Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE
EDMONDS-WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL LIGHTS CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT APPLICATION - FILE # CU-07-45
Dear Ms. Anderson:
The Edmonds-Woodway High School Lights conditional use permit application is under review;
however, I am unable to continue processing your application until the following information is
submitted:
1.Site Plan
Enclosed with this letter is a handout describing the requirements for a site plan.
Please submit such a plan which identifies the:
softball field
existing structures surrounding the field such as bleachers and dugouts
proposed locations of the lighting structures
On the plan, please make sure to note the appropriate setbacks from the northern and
western property lines adjacent to the field. According to the Edmonds Community
Development Code Section 16.80.030.A, in a Public Use zone the minimum setback
from a public street is 20 feet while a minimum setback of 25 feet must be maintained
from adjacent residentially-zoned property such as that to the west of the site.
In addition, while not necessary to complete the application, I noticed that the two outfield light
poles are proposed to be 70 feet tall. According to Edmonds Community Development Code
Section 16.80.030.B, the maximum height of a building or structure in the Public Use zone is 25
feet, unless a conditional use permit has been obtained. However, a conditional use permit for
additional height may permit structures only up to a maximum height of 60 feet. You may want
to consider an alternative outfield layout that uses the same 60-foot lights that are proposed for
the infield area. Otherwise, you would need to apply for a variance to use the 70-foot light poles
and satisfying all six of the variance criteria could be a challenge (see ECDC 20.85).
Please submit the above information as soon as possible so that your application may be
processed in an expedient manner. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (425)
771-0220, extension 1330.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston
