PLN20080066, ADB — Conditional Use and ADB
Temporary Parking Lot at 102 Main Street
The following information is provided in response to the questions presented during the
Conditional Use hearing for the temporary parking lot at 102 Main Street. It is understood
that the Hearing Examiner has agreed to hold the record open until March 26, 2009, allowing
additional time for the following information to be provided.
With regards to pavement requirements for temporary parking lots, Edmonds Community
Development Code 18.95.020.C. states "Parking lots shall be hard surfaced. The city engineer
may allow gravel parking lots for temporary parking lots, or where parking is primarily long
term. Driveways for gravel parking lots shall be hard -surfaced from at least 20 feet back from
the property line, to the street". The applicant provided a conceptual parking layout plan,
attachment 4g (Exhibit E) of the staff report, to demonstrate the paving requirements for
temporary parking lots will be met.
The City of Edmonds Engineering Division, finds it acceptable to approve the conditional use
permit for a period of two years with the following conditions:
1) The gravel parking area shall be sloped to direct storm water runoff to the existing
catch basin located on private property near the driveway approach at Railroad Street;
2) An oil/water separator, or other filtering method approved by the City, shall be
installed in said catch basin;
3) Sound Transit shall provide a document to the City, for review and approval,
establishing a process for regular inspection and maintenance of the oil/water separtor
or filter system.
Thank you
City of Edmonds
