Dear Applicant/Owner,
Please find the enclosed critical area determination for the Critical Areas Checklist you

property is "STUDY REQUIRED." Note that this determination is a site -specific determination
and not a project -specific determination.
If the critical area determination is "STUDY REQUIRED," additional critical areas information or
critical areas specific studies may be required for development or alteration of your property
depending on the location of the activity. "WAIVER" means no further critical area review is
required for development or alteration of your property.
If you have any questions regarding this critical area determination, please contact the planner

Site Description
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site contains and is
adjacent to critical areas, specifically Erosion Hazard Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.80 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
The subject property is located off 7907-2401" St. SW. The soils on the site are identified as
Alderwood Urban land complex (2-8% slopes) according to the Snohomish County soils survey.
The site has been regraded in preparation for a short plat and now contains a gradual slope
from west to east. A portion of the slope is retained with eco blocks and no longer meets the
definition of potential landslide hazard area. Portions of the remaining slope meet the
definition of erosion hazard areas.
What does this mean?
The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area
or its buffer. Any development on this site will require an erosion control plan; however, there
is no further requirements of sites with only erosion hazards. If you have a project in concept
and are uncertain whether Critical Area regulations will apply, please contact the Planning staff
for assistance.
What is an 'Alteration'?
According to Section 23.40.005 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC):

Re: 7907 240t" St SW, New SFR on Lot 4
Reviewer,
This project is the construction of a new single-family house on the newly created
lot at the above address. This site is a 4-lot short plat and this letter addresses the
fourth lot. The site has a rolling slope with no evidence of any water or wetlands on
the lot. The new SFR works with the slope of the lot with drainage and sewer
utilities on the downhill side. Access to the lot is on the uphill side with most of the
utilities.
Thank you for your review.
