SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SHORT PLAT
APPLICATION LOCATED AT 749 15TH WAY SW, FILE NO. PLN20170063
Dear Mr. Kalab:
Your land use application for a three -lot short plat located at 749 151 Way SW became procedurally
complete pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section 20.02.002 on January
19, 2018. During staff s continued review of your application, however, it was determined that additional
information/clarification is necessary. Please provide responses to the following items at your earliest
convenience so that staff s review of the proposal can continue:
1. Please respond to the following comments related to the title report:
a. The title report must be prepared within 30 days of application submittal. The title report
submitted with your application is dated July 19, 2017, which exceeds 30 days before the
application submittal date (received December 22, 2017). Therefore, please provide an
updated title report.
b. The title report for the subject site includes the restrictive covenants established as part of the
Bell Aire Division A plat. Covenant 96 states the following: `No dwelling shall be erected
or placed on any lot having a width of less than 70 feet at the minimum building setback line,
nor shall any dwelling be erected or placed on any lot having an area of less than 8000
square feet. " Please indicate how you plan on addressing this covenant with the proposed
subdivision.
2. Please have your surveyor make the following corrections to the preliminary short plat map:
a. Provide legal descriptions of the proposed lots.
b. Provide bearings on all proposed lot lines.
c. The preliminary short plat map and preliminary site plan indicate incorrect setbacks for the
proposed lots (the cover letter also incorrectly states that the proposed lots are flag lots). A 5'
BSBL line is shown on each of the proposed lots; however, a 20' street setback is required
from the property lines adjacent to 15th Way SW as well as from the property lines adjacent
to 7th Pl. W. A 15' rear setback would be taken from the most opposite and distant property
line from the street property line on each of the proposed lots. Please revise accordingly.
d. The acreage and square footage labels are swapped on the plans (i.e. the plans state 19,701
acres and 0.45 s.f.). Please correctly indicate the acreage and square footage of the site.
3. The preliminary site plan and cover letter reference the maximum allowed height within the
City's RM zones, not the RS-6 zone. The maximum allowed height within the RS-6 zone is 25'
above average original grade. Height calculations are not reviewed nor approved as part of a
short plat application (they are reviewed at the time of building permit application review), but
staff wanted to make you aware of this error in the height limit stated within your application
materials.
4. Sheet C2 (the preliminary grading and TESC plan) contains a note stating "see vegetation
management plan for more details." Please provide this referenced plan or remove the note if it
was included in error.
5. Refer to the enclosed memorandums from Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager, and
Zack Richardson, Stormwater Engineer, dated February 6, 2018 and January 30, 2018
respectively. As part of your response, please include a cover letter stating how each comment
was addressed. Any questions on the comments in the enclosed memorandums may be directed
to Jeanie McConnell at Jeanie.McConnellkedmondswa.gov or (425) 771-0220.
Several public comment letters have been received to date on the subject application. Please refer
to the nine enclosed comment letters and provide a response to these comments (your response
can be consolidated as one letter addressing each topic/concern raised in the comment letters
instead of separate letters addressing each of the nine comment letters).
Please submit the above information to the Planning Division as soon as possible so that staff may
continue processing your application. Please keep in mind that a complete response to this information
request must he received within 90 days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC
20.02.003.D). Thus, your application will expire if the requested information is not received by Mav
17,201
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Jen.Machugagedmondswa.gov or (425) 771-0220.

Submittal Date: 2/22/2017
Reviewer: Zack Richardson, PE
City of Edmonds, Stormwater Engineer
Recommendation: I recommend that PLN20170063 be withheld until the comments
below are adequately addressed.
Review Comments:
1. The drainage report does not currently appear to address the impervious
surfaces generated as a result of the required frontage improvements; update
report as needed to address frontage improvement areas.
a. It appears that the frontage and a portion of the site may drain south-west
down 15t" Way; update report to reflect or address apparent additional
basin.
2. Neither the drainage report nor geotechnical report address the fact that two of
the proposed infiltration trenches are proposed within the footprints of existing
improvements which are likely to have significantly varied compaction efforts and
soils strata. Update reports & plans as needed to either:
a. Provide investigation & testing in these areas, OR
b. Provide statement from geotech that they reasonably expect similar
infiltration capabilities in these areas, with supporting argument/evidence
as too why (additional testing will be then be required prior to construction
approval), OR
c. Relocated facilities to more apparently feasible locations.
3. It appears that all infiltration facilities are sized only for the impervious areas and
therefore all pervious areas for the site would shed off toward adjacent
properties. Update plans & reports to either:
Page 1 of 2
a. Include pervious areas to be collected and routed to infiltration facilities in
the trench sizing calculations, OR
b. Address and/or show impact of runoff from pervious areas toward
adjacent parcels, including impacts from removed or converted vegetation
areas.
i. And show how the driveway system would be isolated from
collecting additional pervious areas.
4. Update geotechnical report to show Ksat calculations and how the infiltration rate
was determined.

