Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values. Site Location 1205 VIEWLAND WAY Tax Account Number 00729500000200 Property Owner JAMES W & MARGARET J CANNON Applicant BEKAH SWANSON Critical Area(s) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50): NA ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70): NA X Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) X Erosion Hazard Areas: Yes X Landslide Hazard Areas: Yes ❑ Seismic Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Mapped Fish & Wildlife Habitat: NA ❑ Streams: NA Site Description The subject parcel slopes gradually down from east -to -west. At the same time, there is a larger steep slope that falls off near on the northern edge of the parcel. The site is underlain by Alderwood Gravelly sandy loam soils (15-25% slopes). Those portions of the site that have slopes between 15-40% are considered to be potential erosion hazard areas. The north slope is in excess of 40% and is therefore considered to be a potential landslide 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. t MICHAEL CLUGSTON March 30, 2022 Name, Title Cited sections of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) can be found at http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Edmonds Environmentally Critical Areas General Provisions (ECDC 23.40) Wetlands (ECDC 23.50) Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70) Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) Building permits — Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Areas (ECDC 19.10) Date City of Edmonds GIS map tool with approximate location of critical areas: http://maps.edmondswo.gov Page 12 r 1lrV t r...
