Two -lot. subdivision of property located at 18607 Olympic View Drive (PLN20090048)
Dear Mr, Reimer,
The City of Edmonds has reviewed your application for a two -lot subdivision for the property at 18607
Olympic View Drive for completeness pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
20.01002. It has determined that the application meets the procedural submission requirements and
therefore is complete, Please accept this letter as the City's notice to the applicant of determination of
completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003,
Although the application is procedurally complete, additional information is needed before review of the
application can continue„ Please respond to the following items so that review of the application can
continue:
1. Critical areas. The original critical area determination for the parcel was completed in 1998 and was
a `study required' for steep slopes. Because the critical areas code was updated in 2004, 1 have
updated the, original determination, a copy of which is enclosed, There are several things to keep in
mind as a result of this update:
a) The parcel is within 800' of Hutt Park, an identified bald eagle nesting site. Please contact the
Department of Fish and Wildlife to see if a habitat management plan is required as part of the
short plat, Please submit the management plan, if required, or an indication from Fish and
Wildlife about what is needed.
b) ECDC 23,90„040,0 requires that a minimum of 30% of native vegetation is retained on
subdividab�le PS -12 and RS -20 parcels. A vegetation management plan meeting the requirements
of 23.90.040.0 will be required as a condition of short plat approval.
c) Finally, on the plat (Sheet 4), please show the standard 50' landslide buffer and 15' building
setback from the top of the slope along Olympic View Drive as well as the existing topography
and trees (like that shown on Sheet 3).
2. Lot area.. The proposed shape of Parcel A will create confusion between adjacent landowners going
forward. While Parcel A would meet the minimum requirement for net lot area, please revise the
shape of Parcel A so that the narrow finger of land that extends to Olympic View Drive is eliminated.
3. Setbacks.. Please indicate the zoning setback boundaries on. Sheet 4. The site is zoned RS -12 and the
setbacks are as follows:
