CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT

Study Required

CRA-2009-0019
Applicant:
Darrin Mock, Chermak Const. Inc.
Owner(s):
Strom Peterson & Maria Montalvo
CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT: STUDY REQUIRED
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site contains and/or is adjacent to
critical areas, including Landslide Hazard and Erosion Hazard Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.40 and
23.80 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
that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess 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 to submit
the entire study with your specific development application.
• Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas that are listed in
ECDC 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 there is 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 ECDC 23.40.110 through
23.40.140.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains and/or is adjacent to a Landslide Hazard 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 ECDC 23.80.020.B.
• In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific
Critical Area report requirements for Landslide Hazard Areas are provided in ECDC 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.
0 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
per ECDC 23.40.280) if a report is prepared that meets the standards listed in ECDC 23.80.050.
The alteration must also meet the requirements listed in ECDC 23.80.060.
• In addition, proposals to reduce the buffer to less than ten (10) feet must comply with the design
standards listed in ECDC 23.80.070.A.3.
STUDY REQUIREMENT — EROSION HAZARD AREA
It appears that this property contains and/or is adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area. Erosion Hazard
Areas include:
• Those areas with Alderwood and Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater.
• Any area with slopes of 15 percent or greater and impermeable soils interbedded with granular
soils and springs or ground water seepage.
• Areas with significant visible evidence of ground water seepage, and which also include existing
landslide deposits regardless of slope.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH EROSION HAZARD AREAS
Development within an Erosion Hazard Area must meet additional criteria.
• For erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, the only critical area study needed is an
erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance with the requirements set forth in
Chapter 18.30 ECDC as part of the construction documents. This option is at the director's
discretion, per Edmonds Community Development Code section 20.80.050.G.
• In areas where the slope stability is not suitable, projects within Erosion Hazard Areas will require
a report by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer or other qualified professional. Note that it is
important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the ordinance.
• Report requirements are given in ECDC 23.80.050, and more generally in ECDC 23.40.090.D.
• Development standards are given in ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070.
ALLOWED ACTIVITIES
Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.20. If you have
any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed activity, please contact
a Planner for more information.
EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements (ECDC 23.40.230). If
you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more information.
