Site Location 7215-1761h St. SW Tax Account Number 00456000001301 Property Owner Doug Randeberg Applicant Karen Matheney 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) ❑ Streams 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 and potential Landslide Hazard Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.80 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). The subject property is located off of 7215-176t" St. SW. The soils on the site are identified as Alderwood Urban land complex (2-8% slopes) along the southern portion of the site and the Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam (15-25% slopes) according to the Snohomish County soils survey. The site itself contains gradual slopes in the southeastern portion of property before dropping steeply towards the northern portion. According to the City's LiDAR information the property west of the subject site contains slopes greater than 40%. Any land disturbing activity within 50 feet of the adjacent steep slope will require a geotechnical report per requirements of ECDC 23.80. Given the soils and slopes on and adjacent to the property, the site contains potential landslide hazards. 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. 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): "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.
