required for development or alteration of your property.

Site Description
The subject site slopes down west -east at approximately a 20% grade (20' rise/100' run) and is underlain
by Alderwood Urban land complex soils (8-15% slope). The house and driveway are located in more
level areas that were likely graded out during construction. Where the slope is greater than 15% (near
the north, east and west edges), it is considered to be a potential erosion hazard 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.
