RE: COMMENTS ON I ST DRAFT RECORDING DOCUMENTS
FOR ARNHOLD SHORT PLAT, FILE NO. S-2006-141
Dear Ms. Arnhold:
The Engineering Division and I have reviewed the above draft recording documents, and it was found that
the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before review can
continue:
1. The Engineering Division cannot sign off on the final recording documents until either a bond is
posted for the required subdivision improvements or the improvements are completed and the final
inspection is conducted for the civil review_ If you have any questions on this requirement, please
contact Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager, at 425.771.0220 or
mcconnell@ci.edmonds.wa_us.
2. Please refer to the attached memo from Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager. The
items in her memo will need to be addressed before staff can approve your recording documents.
3. On Sheet 1, under the "Certification" heading, correct the spelling of the underlined words within
the first line as follows: _a limited liability company, is the legal owner of the property
herein..."".
4. As conditioned under the preliminary short plat approval, two on-site parking spaces must be
provided for Lot 1. The Engineering Division and I have determined that the portion of the existing
driveway located outside of the 15' vehicular access easement is sufficient to accommodate for two
tandem parking spaces at this time; however, when this portion of pavement is removed as part of
the civil improvements, a new paved area (or garage) will need to be provided to accommodate for
the on-site parking for Lot 1. In order to provide notice of this requirement on the recording
documents, please add the following note to Sheet I: "A minimum of two on-site parking stalls are
required for the single-family residence on Lot 1. The current or any future owner of Lot 1 must
ensure that these stalls are provided at all times. The stalls shall be provided in accordance with
City regulations."
5. As conditioned under the preliminary short plat approval, removal of the detached garage and
associated decks, the shed, and the covering over the patio on the northwest side of the residence
must be removed prior to recording of the short plat. Please contact a Permit Coordinator at
425.771.0220 for information on obtaining demolition permits for these structures prior to their
removal.
6. Please provide and label the gross and net areas of Lots I and 2 on Sheet 2. Net area is equivalent
to gross area excluding the area of the vehicular access easement.
7. Remove the following statement from Sheet 2 of the plans: "Remove covering over patio from the
setback area / Concrete patio to remain" since this work will be conducted prior to recording.
8. On Sheet 2, provide the distance of the property line adjacent to the street for Lot 1.
9. Since the garage and associated decks are required to be removed prior to recording, please remove
these structures from Sheet 2.
10. On Sheet 2, the entire length of the 75 BSBL from the access easement on Lot I should be labeled
as being 7.5'. You may dimension the distance from the residence to the easement as being 7.2',
but no portion of the BSBL should be labeled as 7.2' since the modification request was only
approved for the retention of the existing residence and any future structures must comply with the
7.5' BSBL.
11. On Sheet 2, remove the statement "building to remain," since the existing residence is not required
to be retained as part of the subdivision approval.
12. Please provide evidence of the individual who is authorized to sign on behalf of MLT Properties.
13. Note that all signatures and notary blocks on the final documents must be made in black ink, and
the final documents should not have any folds.
Please make the above changes and submit your updated recording documents to a Planner, Monday
through Friday between 8:00am and 4:30pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
425.771.0220, ext. 1224.

During review of the final short plat documents it was found that the following information,
corrections, or clarifications are needed. Please ask the applicant to revise and resubmit plans
addressing each of the comments below.
SHEET 1
1. Civil construction drawings for the subject short plat have not yet been issued. Final short
plat docments cannot be approved until the civils have been issued and one of the
following has occured:
a. All required subdivision improvements have been constructed; or
b. A performance bond has been received in lieu of constructing all required
improvements.
2. The storm drainage system for the short plat, to be located on Lot 1, was designed to
accept storm water flows from the shared driveway, future driveway and garage on Lot 1
and future driveway on Lot 2. As the drainage system will be constructed with the short
plat and will allow for future connection of some impervious areas, the short plat
recording documents shall reference CG Engineering Infiltration Trench Sizing and
Calculation Summary dated January 30, 2008 and note the impervious area allowances.
3. Please revise the Easement Provisions and Maintenance requirements as follows:
a. Revise #1: Identify the sanitary side sewer lines located within the 10' easement
providing individual benefit to Lots 1 and 2. Individual maintenance
responsibilities shall also be identified.
b. Revise #2: Identify road and storm drainage improvements as having joint
ownership and maintenance responsibilities and water and sewer lines serving Lot
2 as having individual ownership and maintenance responsibilities.
c. Include provisions and maintenance requirements for the joint storm drainage
system to be located on Lot 1.

4. The engineering requirements, contained within the Planning Division Findings,
Conclusions, and Decision dated July 24, 2007, establish the requirement for a storm
drainage system on Lot 2. Please clarify your intent to construct the storm drainage
system on Lot 2 in conjunction with the short plat improvements or to defer construction
of the storm drainage system to the buiding permit phase.
a. If your intent is to construct the storm drainage system for Lot 2, please add the
following language on the face of the short plat:
"The storm drainage system designed and constructed for the future development
of Lot 2 is sized to accommodate 3000 square feet of impervious area. Refer to
Western Engineers Infiltration Trench Sizing and Calculation Summary dated
January 30, 2008".
b. If your intent is to defer the storm drainage requirements for Lot 2, please add the
following language on the face of the short plat:
"Construction of a storm drainage system on Lot 2 has been deferred to coincide
with future development approval of Lot 2. The storm drainage system shall be
designed in accordance with City of Edmonds Storm Water Management Codes
and Regulations effective at the time of development. The storm drainage system
shall be reviewed for compliance at the time of building permit submittal for lot 2
and constructed in conjunction with the approved building permit."
