Generic Agenda Item (ID # 4868) Proposal to Amend the Comprehensive Plan Map Designation from "Single Family - Resource" to "Single Family - Urban 1" for 21 Properties Located between 9th Ave. N, Carol Way, 10th Ave. N., and an Unopened Alley Between Glen St. and Daley St. Background This proposal seeks to change the existing comprehensive plan map designation for 21 properties (7.2 acres), located between 9' Ave. N (west), Carol Way (north), 10' Ave N (east), and the unopened alley between Glen St. and Daley St. (south), from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1" Applicants, Robert Grimm and Carolyn Mangelsdorf, have expressed interest in subdividing their property at 530-9th Ave. N. into two lots. The applicant's property is estimated 17,500 ft2 and does not contain the necessary lot area for a two -lot subdivision under existing Residential Single Family-12 (RS- 12) zoning -which requires minimum lot size of 12,000 ft2. If the amendment is approved, the result would allow owners of the affected properties to apply for a subsequent rezone of their property from RS-12 to either RS-8 or RS-6; however not all properties potentially affected by this application are suitable for a future rezone due to Glen St. not meeting the current Engineering Division standards for street width (Attachment 6), fire access limitations, and constraints on the ability for it to be widened in the future. Staff Recommendation A. Based on the findings of fact, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that Planning Board make a recommendation to City Council to DENY a change in designation from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1" for 21 parcels included in this proposal. B. Based on the findings of fact, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that Planning Board make a recommendation to City Council to APPROVE a change in designation from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1" for the two parcels, 522 and 530-9t' Ave. N., that can provide access via 9' Ave. N. ATTACHMENTS: • Staff Report wAtt (PDF) B. Generic Agenda Item (ID # 4869) Proposal to Amend the Comprehensive Plan Map Designation From "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi -Family - Medium Density) for Two Vacant Parcels in Perrinville Area (Tax Id #00370800300701 and 00370800300702) Background/History This proposal seeks to change the comprehensive plan map designation for two undeveloped parcels in the Perrinville area from "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi -Family Residential - Medium Density." The property -owner has indicated that they are interested in to developing the site with townhomes, but the current zoning designation of "Neighborhood Business" does not allow multi -family residential as a primary use. If this amendment is approved, the property -owner will be able to apply to rezone their property to either Multi -Family Residential - 2.4 (RM-2.4) or RM-3.

STATE & REGIONAL NEWS Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) PSRC generally does not have board and commission meetings during the month of August Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) C SCT is generally light on meetings in August. The SCT Steering Committee (comprised mainly of elected officials within our county region) last met on July 22, with an agenda that included: o Managers and Administrators Group Missions Statement Update 0 2021 dues and assessments o Growth Monitoring Report o Infrastructure financing and conservation opportunities. County Demographic Changes The population of Snohomish County has become somewhat more ethnically/racially diverse since 2010, according to a recent report from the state Office of Financial Management. In 11'3age Packet Pg. 5 5.A.a 2010, the White Non -Hispanic population was 74.6% of the Snohomish County population and by 2019, it was 68.9%. Similarly, the Minority populations comprised 26.6% of the Snohomish County population in 2010 and 31.1% by 2019. 2020 Census Project Update The U.S. Census Bureau is following up its written Census questionnaire with door-to-door visits to follow up with households that have not yet self -responded. The Census workers will wear face masks and follow Center for Disease Control and local health protocols while going door-to- door. All workers will complete a virtual COVID-19 training program before starting their outreach. For the state of Washington so far, the self -response rate is 70%. In Snohomish County, the rate is a little higher: 73.2%. o a a) UW's COVID-19 Mobility Survey L Understanding the impacts of work from home during the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis was U the intent of a recent study released by the University of Washington. The study focused on the o central Puget Sound area and addressed work productivity, shopping, exercise, food access, and mental well-being. PSRC and the UW are jointly working on a report to share more details. For c more information, see: https://www.psrc.org/whats-happening/blog/survey-shows-ups-and- downs-workina-home CITY NEWS Walkable Main Street and Curbside Dining With reasonable precautions for COVID-19, outdoor dining and shopping is an option for some people in Edmonds. Under a new temporary program announced by the Mayor, all downtown restaurants may use adjacent parking spaces to provide outdoor dining options (subject to certain requirements, including safety barriers). In addition, a portion of Main Street will continue to be open to pedestrians only on Saturdays and Sundays. These opportunities will reflect the same timeline as the Summer Market—i.e., through the weekend of October 10-11 Waterfront Redevelopment Project The City will temporary close the beach in front of the Waterfront Center enhance beach habitat along the new Waterfront Center. During the closure, which is expected to be from late August to mid -September, pedestrians may not walk on the beach between Brackett's Landing South and Olympic Beach. The pedestrian easement in front of the Ebb Tide Condominiums will also be temporarily closed.

