Hi Mike,
If there is no ground disturbing activity then a critical area checklist/determination would not be
required.

Hi Christina,
Thanks for the quick response. Sorry for the confusion, but we are actually not replacing the deck.
We are just repairing a very small portion of the wood members of the existing deck. The scope is
just to replace a portion of a rotten beam and a few wall studs. There will be no new posts or
footings required. Would a Critical Areas Study still be required in this case?
Thanks,
Mike Maechler, PE SE, Project Manager

Good afternoon,
A Critical Areas Study is required with all deck permits. The dry rot being replaced can also be in the
posts that support the deck, which would then require new footings. Also, we see applications come
in for replacement of decks that were never originally permitted, which is why a Critical Areas Study
is required.
I believe it is $55 for an updated CRA.

Subject: 731 Laurel St Edmonds - Critical Areas Determination
Hi Christina,
I called into the developmental services department at the City of Edmonds and was directed to you
to clarify how I should handle a permit submittal on mybuildingpermit.com. I was in the process of
submitting a deck replacement building permit and was notified along the process that I would need
to apply for a critical areas determination if there was not one on file in the last (5) years. After
talking with the receptionist at developmental services she helped me find an old critical areas
determination from 2007 as the most recent on file (see attached). There will not be any ground
disturbance with this project, there will only be structural repairs made to dry rot, any wood that has
dry rot will be replaced with like kind wood/structure. The receptionist mentioned that I might be
able to include a narrative explaining the replacements as an attachment to the permit submittal but
said you would be the best person to talk to about how to do this so the application is not put on a
hold. Please let me know if you would prefer that I apply for a different sort of permit as well. The
project address is 731 Laurel St, Edmonds, WA 98020.
