CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
Site Location: . 7510162nd Street SW & Tax Acct.-Number: 00513106000100,
16200 75th Place West 00513106000200, and 00513106000400
Determination: STUDY REQUIRED * file Numbers: CRA20100031 and CRA20100032
Owner: Mike Gold Applicant: Robert Hughes
Background...
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain (or be adjacent to)
critical areas, including Geologically Hazardous Areas (Erosion Hazard Area and Landslide Hazard
Area), pursuant to Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). Geologically
hazardous areas include areas susceptible to erosion, land sliding, earthquake, or other geological events.
They pose a threat to the health and safety of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of
• significant hazard. Such incompatible development may not only place itself at risk, but also may increase
the hazard to surrounding development and use.
The LiDAR map (attached) indicates that there is a moderate to steep slope both east and west of the
properties. Soils on the property are identified as Alderwood-Everett gravelly sandy loam in the 15-25% to
25-70% range, which classifies the site as a potential erosion hazard. These slopes qualify as potential
"geologically hazardous areas."
Also, these properties are located within the designated Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area.
Please contact a Permit Coordinator in the Building Division at 425.771.0220 or consult ECDC 19.10 if you
have questions about developing property in this neighborhood.
This review applies to both lots. Depending on the location and project proposed relative to the
Identified critical areas, certain studies and reports may be required. Please contact the Planning
Division at 425.771.0220 if/when you have a specific development proposal for this site to discuss
the various permits that will be required
Allowed Activities and Exempt Development Proposals...
Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.220. Similarly,
certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas requirements (ECDC 23.40.230). If you
have any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed or exempt activity,
• please contact a Planner for more information.
Page 103
General Offical 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 submit the entire study with your
specific development application.
• Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas which 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 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 for Erosion Hazard Areas...
It appears that this property contains or is adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area.
• Erosion Hazard areas include Alderwood and Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater,
among others. •
• Landslide Hazard Areas are further defined in ECDC 23.80.020.A.
• In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific Critical
Area report requirements for Erosion Hazard Areas (which are one of the Geologically Hazardous
Areas) are provided in ECDC 23.80.050.
• Note that Stable Erosion Hazard Areas may have limited report requirements at the director's
discretion. At a minimum an erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance with
the requirements in ECDC Chapter 18.30 shall be required.
Development Proposals Associated with Erosion Hazard Areas..:
Development is restricted within an Erosion Hazard Area and must meet additional criteria.
• For erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, an erosion and sediment control plan prepared
in compliance ECDC 18.30 will be considered to meet the Critical Areas "Study Required"
determination. The determination of "suitable slope stability" will be made by both the Planning and
Engineering divisions of the City of Edmonds.
• 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.
Study Requirement for Landslide Hazard'Aress ..
It appears that this property contains 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.
• 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 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.
