RE: JOHANNESSEN 3 -LOT SHORT SUBDIVISION @ 10727 226TH ST SW, EDMONDS (S-2008-35).
Dear Mr. Helleren:
On May 8, 2008 you submitted an application for "Preliminary Review" of a three -lot short subdivision for the
property at 10727 226`" Street SW, which is located in the Single -Family Residential (RS -MP) zone (known as the
"Johannessen Short Plat, " file number S-2008-35). This letter is intended to generally inform you of the short
subdivision process -- see summary, below,'
Staff from various departments has been reviewing your proposal and will soon submit their questions and
comments to the Planning Division. Then, I will send you a letter requesting additional information or clarification
based on this initial "Preliminary Review." Once you respond to those items, and make changes as appropriate, staff
will again review your proposal for compliance. In the mean time, I will have the utilities located along your
property's street frontage and I wil I have a "Notice of Land Use Action" sign posted out in front, as required by
code. When we have determined that your project can successfully move forward, I will initiate the two-week
comment period — during this time, neighbors and interested parties are encouraged to submit feedback on your
proposal. After the comment period ends, I will work on my staff report, which will be issued and mailed to all
parties of record. After your project receives "Preliminary Approval," there is a two week appeal period — at the
conclusion of this period, your project will have received "Preliminary Approval."
I am the Planner assigned to your project. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me at
425.771.0220, extension 1778, or via email at coccia@ci.edmonds.wa.us. Thank you for your interest in
development in the City of Edmonds — I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Gina Coccia
Associate Planner

' The short subdivision process in Edmonds is broken into the following phases: (1) Preliminary Review — it is essentially a disclosure phase
during which the primary site issues are discussed relative to a proposed subdivision. The decision and conditions are established
administratively. The conclusion of this process is called PreliminaryApproval; (2) Ent:ineerinu Review — it examines detailed site plans
showing how the required improvements and conditions of preliminary Approval will be constructed. The conclusion of this process is called
Engineering Approval. (3) Final Review — review to ensure overall compliance and to obtain notarized signatures of all interested parties. The
conclusion of this process is called Final Approval; (4) ReeordinE — the applicant records the approved plans at the Snohomish County
Auditor's office and returns three large copies to the Planning Division.
