RE: Planning review of civil improvement plans for Henson short plat (PLN20080014)
The Planning Division has reviewed the Henson civil improvement plans submitted on
December 2, 2014. The following comments are in reference to the listed conditions of
approval from the preliminary short plat decision of April 7, 2009 and the Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC):
1.As you are aware, the preliminary approval for this short plat expires on April 7, 2016. This
means that all improvements must be approved, installed or bonded for AND the final short
plat must be reviewed, approved and filed with the County Auditor by that date. If both of
these steps are not fully completed by April 7, 2016, the preliminary approval will expire
and cannot be revived. A new preliminary short plat application and fees would be required
to start over again.
2.On Sheet 1, please add the following Tree Protection Notes, which are taken from ECDC
18.45.050.H:
Where the drip line of a tree overlaps a construction line, this shall be indicated on
the survey and the following tree protection measures shall be employed:
1. The applicant may not fill, excavate, stack or store any equipment, or compact the
earth in any way within the area defined by the drip line of any tree to be retained.
2. The applicant shall erect and maintain rope barriers on the drip line or place bales
of hay to protect roots. In addition, the applicant shall provide supervision whenever
equipment or trucks are moving near trees.
3. If the grade level adjoining a retaining tree is to be raised or lowered, the applicant
shall construct a dry rock wall or rock well around the tree. The diameter of this wall
or well must be equal to the tree’s drip line.
4. The applicant may not install ground level impervious surface material within the
area defined by the drip line of any tree to be retained.
5. The grade level around any tree to be retained may not be lowered within the
greater of the following areas: (a) the area defined by the drip line of the tree, or (b)
an area around the tree equal to one foot in diameter for each one inch of tree
caliper.