Subject: Proposed subdivision at 749- 15th way sw, Edmonds, Wa.
Greetings Jen, My name is Adrian Shaw. I live at 740- 15th st sw. My property has common property line with 749- 15th
system sw, which is under consideration for a subdivision into three lots from single family residential.
I do not have any particular objections to this project as I understand it. Affected neighbors have voiced concerns to me
regarding extra traffic on street, and potential use of 7th pl w. by unauthorised vehicles. These concerns, however, do
not affect my property in any way. I notice on the plan proposal that the existing fence between our properties is
marked "to be removed". Will this fence be replaced? It is very important to us that our backyard remain secure, as we
have a dog. In addition, on the north side of the property are located several large trees which lean alarmingly toward
our house in southerly winds, which are the prevalent winds in our area. Several of these trees have been described as
"dangerous" by an arborist. My wife and I have been very fearful of these trees for years, so it is our fervent hope that
they will be removed during this process, and that the City will cooperate in this regard. Thank You, Adrian.

Re: PLN20170063/749 15th Way SW/Public Comment
My clients: Trevor and Mary Jezierski
Dear Ms. Machuga:
My clients offer the following comments and statements of concern regarding the above -
referenced short plat application:
1. Tree Preservation/Protection.
Although possibly not integral to the short plat review process itself (other than as to the
requirement that trees of over 8 inches in diameter be depicted on the preliminary short
plat, EMC 20.75.060.N), my clients are concerned about impacts to large trees on their
property because of tree and vegetation clearing, excavation, and construction on the
project parcel. They emphasize that City policy requires that "[w]here environmental
resources exist, such as trees ... the proposal shall be designed to minimize significant
adverse impacts to the resources." EMC 20.75.085.A.1. That approach should be
maintained through the subdivision process and the land clearing, grading, and building
permit and construction phases. In that connection, "[t]rees shall be retained to the
maximum extent feasible" and "[c]learing should not occur outside of the areas
designated on the clearing plan." EMC 18.45.050.B. Given the potential risk to the
health of trees on their property, including through impacts to root systems, the Jezierskis
request that the City pay particular attention to that concern.
2. Stormwater Control/Drainage Patterns.
We have reviewed the comments of Zack Richardson, PE, of January 30, 2018. We
second those concerns and urge that the proponent be required to respond to them.
We separately write to specially urge that all practicable measures be required through
the subdivision and stormwater design and construction phases to avoid runoff impacts to
nearby properties, including the Jezierski propery, as a result of the development of, and
February 16, 2018 — Page 2
substantial increase of impervious surfaces upon, the project site. Specifically, "[t]he
manner by which runoff is discharged from the project site must not cause a significant
adverse impact to ... down gradient properties" and "[t]he discharge must have an
identified overflow route that is safe and certain, and leads to the ultimate outfall location
(such as a receiving water or municipal drainage system)." EMC 18.30.060D, Minimum
Requirement No. 4. In the same vein, "[o]n-site stormwater management BMPs are
required in accordance with the following project thresholds, standards, and lists to
infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on -site to the extent feasible without
causing flooding or erosion impacts." Id., Minimum Requirement No. 5. It appears that
infiltration figures significantly in the stormwater management plan for the project site,
although we have not seen the drainage study, which is not posted on the project page on
the Development Services Department site, and we note that a number of questions
remain to be answered, as stated in Mr. Richardson's comment.
3. Parking/Ferry Traffic.
We assume that the standard two spaces per lot on -site parking requirement will be
imposed on the project site. EMC 17.50.020.A. La. It is particularly important to ensure
adequate on -site parking since the proposed short plat is at the end of a cul-de-sac of
limited size. On -street parking in this cul-de-sac is, per se, illegal owing to deficient
radius and should be so established through the erection of no parking signs.
EMC 8.48.190.B.2. The as -built radius of the cul-de-sac is on the order of 35 feet, such
that parking along its perimeter reduces the drivable radius to below that threshold.
The project site being in the vicinity of Edmonds Way, the Jezierskis also request better
signage at its intersection with 15th Way Southwest to prevent blockage of the
intersection by ferry traffic. See RCW 46.61.202. That situation will become of even
greater concern with the increased traffic that can be expected to enter and exit 15th Way
Southwest as a result of the proposed short plat.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the above comments
Sincerely,
Charles R. Horner

