPORT REQUIREMENTS — WETLANDS
Research and site investigation has shown that there is a wetland to the east of your property
across 74th Ave. W. Depending on the category of the wetland, the buffer and adjacent building
setback may within your property boundaries. In consideration of this, a study will need to be
done that establishes the wetland class and buffer. Please refer to the information below. Also
note that the entire critical areas ordinance can be found on the City's website at
www.ci.edmonds.wa.us.
Wetlands are areas inundated or saturated by ground or surface water that supports, under
normal circumstances, vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil.
• Wetlands are generally rated according to their size, condition, function, and vegetation
types into four (4) different categories described in 23.50.010 and by use of the "City of
Edmonds Wetland Field Data Form" by the critical areas consultant.
• Buffer widths for wetlands vary depending on the category of the wetland as listed in
23.50.040. F.
In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above,
there are specific Critical Areas report requirements for wetlands that are provided in
23.50.030.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH WETLANDS
Development proposals that encroach into wetlands or their buffers or building setbacks may be
allowed through the approval of certain processes.
• The width of a wetland buffer may be reduced through buffer enhancement if the
criteria described in 23.50.040.F.3 can be met. The maximum amount that a buffer can
be reduced through buffer enhancement is 50%.
• A buffer may also be modified through a process called buffer averaging. The criteria
applied to buffer averaging are listed in 23.50.040.F.4. The maximum amount that the
buffer width can be reduced at any single location through buffer averaging is 50%.
• Development proposals that proposed encroachments into buffers beyond what is
allowed through the above methods require a Critical Areas Variance, or a Reasonable
Use Exception. If you think that you have a proposal that may require one of these
processes, please contact a Planner for more information.
• Any time a development proposal requires an alteration to a wetland, a mitigation plan
is required as part of the Critical Areas report. In addition to the General Mitigation
requirements referenced above, mitigation requirements specific to wetlands are
provided in 23.50.050.
• NOTE: There are specific performance standards for the subdivision of lands in
wetlands and wetland buffers. These are listed in 23.50.060.
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.
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 20.15B.040). If
you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more information.