INTRODUCTION A. SUMMARY This proposal seeks to change the existing comprehensive plan map designation for 21 properties (7.2 acres), located between 91h Ave. N (west), Carol Way (north), 10'h Ave N (east), and the unopened alley between Glen St. and Daley St. (south), from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family - Urban 1" Applicants, Robert Grimm and Carolyn Mangelsdorf, have expressed interest in subdividing their property at 530-91h Ave. N. into two lots. The applicant's property is estimated 17,500 ft2 and does not contain the necessary lot area for a two -lot subdivision under existing Residential Single Family- 12 (RS-12) zoning —which requires minimum lot size of 12,000 ft2.

B. APPLICATION 1. Applicant: Robert Grimm and Carolyn Mangelsdorf 2. Site: Block comprised of 21 parcels (approximately 7.2 acres) located between 9`h Ave. N (west), Carol Way (north), 10`h Ave N (east), and the unopened alley between Glen St. and Daley St. (south) Packet Pg. 12 3. Request: To change the Comprehensive Plan designation from "Single Family - Resource" to "Single Family - Urban L" 4. Review Process: Legislative "Type V" actions — final decisions are made by City Council after reviewing Planning Board's recommendation. 5. Major Issue: Compliance with ECDC 20.00 (changes to the Comprehensive Plan). II. FINDINGS A. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), found in Chapter 43.21C RCW, is a state law that requires the City to conduct an environmental impact review of any action that might have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The review includes the completion of an environmental checklist by the City. A SEPA Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) was issued on August 11, 2020 (Attachment 9). The appeals period expires August 26, 2020. If no appeals are filed by this date, the SEPA determination is final. B. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE This application has been reviewed by the Engineering Division, Fire District, Public Works Department, and the Building Division. No comments were received from the Fire District, Public Works Department, or the Building Division. Engineering Division noted in their memorandum (Attachment 7) that Glen St. does not meet current Engineering standards for street width. If the scope of properties considered for future rezone include properties that increase the number of lots receiving access via Glen St., then the Engineering Division will require a traffic study and improvements to Glen St., including widening and a through connection between 9th Ave. N. and 10`h Ave. N. Alternatively, if a rezone application is submitted for the two properties identified in Engineering's memorandum, 522 and 530 Glen St., and there is no increase to the number of lots being accessed via Glen St., then Glen St. will not need to be improved and no traffic study would be required. C. PUBLIC COMMENTS To date, no public comments have been received. D. PUBLIC NOTICE Pursuant to Section 20.03 of the ECDC, a notice of the public hearing was posted on the City of Edmonds' website, published in the Everett Herald, and mailed to property -owners within 300 feet of the site. All legal requirements for public notice have been satisfied (Attachment 8). E. SETTING 1. Proposed designation and development of the site. The proposal would change the comprehensive plan map designation from "Single Family - Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1." This is a non -project action; no development is proposed with this application. 2 l P a g e Packet Pg. 13 6.A.a 2. Current designation and development of the site. The site is designated "Single Family -Resource" and currently developed with a single family home. 3. Designation and development in the vicinity. The neighborhood is developed primarily with single family homes, with a more intense development pattern consisting of single family homes, multi -family homes, and commercial to the south and west of the subject area. Comprehensive plan map designations within 1/4-mile of the subject area include: Single Family -Urban 1, Single Family -Resource, Multi -Family -High Density, Public, and Arts Center Corridor. 4. Previous proposals in the vicinity. No similar proposals in the immediate vicinity have been found in the City's permit system. F. ZONING COMPLIANCE A zoning change is not required as a condition of the proposal. G. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE In order to meet the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW, the city shall undertake comprehensive plan amendments only once per year. Pursuant to ECDC 20.00.050, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan may only be adopted if the following findings are made: 1. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in the public interest? The proposed amendment seeks to change the comprehensive plan map designation to a designation that is compatible with the surrounding area. The proposal has limited public interest to the property -owners involved. 2. Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or welfare of the city? The proposed amendment is not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the city. 3. Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city? The comprehensive plan designation requested allows the same uses as currently exist. There would be no shift in the balance of land uses if this proposal is approved. 3 l P a g e Packet Pg. 14 6.A.a 4. Is the subject parcel physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development, including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses and absence of physical constraints? There are access constraints for any property -owner seeking to short plat their property in a manner that increases the number of lots requiring access from Glen St. The review team identified two parcels (522 and 530-9th Ave. N)—one of which is owned by the applicant —where access could be provided via 9th Ave. N. and not be subject to the constraints that limit development along Glen St. Utilities are readily accessible along 9th Ave. N and Glen St. III. CONCLUSIONS A. