Critical Areas Determination
Applicant: Todd Medak Determination #: CA-99-297
Project Name: Permit Number:
Site Location:
15823 — 74th Place W.,
(western portion of lot 33,
immediately east of 15825 —
75th Place W.)
Project Description:
Non -Project Specific
Determination: Study Required:
Property Tax Acct #:
5133 000 033 0000
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site appears to contain
and/or is adjacent to a number of critical areas, including a Steep Slope Hazard Area, Landslide
Hazard Area, Erosion Hazard Area and a Wetland/Stream pursuant to Chapter 20.15B.of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
Based on these findings, prior to submission of any development permit, you will be required
satisfy the requirements of ECDC 20.15B by completing the following:
Steep Slope Hazard Area Delineation Reauirements:.
To determine if a Steep Slope Hazard Area does exist, a topographic survey prepared by a
Licensed Land Surveyor delineating Steep Slope Hazard Areas must be completed. Any slope of
40% or more with at least 20 feet of rise will be classified as a Steep Slope Hazard Area. A 50-
foot buffer is required from both the top and toe of the slope. A 15-foot building setback is
required from the 50-foot buffer.
For development of any kind which is proposed within the critical area, 50-foot buffer or 15-foot
buffer setback, it must be shown that the development will not adversely impact the Critical Area
or its buffer, by doing one or possibly both of the following depending on the outcome of the
study:
1. For development proposals which will occur within the 50-foot buffer, but no closer than
10 feet from the top or toe of the slope, the 50-foot buffer requirement may be reduced to
10 feet if a study is completed by a licensed geologist or geotechnical engineer which
clearly demonstrates that the proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon
the site, the public or any private party. All Critical Area Studies, except those done by a
licensed, geotechnical engineer, must be completed under a three party contract where the
City hires the professional required, and the applicant pays for the study (pursuant to
ECDC Section 20.15B. 140)..
1
2. If development must occur within the critical area, buffer, and/or buffer. setback, and is
not identified as an exception per ECDC Chapter 20.15B, a Reasonable Use Exception
and Variance must be obtained pursuant to ECDC 20.15B.170A and 20.15B.040C.
Landslide Hazard Area
All proposed development of the subject lot must meet the requirements of Chapter 19.05
(Building Permits - Earth Subsidence and Landslide) of the Edmonds Community Development
Code. Note that building permits within the Meadowdale Landslide Hazard Area require more
detailed information than is normally required, which is detailed in the Meadowdale Earth
Subsidence Packet.
Erosion Hazard Area
The site is also in an area designated on the. Critical Areas inventory as Slopes with Erosion
Potential. All proposed development must have an erosion control plan approved by the City of
Edmonds Engineering Department.
Wetland/Stream
My site investigation has shown that the site has an interceptor drain which is probably draining a
natural stream or wetland. Based on the above findings, a Critical Areas Study is required to -
determine the hydrology of the area and to delineate the approximate boundaries of any wetland
or stream and identify its buffers. The -required qualified critical areas consultant needed to
perform the study shall be a specialist in botany, fisheries, wetland biology, and/or hydrology
with a minimum of two years' field experience with wetlands and/or streams in the Pacific
Northwest. All critical areas studies shall be performed as three party agreements with the city
selecting the consultant and the property owner or applicant paying the fees.
The qualified critical areas consultant shall perform the following:
Classification of the stream and/or wetland pursuant to the criteria established in ECDC
Section 20.15B.060(A)(4) and (5).
2. Delineate the edge of the stream and/or wetland on the site.
3. State any mitigating measures appropriate to preserving and protecting the stream and/or
wetland.
After the qualified critical areas consultant has delineated the stream and/or wetland boundary, a
surveyor licensed by the State of Washington must perform the following:
1. Physically mark the edge of the wetland.
2. Delineate the required buffer (see ECDC 20.15B.120.A and 20.15B.130.C).
3. Delineate the required building setback from the buffer (required setback is 15 feet).
4. Create a map showing the wetland, the buffer and the building setback.
The water from this site flows into Puget Sound, therefore, the applicant must contact the
Department of Fish & Wildlife, have them review the site and submit a letter determining the
2
impacts of development on this site and, if necessary, recommend mitigation measures to ensure
protection of the habitat/stream.
Both the qualified critical areas consultant and the Land Surveyor shall enter into a three party
contract with the applicant and the City of Edmonds as required in ECDC 20.15B.140(D), where
the applicant pays for the study. The applicant may suggest qualified professionals for the City's
approval.
If the results of the Critical Areas Study determine that the lot may not be developed, the
applicant may apply for a Reasonable Use Exception and Variance pursuant to ECDC
20.15B.170A and 20.15B.040C).
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel
would not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal to
the Planning Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the proposed
development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Areas or its buffers, a conditional
waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
