The comments provided below are based upon review of the application and documents submitted
for the subject design review application. Additional information is requested from the applicant at
this time. Please note, the current review is limited to a determination of feasibility and addressing
major design/construction issues. Please respond to the following:
Comments 1 — December 16, 2022 (Phase I)

Comments 3 — August 10, 2023 (Phase II)
General Engineering Review:
The following comments are provided by the Engineering Division. Please contact Jeanie directly
at 425-771-0220 or by email at Jeanie.mcconnellgedmondswa.gov with any specific questions
you may have regarding these comments.
1. August 10, 2023 — Comment remains for reference as civil plans still only indicate the
undergrounding of power.
8/27/2023 — Thank you for revising the civil plans to show undergrounding of power along
Main Street. This comment remains to provide clarification that any and all overhead facilities
along the Main Street property frontage will need to be undergrounded. This includes any
power and/or communication facilities.
12/16/2022 comment - Please refer to Fire Department comments regarding the requirement to
underground power along Main Street property frontage. Please revise plans as needed to
address this requirement.

6. August 10, 2023 — Parking stall widths have been adjusted to reflect 8'/2'. Response
comment letter requests approval to have columns intrude on the 8 %' wide parking
space. Please refer to the comment below. Your project may qualify for reduced parking
width as provided below; however, any parking width must exclude the structural
column.
April 27, 2023 — Response letter states structural design is not yet complete and approval is
requested to allow for structural columns to be included within parking stall dimensions. Per
Edmonds Community Development Code 18.95.020, all stalls must meet the minimum width
requirements exclusive of columns/poles. Please note, this code section includes provisions for
a mixture of full width (8 1/2') and reduced width (8') stalls. Please review this code section for
applicability to the subject project.
12/16/2022 comment - Sheet A1.02 — Confirm parking stall dimensions exclude building
columns.
7. August 10, 2023 — Response comment letter states the dumpster enclosure is now 3'-4"
from the edge of the alley and the dumpsters inside the enclosure have been reduced in
size. Please confirm the overall dimensions of the entire dumpster enclosure are
acceptable to the trash hauler. In addition, it is unclear if the dumpster enclosure
location meets sight distance requirements. Please refer to City standard detail TR-590
for additional information. A convex mirror is not an approved alternative.
April 27, 2023 — see comment below.
12/16/2022 comment - Site distance triangle requirements:
a. Buildings;
April 27, 2023 — Response letter states a convex mirror is provided to address
required visibility. A convex mirror is not an approved alternative and sight
lines are to be addressed with the building design. Please revise plans as
needed such that the building design does not interfere with providing clear
sight lines.
12/16/2022 comment - provide a site window or clear area to ensure line -of -sight
exiting parking garage.
b. ok
8. August 10, 2023 — Please note for future storm design, the City will request that storm
system exposure to illicit discharges be minimized. Currently the storm system control
structure is designed to fall within the limits of the trash enclosure. A spill from the trash
receptable into the storm system could constitute an illicit discharge.