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. B. The proposal would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or welfare of the city C. The proposal would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. D. Not all of the subject parcels are physically suitable for the requested land use designation due to access constraints. Two parcels, 522 and 530-9th Ave. N, are physically suitable. IV. RECOMMENDATION A. Based on the findings of fact, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that Planning Board make a recommendation to City Council to DENY a change in designation from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1" for 21 parcels included in this proposal. B. Based on the findings of fact, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that Planning Board make a recommendation to City Council to APPROVE a change in designation from "Single Family -Resource" to "Single Family -Urban 1" for the two parcels, 522 and 530- 9th Ave. N., that can provide access via 9th Ave. N.

The area covered by our application comprises a tract of land bordered by 9th Ave N. to the west, Carol Way to the north,10th Ave N. to the east, and seven properties south of Glen Street located between 522 91h Ave N. on the west and 505 10th Ave N. on the east. A total of 21 properties fall within the rezone area (See Figure 1). The applicants recognize that Single Family, Resource designations are often based upon proximity to areas of landslide hazards or probability of severe erosion. However, the attached Critical Areas — Vicinity Map indicates that these factors are not a concern in the proposed area. In addition, as shown in the attached Comp Plan — Vicinity Map, properties to the south and immediately east of the proposed area currently have a Single Family, Urban 1 designation. Therefore, this proposed amendment is in keeping with that of surrounding and nearby properties. Approval of this amendment would be consistent with multiple aspects of the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan, including: Community Sustainability • Constitutes land use that supports the ability of residents to work, shop, and obtain services locally. • Offers flexibility for existing housing needs and to adapt to evolving housing needs and choices. • Allows opportunities for residents to choose to stay in the community as their needs and resources evolve and change over time. • Allows the possibility of additional housing units in an already -developed area, thereby preserving natural areas and habitats.

The City will proceed with the associated public notice requirements once hearings are scheduled with Planning Board and City Council.

Sincerely, Brad Shipley Associate Planner Packet Pg. 22 MEMORANDUM Date: April 20, 2020 To: Brad Shipley, Associate Planner From: Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer Subject: AMD2019-0007 — Comp Plan Amendment Grimm — 530 911 Ave N Engineering has reviewed the subject application and found the information provided is consistent with Title 18 Edmonds Community Development Code & Engineering standards. It is my understanding that the proposed comprehensive plan amendment is the first step in a series of steps the applicant is seeking in order to subdivide their proprety. The current application indicates a phased project involving a comp plan amendment, rezone application and ultimately property subdivision. The comp plan amendment and future potential rezone areas are shown below in green. The applicant owns the property at 530 9tn Ave N, shown by the red dot. DALEY ST x Glen Street is a mostly private road that does not meet current Engineering Division standards for roadway width. With a rezone of this area, additional transportation impacts are presumed and therefore, assessement of the transportation system would be required. While not required during the current comp plan amendment phase, a transportation study would need to be submitted with any future rezone application. At a minimum, widening Glen Street to City City of Edmonds Packet Pg. 23 6.A.a standards and providing a through connection from 9th Ave N to 1 Oth Ave N would be required. Should the rezone be limited to 530 and 522 9th Ave N and access with a future subdivision on 530 9th Ave N (shown in blue below) be restricted to 91h Ave N, then Glen Street would not need to be improved to City standards. In addition, a traffic study would not be required. Thank you. Packet Pg. 24 6.A.a z w `/)C.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. E Instructions for Applicants: c m This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this E checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer a the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. y _ Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if s you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. a The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of E land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you L? submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there r may be significant adverse impact. 3 Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: a For nonproject proposals complete this checklist and the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (Part D). the lead agency may W exclude any question for the environmental elements (Part B) which they determine do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposed nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. m E A.

INTRODUCTION A. SUMMARY This proposal seeks to change the comprehensive plan map designation for two undeveloped parcels in the Perrinville area from "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi -Family Residential — Medium Density." The property -owner has indicated that they are interested in to developing the site with townhomes, but the current zoning designation of "Neighborhood Business" does not allow multi -family residential as a primary use. If this amendment is approved, the property -owner will be able to apply to rezone their property to either Multi -Family Residential — 2.4 (RM-2.4) or RM-3. B. APPLICATION 1. Applicant: Hans Korve, DMP Inc. 2. Site: Two vacant parcels (00370800300701 and 00370800300702) totaling 1.04 acres (Attachment 3). 3. Request: To change the Comprehensive Plan designation from "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi Family — Medium Density" 4. Review Process: Legislative "Type V" actions — final decisions are made by City Council after reviewing Planning Board's recommendation. 5. Maior Issue: Compliance with ECDC 20.00 (changes to the Comprehensive Plan). Packet Pg. 68 6.B.a II. FINDINGS A. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), found in Chapter 43.21C RCW, is a state law that requires the City to conduct an environmental impact review of any action that might have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The review includes the completion of an environmental checklist by the City. A SEPA Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) was issued on August 11, 2020 (Attachment 10). The appeals period expires August 26, 2020. If no appeals are filed by this date, the SEPA determination is final. B. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE This application has been reviewed by the Engineering Division, Fire District, Public Works Department, and the Building Division. No comments were received from the Fire District, Public Works Department, or the Building Division. Engineering requested a traffic study be provided with any future rezoning of the properties (Attachment 7). C. PUBLIC COMMENTS As of the date of this report, four residents provided public comments (Attachment 9) in response to this application. All four were against the proposal. A summary of their concerns are as follows: • Desire for new commercial development instead of housing; • Fear of losing privacy; • Desire for open space for wildlife; • Concern over increased soil erosion caused by traffic. D. PUBLIC NOTICE Pursuant to Section 20.03 of the ECDC, a notice of the public hearing was posted on the City of Edmonds' website, published in the Everett Herald, and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the site. All legal requirements for public notice have been satisfied (Attachment 8). E. SETTING 1. Proposed designation and development of the site. Proposal is to change the comprehensive plan map designation for the subject parcels from "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi -Family Residential — Medium Density" This is a non -project action; no development is proposed with this application. If approved, the applicant has indicated they would like to develop the site with townhomes. 2. Current designation and development of the site. Current comprehensive plan designation of site is "Neighborhood Commercial." Property is zoned "Neighborhood Business" (BN). The site is undeveloped. 2 l P a g e Packet Pg. 69 6.B.a 3. Designation and development in the vicinity. Comprehensive plan land use designation in the area include the following: Single Family — Resource, Single Family — Urban 1, Single Family — Urban 3, Open Space, Neighborhood Commercial, and Multi Family — Medium Density. The immediate area is developed with a mixture of uses, including: a post office, local retail shops and services, professional offices, restaurants, multi -family residential, and single family residential. Perrinville Village, a new 42-unit, fee -simple townhome development, is under construction in Lynnwood. 4. Previous proposals in the vicinity. Staff review of city records found two rezone applications from nearby Perrinville properties that were approved in the 1980's. These rezones involved similar land use exchanges as this application —multi -family and neighborhood business. In 1985, a rezone from "Neighborhood Business" (BN) to "Multi -Family Residential" (RM-3) was approved for a 2.2-acre parcel on 761 Ave. W. One year later, Perrin Village was developed —which consists of five four -unit multi -family buildings. In 1987, a 1.2-acre parcel was rezoned from RM-3 to BN to allow the United States Postal Service to expand their facilities F. ZONING COMPLIANCE A zoning change is not required as a condition of the proposal. G. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE Po Office Remn Subject i Erp S t3 HM-3 _ In order to meet the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW, the city shall undertake comprehensive plan amendments only once per year. Pursuant to ECDC 20.00.050, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan may only be adopted if the following findings are made: 1. