Site Location 1017 CAROL WAY Tax Account Number 00592700000300 Property Owner LINDA L PROBSTFELD Applicant BROOKLYN TAYLOR-SPARKS Critical Areas) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50): NA ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70): NA ❑ Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) ❑ Erosion Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Landslide Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Seismic Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Mapped Fish & Wildlife Habitat: NA ❑ Streams: Yes Site Description The subject parcel is located north of Carol Way and developed as a single-family residence. Soils onsite include Alderwood Urban land complex, 2-8% slopes. The site contains and is adjacent to Hindley Creek. The stream runs into the south property line via a culvert under Carol Way, exiting the site to the east. The stream then runs north parallel to the site, reentering to run west, exiting again. Buffers from the stream may impact the site. A qualified professional will need to assess the area to determine the classification of the stream on and adjacent to the site. 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. Unpermitted alteration of a critical area or buffer (including tree trimming or topping, dumping yard waste, or application of pesticides or fertilizers) can lead to enforcement action and fines. Before undertaking any work, please contact the City to verify whether critical area studies and City review is necessary.
