RE: 1631975 tb Place W, Edmonds
Expired Permit Application BLD20070210
Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard Area (ESLHA)
Dear Mr. Fritschen & Ms. Stewart,
This letter is in response to your letter dated May 15, 2009 (received May 21, 2009), including
further clarifications in response to your letter dated/received April 29, 2009.
To summarize your letters, you intend to submit a new permit application, including plans for the
exact same structures and site design as was previously submitted and reviewed for expired
permit application BLD20070210 using the same architect, civil, geotechnical and structural
engineers. These plans/calculations will be updated to meet the 2006 edition of the building
codes. The project design professionals are:
• Architect: John Martin, AIA #7999
• Structural Engineer for wood frame design: Norm R. Navarro, PE #35682
• Structural Engineer for the pipe pile design: Greg Guillen, PE #25385
• Geotechnical Engineer: Erik Andersen, PE #36468
• Civil Engineer: Scott Peterson, PE #38814
You are also requesting a reduction in plan review and peer review fees since the plan review
and peer review was. complete for the expired permit application and you will be submitting
plans of the exact same structure and site design.
First, you will need to purchase the current ESLHA Packet which can be obtained at the permit
counter. Please ask for Theresa Umbaugh, Senior Permit Coordinator for your project. Please
read the entire packet so you are aware of the permit and construction requirements for projects
within the designated Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard Area.
You are correct that since the previous permit application expired, new plans and calculations
must be submitted meeting the current 2006 edition of the building codes. These plans and
calculations must be stamped and signed by the appropriate design professionals with a letter
from each that they have reviewed the plans to the current 2006 editions of the building codes
and noting the specific changes made to the plans/calculations. Please refer to the ESLHA

Permit Submittal Checklist for the required number of plans and documents to be submitted.
Please note that all stamped and signed drawings, reports, documents, letters, etc. shall have one
copy of each wet -signed by the appropriate design professional. Plans and calculations noted in
your letter dated May 14, 2009 were not accepted at the permit counter since a complete
application could not be made.
Additionally, the following must also be submitted with the permit application reflecting the
change in ownership and acknowledgement of these ELSHA ordinance requirements as new
property owners:
• Lead Design Professional Designation and Statement — received 5/21/09
• Applicant/Owner Liability and Landslide Acknowledgment (Item 11 of ESLHA
Checklist)
• Geotechnical Hazard Identification/Declaration & Mitigation Statement of Risk Form
Geotechnical Engineer and Civil Engineer of Record (Item 12 of ESLHA Checklist)
• Structural Engineer Declaration (Item 13 of ESLHA Checklist)

• Site Posting Notice (Item 15 of ESLHA Checklist)
New permit and plan check fees were adopted by the City Council effective January 1, 2009 and
will be applicable to the new permit application.
With the understanding that the plans/calculations for the exact same structures and site design
will be submitted with only minor changes reflecting 2006 code updates, the revised
plans/calculations and permit application will be reviewed by City pian reviewers with fees
charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum of 1 hour per reviewing division (rather than full
plan review, administrative, and peer review fees saving you approximately $9,200.00). It will
be determined during review if further peer review is required and you will be responsible for
additional peer review fees. If the changes are not minor in nature and/or the floor area has
increased, the City reserves the right to charge full plan review fees, administrative fees, and
require new peer review at your expense.
At the time of permit application, the following fees must be paid:
• $365 (difference of plan review fee previously paid and new plan review fee based on
current adopted fee schedule)
• $50.00 (outstanding storm drainage review fee)
• $639.25 (outstanding peer review fee)
$1054.25
The following is an estimate of fees that must be paid prior to permit issuance:
• Hourly plan review fee from each reviewing division (to be determined as noted above
• Building Permit Fee $3980.00
• Permit Surcharge Fee $15.00
• Grading Permit Fee $340.00
• Plumbing Permit Fee $416.00
• Mechanical Permit Fee $230.00