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and in the public interest? The comprehensive plan mentions "Perrinville" four times, but does not outline a specific vision for the area. The neighborhood is generally recognized in the comprehensive plan as an area that "includes commercial activities." There is one goal policy in the Transportation Element which identifies Perrinville: Goal S: Create a complete and connected system that offers efficient transportation options Policy 5.11 Explore future funding for a city -based circulator bus that provides local shuttle service between neighborhoods (Firdale Village, Perrinville, Five Corners, Westgate) and downtown. Source: City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element, 2017. p. 233 3 1 P a g e Packet Pg. 70 6.B.a The Land Use Element provides the following goals and policies for residential development: Residential Goal B. A broad range of housing types and densities should be encouraged in order that a choice of housing will be available to all Edmonds residents, in accordance with the following policies: B.2 Multiple. The City's development policies encourage sustainable high quality site and building design to promote coordinated development and to preserve the trees, topography and other natural features of the site. Stereotyped, boxy multiple unit residential (RM) buildings are to be avoided. B.2.a Location Policies. B.2. a. i. RM uses should be located near arterial or collector streets. B.2.b Compatibility Policies. B.2. b. i RM developments should preserve the privacy and view of surrounding buildings, wherever feasible. B.2. b. ii The height of RM buildings that abut single family residential (RS) zones shall be similar to the height permitted in the abutting RS zone except where the existing vegetation and/or change in topography can substantially screen one use from another. B.2. b. iii The design of RM buildings located next to RS zones should be similar to the design idiom of the single family residence. B.2.c. General Design Policies. B.2. c. i The nonstructural elements of the building (such as decks, lights, rails, doors, windows and window easements, materials, textures and colors) should be coordinated to carry out a unified design concept. B.2.c.ii Site and building plans should be designed to preserve the natural features (trees, streams, topography, etc) of the site rather than forcing the site to meet the needs of the imposed plan. Source: City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element, 2017. p. 67-68 Most of the multi -family residential housing policies above are design -related and addressed during design review. One housing policy touches on locating multi -family uses near collector or arterial streets. Olympic View Dr. and 76t1i Ave. W., are both classified as either collector or minor arterial depending on the direction. North and west directions are classified collector and southern and eastern directions are minor arterial (Attachment 5). Staff finds the proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan. 2. Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or welfare of the city? 4 1 P a g e Packet Pg. 71 In 1962, while still under Snohomish County jurisdiction, the subject site was rezoned from an unknown zoning designation to "Neighborhood Business" —the county equivalent to Edmonds' BN zone. Edmonds annexed land that contained the subject site in 1982. The subject site has remained vacant in the 58 years since the property was rezoned by Snohomish County for commercial use. No records were found during staff review that indicate any past expressed interest in developing the site prior to this proposal. Residents have indicated that they would like to see business options expanded in the area. Small businesses located within largely residential communities help encourage healthy activities, such as walking and biking, and provide third places for neighbors to come together. Small businesses often rely on local residents for survival. The spread out nature of single family development works against the interest of small businesses by limiting the pool of potential customers and increases to traffic as customers tend to choose driving once a walk exceeds ten minutes or fails to stimulate their senses. Additionally, the proposal could provide much needed "missing middle" housing options for the community. Subject site's 761h Ave. W. frontage is on left side of image. Pedestrian safety and comfort improvements along 76th Ave. W. could improve Staff finds the proposal to be in the neighborhood walkability. public interest, and an improvement to the health, safety, and welfare of the city. 3. Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city? There is a small shift (1.04 acres) from commercial to residential land uses; however, the shift does not disrupt the balance of land uses within the city. The proposed use is compatible with existing commercial uses. Office and day-care uses are allowed under RM zoning as primary conditional uses. 4. Is the subject parcel physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development, including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses and absence of physical constraints? The site has access to utilities in 76t' Ave. W. right-of-way. Edmonds has a service agreement with Lynnwood to receive sewage from nearby Edmonds properties. Recent upgrades to Lynnwood's sewer system has increased its capacity and there are no issues with connecting to their facilities (Lester Rubstello, Lynnwood Deputy Public Works Director, personal communication, August 18, 2020). 5 1 P a g e Packet Pg. 72 Regarding compatibility with adjoining land uses, small-scale, multi -family development provides a transition between single family residential and neighborhood commercial uses. Bulk zoning standards and landscaping requirements provide assurances that a level of privacy can be maintained between different uses. III. CONCLUSIONS A. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan B. The proposal would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or welfare of the city C. The proposal would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the city. D. The subject parcels are physically suitable for the requested land use. IV. RECOMMENDATION A. Based on the findings of fact, conclusions, and attachments to this report, staff recommends that Planning Board make a recommendation to City Council to APPROVE a change in designation from "Neighborhood Commercial" to "Multi -Family — Medium Density."

