The purpose of the Checklist is to enable City staff to
determine whether any potential Critical Areas are, or
may be, present on the subject property. The information
needed to complete the Checklist should be easily
available from observations of the site or data available at
City Hall (Critical areas inventories, maps, or soil
surveys).

CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
Site Location: 17720 Talbot Road
Determination: STUDY REQUIRED *
Tax Acct. Number: 00594400003601
File Number: CRA20100036
Owner: Robert Linton — PO Box 1898, Edmonds WA 98020
Applicant: Tom Leren — PO Box 12863, Mill Creek WA 98082 tom@lerendesien.com
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 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 steep slope (of over 80%) along and adjacent to the
western portion of the site which terminates at the railroad tracks. The site is generally comprised of a
rolling slope of 35% across the entire property rolling from east to west. Projects proposed further than
65' from the top of the slope (50' buffer + 15' setback from the critical area) may not require a
geotechnical report to address critical areas issues (of course, other departments may require a report
to address their codes, depending on the scope of work proposed).
This review applies to the entire subject parcel. 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.

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 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 Landslide Hazard Areas...
It appears that this property contains or is adiacent 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.