Dear Ms. Machuga & City of Edmonds,
We are the Property Owners located at: 1502 7th Place South, Edmonds, WA 98020.
The following are our comments and concerns (noted below) regarding PLN20170063, per your letter "date of
notice 2/1/2018" and its project location on: 749 15th Way SW, Edmonds, WA 98020.
1. There should be "NO ACCESS" of any kind from our street (7ffi Place South) to any of the new 3
subdivided properties on the other side of our permanent street Fence. Fence located between the new
construction property/project and our street, during construction or in the future.
2. There should be "NO GATES or SECTIONS of Fence REMOVED" from our street's permanent Fence
that would allow any and all temporary or permanent access from our street (7th Place South) at any
time, during construction or in the future.
3. There should be "NO Utility vehicles, Contractor vehicles, Worker's vehicles, Residential vehicles,
RV vehicles, etc." of any kind, accessing the new 3 subdivided properties from our street (7th Place
South) neither, temporarily during construction or permanent.
4. There should be "NO PARKING" of any kind on our private road/street from any of the vehicles listed
above on line 3. Again, all work vehicles, residential and/or visitor vehicles at any time. Neither,
temporarily during construction or in the future.
5. Please note that our street (7ffi Place South) is a "PRIVATE ROAD" to all its Homeowners and is
maintained at our own expense by all Residents. As of yet, all Residents are still waiting for the City of
Edmonds to post a sign at the end of (1502 Th Place South) making everyone full aware that our street
is indeed a PRIVATE ROAD. City of Edmonds had informed us a couple of years ago, they would be
providing and installing this sign at the City of Edmonds expense.
We appreciate you and the City of Edmonds taking great consideration into this matter and regarding our
concerns. Please let us know if there are any questions or disagreements with our stated concerns either, from
the City of Edmonds, property owner or their representatives.
Please confirm your receipt of this email.

My name is Deborah Hegamin. I am the property owner and resident at 1508 7th Place S., which is on the cul-de-sac
adjacent to the above named project Please note that 7th Place South is a PRIVATE ROAD maintained by its
owner/residents.
I am writing to express my concerns about the above named project. Because it is located off of Edmonds Way, which
allows no parking, the immediate concern would be parking and access to the site. I would like to know what measures
the city plans to take to prevent use of our road by demolition/construction/utility workers and equipment during
construction. I can see where it would be tempting to avoid the Edmonds Way issue by accessing the site by our road
and that is totally unacceptable. This is an issue that must be addressed prior to any decisions regarding the project
going forward.
Currently a solid wooden fence separates that property from our road and that, or an equivalent replacement must be
provided. By solid wooden fence, I mean a fence with NO GATES accessing our road and NO REMOVAL OF ANY PORTION
of the fence for any reason.
I also have a concern about increasing the density of housing in this neighborhood, without regard to adequate
increased parking.
I look forward to your response.
Thank You,

