RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR BLD-2007-0400
NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 16109 N MEADOWDALE RD
To Whom It May Concern:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. The
following information is needed to complete review of the application:
Site Plan.
1. The site plan indicates that the scale is 1 inch = 20 feet. However,
the plan is not to scale. Please revise, so that the dimensions on the plan
correspond to the scale. Also on the site plan, please identify the distance of
the NE corner of the proposed residence to the property line.
Tree Clearing.
2. The Critical Areas Reconnaissance Report (attached)
indicates that the states that tree clearing shall be limited to the footprint of the
development. I recognize that some will need to be removed for the
engineering improvements, but it appears that 3 of the trees slated to be
removed could be retained. Please refer to the attached site plan. The subject
trees have been circled.
Critical Areas Study.
3. A Critical Areas Study is required, in order for
development to be approved for the site. The Critical Areas Reconnaissance
Report (from the City of Edmonds) specifically states what needs to be
included in the geotechnical engineers report. The report should be specific
to the proposal.
Basically, the geotechnical engineer must determine if the slope on the site is
an Erosion Hazard Area or Landslide Hazard Area as defined by the Edmonds
Community Development Code. The requirements for the Critical Areas
Study differ depending on which type of geologically hazard area is on the
site. The geotechnical engineer must identify the hazard area on the site plan
and respond to the relevant code sections as cited on the Critical Areas
Reconnaissance Report. He may also refer to the attached Figure 23.80.000.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday
through Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Please provide 3 new copies of
the revised site plan (1 reduced copy). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me
at (425) 771-0220 ext. 1330. I am in the office Monday, Wednesday, and until noon
Friday. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Taylor, Associate Planner
Development Services Department - Planning Division
