Site Location 946 MAPLE ST Tax Account Number 00434207001700 Property Owner JOHN D JEWELL Applicant ALBERT COHEN Critical Area(s) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50): NA ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70): NA Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) Erosion Hazard Areas: Yes 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 property is located along the south side of Maple St. and is currently developed with a single-family residence. According to the Soil Survey of Snohomish County, soils on the subject site are "Everett gravelly sand loam 0-8% slopes". The subject site is generally level along the majority of the site but contains slopes along the western property boundary. According to City LiDAR data the site contains slopes greater than 15% which are considered a potential erosion hazard. Additionally, the LiDAR data shows slopes greater than 40 percent with a 10-foot change in elevation for the adjacent parcel to the west which are within 50 feet of the subject site and are considered a potential landslide hazard. Any land disturbing activity within 50 feet of the steep slopes will require a geotechnical report per requirements of ECDC 23.80, with specific reference to ECDC 23.80.060 and ECDC 23.80.070. An Erosion and Sediment control plan compliant with chapter 18.30 ECDC may be required for development on a site containing an erosion hazard area which may be reviewed as part of a building permit. 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.
