RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2015-0490
NEW ACCESS DRIVE AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS AT 22901106 TH AVE. W
Dear Nick,
I have reviewed the referenced building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I
can sign off on the permit, however, the following issues need to be addressed through the
submittal of a response letter and updated plans with changes called out as necessary:
1. Landscaping types: On Sheet L1.01, please label which areas are included as Type V
parking lot landscaping along with their square footages. In previous emails with
Duane Dietz at Jones and Jones, we had determined that the 66 parking stalls would
require 1,557.6 sf of Type V parking lot landscaping.
The realignment of the parking spaces north of the gym shows the elimination of
several landscaping islands and replacement proposed with concrete or striping. That
doesn't satisfy the landscaping code in ECDC 20.13.030.E for parking lots. The two
narrow islands at the ends of the 11 stall area need to meet the size and landscaping
requirements for Type V as does the proposed striped 'no parking' area to the north.
West of the gym, between 106th Avenue and the parking spaces, the area is proposed
as 'northwest lawn mix' adjacent to a gravel path. If that area is being updated, it
would need to be brought up to standard —Type IV landscaping is appropriate in that
location. The standards for Type IV are in ECDC 20.13.030.D. There is no required
street tree for along 106th Avenue but a lower -growing native tree would be
appropriate for beneath the power lines.
2. Landscaping cost estimate: Per ECDC 20.13.040, a landscaping bond is required.
Please submit a cost estimate covering the landscaping, irrigation and labor so that a
bond amount can be determined.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.codepublishing.com/wa/edmonds/.
Please make all submittals to a Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30
pm (8:00 am to 12:00 pm only on Wednesdays). If you have any questions, please contact
me at (425) 771=0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
