Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values. Site Location 21313, 21315 & 21317 76TH AVENUE WEST Tax Account Number 00875400000100 - 008754000001200 Property Owner Rose Ridge Condominium HOA Applicant Rubenkonig, John Critical Area(s) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50): ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70): X Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) X Erosion Hazard Areas: X Landslide Hazard Areas: ❑ Seismic Hazard Areas: ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Mapped Fish & Wildlife Habitat: ❑ Streams: Site Description The subject site slopes down gradually from west to east away from 76th Ave. W. Just east of the site is a small, steep bank (about 30 feet down over 60 feet). Because it is in excess of 40% slope, the bank to the east of the site is 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.