RE: PLN20170063
To whom it may concern,
dace`,
f V'jo
�h�►it,��:� Uri -T`
Below is a list of concerns about the proposed development plan PLN20170063.
1) Safety of children. The proposed development is in a cul de sac where there are 4
families with children. The children in the cul de sac often play together in the street,
playing games, riding bikes, drawing, etc. Adding 3 additional houses in this area is going
to add additional traffic right through the middle of the cul de sac, making it unsafe for
children to play. One of the great attributes of this neighborhood the main reason we live
here is that the children that live here can safely play together in the cul de sac.
2) Neighborhood aesthetics including but not limited to the following:
The proposed plan places two story encroaching homes on boarders of property lines
which invades on privacy of neighbors.
The proposed design places as many houses on the property that can legally be
subdivided with a margin of only 59 square foot. It's clear the intent of the design is
maximize profit and not to "harmonize", "with the existing neighborhood" as stated in
the application.
The proposed development will build a sidewalk where none exists which will not be
aligned with other houses in the cul de sac, leaving a protruding, partial sidewalk.
• Architecture and design are going to be two story houses placed close together where
the other homes are one story ramblers equally proportioned on property. The
proposed design doesn't align with the architecture of the existing neighborhood.
3) Increase in property taxes. With the new increase in property taxes from the president
(up to 27 percent in Snohomish county) and 20 additional school levies, home owners in
the area are already facing issues with the tax increase. The proposed development is
only going to raise property taxes, making it more difficult for families.
4) We already deal with a blocked entry onto Edmonds Way due to ferry traffic. The
entrance to our cul de sac is consistently blocked by cars in the ferry line. Taking the only
way out of our cul de Sac onto Edmonds Way is a harrowing and intimidating feat
already. The proposed development adds at least 3 (more likely 6 vehicles) to the coming
and going of our cul de sac. We are overdue for white stripping where our cul de sac
meets Edmonds Way, indicating to the car's driver to not block the intersection. This is a
matter of safety as evident to properties just hundreds of feet down Edmonds Way that
have striping.
Sincerely,
Jason Swatniki,
Regan Singer
We reside at 1506 7th PI S (a private road) which is immediately behind the project at 749 15th
Way SW. We have several concerns.
We do not want any of the utilities to use our private road for access. We do not want these
houses to be able to access their property from our private road. That would include
construction vehicles or equipment.
The increase in traffic onto highway 104 will then turn onto 15th, then north on 8th S. in order
to get to 220th and the freeway. There are several school bus stops in the morning and evening
and kid's safety is a concern.
The fence is the responsibility of the owner of 749 15th Way SW and we would want that to be
in like new condition, with no gate to 7th PI S.
Thank you for your consideration.

File No. PLN20170063 ij�,G OJB
Location: 749 15 Way SW, Edmonds WA 98020 ll�rf
00389900000600
I am a neighbor adjacent to the proposed development lot. I have several concerns
about the proposed development, and feel it is out of character for our area.
Density. This neighborhood consists of modest homes on large lots with old growth
trees and a great deal of privacy. This proposal would increase by 50% the number of
houses on our little street, and the number of lots would necessitate eliminating much of
the privacy we enjoy. It is unclear whether this plan is compatible with the covenants
governing this neighborhood.
Parking and Traffic. Our short little street has only one way in and out, and that is
onto a state highway. During heavy ferry traffic, it is virtually impossible to get in or out.
God help someone who needs to get to a hospital.
In addition, there is very little parking on the street as it exists now. I want to make sure
that the addition of 3 new houses will not exacerbate that situation. Also, we cannot
have construction trucks and equipment parking on our street during construction. I
request that this be a condition of approval of the application.
Fire Safety. There is a notation that the current plan does not provide enough room
for a fire truck to turn around. Obviously, this must be corrected prior to approval.
Safety of our Trees. We are concerned that construction so close to our property
lines could endanger old growth trees in our yards.
Privacy and Character of our Neighborhood. The proposal would place large, two
story houses looming over our one-story homes, only 5 feet away from our property line.
At a minimum, we believe that the developer should be required to provide new fencing
and a buffer zone which would be planted with trees and shrubs to provide a screen.
This should be a condition of approval.
Thank you for your consideration of our concerns.

Jen,
I have attached the notice I received in the mail for the Moore short plat 749 15t" Way SW PLN20170063.
There are concerns for a couple reasons. The radius of the cul-de-sac is already the minimum allowed and has
been strictly enforced by the current residences in the cul-de-sac circle which then pushes the only available
street parking in front of my house 740 15t" Way SW due to drive way locations and mail boxes. The owner of
741 blocks the street parking with his garbage cans. We are the longest residing current resident in the cul-de-
sac and have been there when 749 15t" Way SW was remodeled and trucks blocked the small culdsac causing
my daughter to get into a car accident. Along with not being able to get out of our driving due to being
blocked in. There is nowhere for the additional vehicles to go. There is no parking allowed or available on
Edmonds Way. It can be busy and dangerous. The post man was hit years back trying to deliver the mail to the
house behind me so all mail boxes are in the cul-de-sac and also get blocked a few times a week affecting the
mail delivery. We also had a car from Edmonds Way fly across and just missing out cars hitting the tree in our
yard. I can back both car incidents with pictures and back up.
Please confirm you have received the email and what I need to do to receive consections and fight the
addition of 3 houses in lieu of one. Two houses is possible a more acceptable solutions because then one
house could have a drive way on 15t" Way SW and the other on 7th PI S.
The addition of 3 houses is too tight on a multi zoned street which may later affect development on my lot
that is zoned differently. (both the corner lots adjacent to Edmonds way have had businesses in past years)
Thankyou
Tracy Girouard
