The comments provided below are based upon review of the documents submitted in
compliance with the conditions of approval outlined in Resolution No. 1419. Revisions are
required at this time; please respond to the following.
Comments 1 — January 7, 2019
Comments 2 — January 8, 2019
1) January 8, 2019 — An updated letter of compliance was provided — thank you. The
letter does not adequately address condition #2 of Resulution No. 1419, which states
"... a utility access and emergency vehicle turn -around shall be constructed to City
standards in a location agreed upon by the property owners, the City Engineering
Division, and South County Fire for the benefit of the City of Edmonds and South
County Fire." The response letter refers to the easement, but not the required
construction. The City is in receipt of a performance bond that was submitted to
address this requirement. Please revise the compliance letter to reflect this
approach. In addition, the performance bond states improvements will be completed
within 3 months and Duane and I had discussed a timeframe that pushed out the
compliance date until June. Can you please confirm that 3 months (April 2019) will
give sufficient time to find a good weather window to complete the turnaround.

b. 1/7/2019 comment — addressed.
c. January 8, 2019 — A separate declaration of covenant document was
provided. ** Need approval by City Attorney **
1/7/2019 comment — The covenant restrictions have been included in section 5 of
the subject document; however, the restrictions are not in line with the conditions
of Resolution No. 1419. Please revise (whether in a separate covenant document
or not) to fall in line with the Resolution. Specifically, the covenant shall not be
written to apply to additional parcels. The resolution states "The covenant shall
provide that construction of the emergency access road will be a condition of
building permit approval in the event that an additional single-family residence is
proposed to be constructed and take primary or secondary access from any portion
of the area to be vacated."
5) January 8, 2019 — Thank you for providing a road profile. In the staff report for the
street vacation, South County Fire provided fire lane standards noting the fire lane
mush be a minimum unobstructed width of 20-feet. The (18") asphalt thickened
edge will therefore, need to fall outside the 20-ft pavement area. Please revise the
easement area as needed.
1/7/2019 comment - Provide a cross section that shows the width of the existing access
road, as well as the width of the proposed access road (to be improved as a condition of
future buiding permit). Clearly indicate the proposed access easement area will align with
the future improvement.
6) January 8, 2019 — Response letter notes that any portion of the existing road located
outside the emergency vehicle easement will be removed when the full emergency
access road is constructed at the time of future building permit. The timing on
construction (widening) of the access road is acceptable, however, in the meantime
the easements need to provide access over the paved roadway. Please revise the
easement area accordingly.
The access easement
needs to encompass the
paved portion of the road.

1/7/2019 comment - In review of the limits of the existing road and the proposed access
road easement limits, it appears as though a portion of the existing roadway (west of the
fire hydrant) will fall outside the easement area. This can be seen on the boundary line
adjustment document provided for PLN20170050. Please confirm the existing roadway
does in fact fall within the proposed easement areas. If the existing roadway could be
depicted on the composite drawing, that could be useful. The scale of the composite
drawing may need to be adjusted to 1"=20'.
7) January 8, 2019 — Comment acknowledged.
1/7/2019 comment - Please note, the subject street vacation will be placed on the
Februrary 51h City Council meeting. The conditions of Resolution No. 1419 will however,
need to be met by January 14, 2019 (90 days from the date of adoption of the ordinance).
8) January 8, 2019 — Comment acknowledged.
1/7/2019 comment - Please also note, prior to construction of the access road turn around
and any road widening, a construction plan will need to be submitted to the City for
review and approval.
Thank you.
