RE: COMPLETENESS REVIEW
SUBMITTAL PACKAGE FOR EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND 1,ANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA
DENT SFR ADDITION — 16330 75"' PLACE WEST
EDmONDS, WASHINGTON
This technical memorandum provides our assessment of the completeness of the geotechnical
portions of the permit submittal package submitted to the City of Edmonds (City) for the proposed
addition to the Dent residence within the Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area (ESLHA) of North
Edmonds. This completeness review was accomplished in accordance with Task Order No. 12-06 of
Landau Associates' On -Call Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Services Agreement with the
City.
The completeness review is not intended to be a thorough review of the permit submittal package;
instead, it is intended to be a cursory review to assess whether the submittal appears to contain the
necessary information in order to complete a geotechnical peer review in accordance with Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapter 19.10. As a guide in assessing the completeness of the
package, we referred to the ESLHA Permit Submittal Checklist.
On the basis of our cursory review, it appears that the submittal package contains the
geotechnical, architectural, civil, and structural drawings, and other supporting documents appropriate to
assess the planned construction within the ESLHA and we did not identify missing items that are required
under ECDC 19.10. Of course, once the more detailed geotechnical peer review is underway, there may
be specific items within the submitted documents that need to be clarified or addressed in order to
complete the geotechnical peer review.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this completeness review and when you are
ready for us to commence our geotechnical peer review.
