Site Descriation
The subject property is located on the west side of 98th Avenue W. Soils on the property are part of the
Alderwood soils series according to the Snohomish County soils survey. The property consists to two
relatively level areas on the east and west ends of the property with a slope of approximately 29%
dropping down to the western portion. The steepness of this slope together with the soils classifies it as
a potential erosion hazard pursuant to Chapter 23.80 ECDC.
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.
