The parcel is currently developed with a single-family home. The site slopes gently east to west. According to the Soil Survey of Snohomish County, soils on the subject site consist of "Alderwood urban land complex, 8-15% slopes". The site is adjacent to critical areas, including Fruitdale Creek and potential associated wetlands at the two artificial duck ponds along the creek. The stream runs southeast to northwest. A qualified professional may be able to demonstrate that the buffers from the stream and potential associated wetlands are interrupted by legal development per ECDC 23.40.220(C)(4). 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.
