RE: Greenbean Java CU @ 7601 224 Street SW, EDMONDS (PLN20090048).
Greetings,
Thank you for submitting an application for a Conditional Use (CU) permit to locate a new drive-through coffee
th
7601 244 Street SWBC
stand on the property at , which is located in the Community Business () zone. I am the
Planner assigned to your project. This letter is intended to generally inform you of the CU process and to let you
know that other departments have finished their preliminary review of your proposal and additional information is
requested in order to continue processing your application. Please respond in writing at your earliest convenience.
1.
Please submit reduced-size copies of your submittal items (11x17 or smaller) for reproduction, routing, and
scanning. Because the drawings will need to be legible, feel free to split up the items over several pages
(elevations on one page, site plan on another).
2.
Please submit the proposed colors of the building and indicate any new/existing landscaping on the site plan (or
on a separate landscape plan). To expedite the process, I will conduct the design review of your proposal
administratively and forward my recommendation to the Hearing Examiner during the CU process.
3.
One of the items not addressed in your criteria statement was whether or not the project would be detrimental to
the neighborhood. Will there be any noise or odor generated by the building? Surely there will be an increase
in traffic to this location – how will this be handled so as not to interfere with the State Route? Can you
anticipate anything about your proposal that the neighborhood may object to? If so, what?
4.
Is any signage proposed for the new building? If so, what does it look like? Please know that a building permit
for new signage will be required and that A-Frames (sandwich boards) are not permitted in this zone as a form
of temporary signage.
5.
The location of the new structure is near a steep slope and may require a geotechnical report (later, during the
building permit process) to make sure that the design is suitable and will not impact the slope.
6.
Please submit an Adjacent Property Owner (APO) list in mail-label format, along with the required notarized
affidavit (attached).
7.
A “Notice of Land Use Action” sign is required for posting. If you would like me to help coordinate this for
you, please let me know – we need to either have you find a sign company to set up a large sign on site or I can
coordinate this for you (the sign company that we’ve been using charges $185 but you may be able to find a
deal somewhere else). Either way, please let me know if you’d like me to coordinate this for you or if you’d
like the sign specs and would like to post yourself.
8.
I will contact you with instructions on posting, publishing, and mailing public notice – these are all items that
the applicant is responsible for under the new Title 20. But, please know that I’m here to help you though this
Page 1 of 2
process. We’ll need to post, publish, and mail a “Notice of Public Hearing” at least two weeks before the public
hearing. As soon as you submit the additional information requested, I will contact you to explain and
coordinate these processes.
th
9.
Assuming the questions in this letter can be addressed easily and quickly, does a December 17 public hearing
date work for you? Hearings are conducted in the Council Chambers at the Public Safety Complex across the
street from City Hall on the First and Third Thursdays of each month at 3:00 pm. A representative for your
project would need to be present at the hearing.
10.
TheBuilding Division wanted to let you know that there appears to be no obvious building code deficiencies on
the plans, but that a more thorough review will be preformed by the Building Division with the complete set of
plans after the building permit application is received.
11.
TheEngineering Division had three comments for you to address. Please contact Engineering Program
Manager Jeanie McConnell at 425.771.0220 if you have any questions about her comments:
a.
Please provide a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the proposal. Please refer to City handout #E82 for TIA
requirements (attached).
b.
Please dimension the drive aisle on the east side of the proposed coffee stand as well as the drive aisle area
provided for the fueling station.
c.
Please provide the radius of the drive aisle around the coffee stand.
Once you respond to the above items and make changes as appropriate, staff will again review your proposal for
compliance. When we have determined that we have enough information from you to move forward, I will
th
coordinate with you and establish a public hearing date (possibly December 17). 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,
