SUBJECT: EXTENSION TO VALIDITY OF PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF YOUR SHORT
SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 7804 — 218T" ST. SW, FILE NO. PLN20070071
Dear Mr. Zanidache:
Preliminary approval of a land use application for a short subdivision located at 7804 — 218fl' St. SW was issued on
January 10, 2008 under File No. PLN20070071. As you may be aware, the City Council recently adopted changes
to the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) that extend the time frame for validity of preliminary
approval for certain short plats.
Previously, ECDC 20.75.100 caused preliminary approval of a short plat to expire and have no further validity at the
end of five years. The recent code changes under Ordinance No. 3925 causes short plats that received preliminary
approval on or after January 1, 2006 and would have expired prior to June 14, 2013 (the effective date of Ordinance
No. 3925) to have their preliminary approvals automatically extended for a period of two years from the effective
date of the ordinance, unless the applicant has acquired final short plat approval within the specified time period.
Based on the provisions of Ordinance No. 3925, the expiration of the preliminary approval of your short subdivision
has been extended to Monday, June 15, 2015.
Please keep in mind that the civil review and final review processes can each take several months, and the civil
improvements must be bonded for and/or completed prior to final approval. Therefore, it is highly advisable that
you promptly begin working towards completion of the civil and final review stages of the process if you wish to
obtain final approval of your short subdivision prior to the extended expiration date.

Please note that this notice does not confer any legal rights and shall not be construed as a land use decision. It
merely serves to notify you, as a courtesy, that a city ordinance that may affect you has recently changed.
If you have any questions on the civil review process, please contact Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program
Manager, at Jeanie.McConnell@edmondswa.gov or (425) 771-0220. If you have any questions on the extension to
the time frame for your preliminary short plat approval or on the necessary steps for obtaining final approval, please
contact the Planning Division at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
