The critical area determination for your property is "CRITICAL AREA PRESENT." Note that this determination is a site -specific determination and not a project -specific determination. If the critical area determination is "CRITICAL AREA PRESENT," additional critical areas information or critical areas specific studies may be required for development or alteration of your property depending on the location of the activity. "WAIVER" means no further critical area review is required for development or alteration of your property. If you have any questions regarding this critical area determination, please contact the planner on duty at 425.771.0220.

Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values. Site Location 9212 192ND PL SW Tax Account Number 00434600005301 Property Owner JORGE FABIAN QUIROGA Applicant JORGE QUIROGA Critical Area(s) Present li� Wetlands (ECDC 23.50): Yes ❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70): NA IR Geologically Hazardous Areas (ECDC 23.80) 5� Erosion Hazard Areas: Yes ❑ Landslide Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Seismic Hazard Areas: NA ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Mapped Fish & Wildlife Habitat: NA ❑ Streams: NA Site Description During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the subject property contains and/or is adjacent to critical areas, specifically erosion hazard areas pursuant to ECDC 23.80 and wetlands pursuant to ECDC 23.50. The subject property is located on the south side of 192nd PI SW and is developed with a single family residence. Soils on the site are classified as Alderwood Urban land complex, 8-15% slopes according to the Snohomish County Soil Survey. The subject property is relatively level, though there is a small slope of approximately 16% grade that traverses the southeastern portion of the property, according to LiDAR data. Slopes of 15-40% with this soil type are considered erosion hazard areas per ECDC 23.80. According to the City's GIS information, a potential wetland is located approximately 135 feet south from the subject property across 192nd St SW. The wetland was not observed during the site visit. 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 would be reviewed as part of a building permit. A wetland biologist may need to provide a site assessment and functional analysis report that demonstrates the interrupted buffer area is functionally isolated due to 192nd St SW or that the buffer of the wetland is not within site's developable footprint. 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.
