Case: # COD2011-0005
Subject property: 9231 Olympic View Drive, Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. El-Sharawy,
As you're aware, the City issued a STOP WORK order on January 21, 2011 regarding the walls
being developed at the northeast portion of the subject property. Subsequently, construction
continued in violation of the order.
The walls appear to be located in a landslide hazard area buffer and appear to be supporting a
surcharge, therefore a building permit is required along with the associated engineering and
critical area approvals. Please note that retaining wall height is limited in setbacks and limited by
engineering standards which may affect the final construction of the walls.
The following corrective actions are required by July 15, 2011:
® Please submit a complete application and fees for a building permit for the retaining
walls. A retaining wall handout with permit submittal requirements is enclosed.
Please contact the Planning Division at 425-771-0220 if you have any questions regarding critical
areas, critical area requirements or setbacks. Please contact the Engineering Division if you have
any questions regarding surcharges. A Permit Coordinator will accept the application materials.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
Code Enforcement Inspector
