Site Descriation
The subject property is a vacant lot located on the west side of 72nd Avenue West. The property slopes

according to the city's LiDAR information. Soils on the property are identified as Alderwood-Everett
gravelly sand loams 25 — 70 % slopes. The soils together with the slopes also classify the site as a
potential erosion hazard area. The property drops of sharply along the western third of the site at
approximately 70%. The site is also identified as being within the North Edmonds Earth Subsidence and
Landslide Hazard Area. Do to the steepness of the slopes on the property; and its location with the
Earth subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area, the site has been identified as a potential landslide hazard
area. The subject property is also within a mapped fish and habitat conservation area.
What does this mean?
The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area or
its buffer. However, once an alteration in or near critical area is proposed, critical area studies and
City review and approval may be required.
What is an `Alteration'?
According to Section 23.40.005 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC):
"Alteration" means any human -induced action which changes the existing conditions of a critical
area or its buffer. Alterations include, but are not limited to: grading, filling; dredging; draining;
channelizing; cutting, pruning, limbing or topping, clearing, relocating or removing vegetation;
applying herbicides or pesticides or any hazardous or toxic substance; discharging pollutants;
paving, construction, application of gravel; modifying for surface water management purposes;
or any other human activity that changes the existing landforms, vegetation, hydrology, wildlife
or wildlife habitat value of critical areas.
