SUBJECT: EXTENSION TO VALIDITY OF PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF YOUR SHORT
SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 8805 — 220TH ST. SW, FILE NO. PLN20080037
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Reimer:
Preliminary approval of a land use application for a short subdivision located at 8805 — 220th St. SW was issued on
January 29, 2009 under File No. PLN20080037. As you may be aware, the City Council has 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 preliminary short plat approval (if
issued on or before December 31, 2013) to expire and have no further validity at the end of seven years unless the
applicant has acquired final short plat approval within the specified time period. The time period shall commence
upon the issuance of a final, written staff decision.
Based on the provisions of Ordinance No. 3925, the preliminary approval of your short subdivision has been
extended to January 29, 2016. 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. It is highly
advisable that you continue working towards completion of the civil and final review stages of the process allowing
sufficient time to gain final approval 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 the Engineering Division at (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