Brad Shipley, Associate Planner 121 5th Ave N Edmonds WA 98020 RE: Omnia Homes —Comprehensive Plan Alteration & Rezone Request Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Multi -Family — Med. Density (MF-MD) Neighborhood Business (BN) to RM-2.4 183XX 76th Ave W. Edmonds. Parcel Numbers 003708-003-007-01 and -02. Dear Mr. Shipley: The Applicant is please to submit the attached Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone Application for the Omnia Homes Townhouse project. The Applicant proposes to re -designate a 1.05 acres parcel from NC to MF-MD to allow for the construction of a 6-unit, fee -simple, zero -lot -line, townhome neighborhood. The subject property is currently zoned Neighborhood Business (BN). The adjacent parcels to the south are currently commercial uses, consistent with the existing zoning. The subject parcel has a 6' to 8' elevation difference between the street and the flat portion of the site. The site also has a steep slope that dominates the eastern half of the site. A review of the property has determined that commercial development that is 8' above the adjacent roadway will not be visible to potential customers. The poor marketability of the property for commercial use has contributed to its long term vacant condition. The Applicant proposes to re -designate the property to allow for the construction of 6 fee -simple townhomes. The attached units will provide an opportunity for home ownership at a much more attainable price point. The elevation of the property will provide privacy to the residents and separation from 76th Ave W. Pedestrian access will come from the west but vehicle access is proposed from the east. The "rear access" design will provide a more pedestrian friendly frontage. As housing prices continue to rise and home ownership become less attainable to a larger segment of the population, it is important for communities to offer alternatives that support long-term residency and community investment. We offer the following responses to the Amendment review criteria: Packet Pg. 76 6.B.a COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA Demonstrate how each of the following circumstances justifies a re -designation of your property or a change in existing Plan policies: A. Describe how the proposal is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. A key feature of Edmonds' Comprehensive Plan is its emphasis on mixed use development, which may included both commercial and residential uses on a combination of lots arranged in proximity to each other. The subject property is located adjacent to two NB uses to the south and across the street from the US Post Office on the west. While the property is not being developed in conjunction with these projects it does meet the definition of mixed use spelled out in the Comprehensive plans Land Use segment. Under the current BN designation, the applicant is allowed to develop single-family residential lots or commercial uses. We have determined that commercial investment is not feasible. Use of the property for single-family development is the most land intensive and costly form of development per unit. It is an inefficient use of land and does not support the goals of the City. Given the limited supply of vacant land within the city, the comprehensive plan seeks to increase housing capacity while maintaining the character of the city. The existing zoning allows low density residential development; the applicant seeks the creation of zero -lot -line, fee simple townhomes that will provide the opportunity for home ownership at a more modest price point. This will be an increase in land capacity while respecting the natural environment and character of the area.. Another important segment of the Lane Use section stipulates that the City should consider using incentives to achieve redevelopment and infill goals and zoning incentives or other measures to ensure that land adjacent to infrastructure facilities is utilized to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of that infrastructure. The applicants proposed amendment will promote a more efficient form of residential infill development in close proximity to both commercial services and public transit. This application is supported by the following aspects of the Comprehensive Plan: ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Residential B.2.a and .b — promote the location of RM development near Collector streets and seek the preservation of privacy and views of surrounding buildings. The height should be similar to RS zone accept where vegetation or topography can screen one from the other. The proposed alteration from NC to MF and BN to RM is consistent will each of the identified policies. The subject property is uniquely situated approximately 8' above 76th Ave W. This elevation makes the site unsuitable P a c 12 Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Rezone Request Omnia Home Packet Pg. 77 6.B.a for commercial use but does provide a visual buffer for the proposed townhouse development. The substantial slope to the east buffers the development from the neighborhoods to the northeast, east and southeast. Only one home to the north is at the same elevation as the proposed development. The proposed townhomes will be similar in character to the surrounding single-family residences and fencing and vegetated buffers to the north and south will provide ample separation between uses. The proposed townhomes are an appropriate transition from the nearby commercial to the adjacent SF residential development. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Residential B.2.c — encourages good design practices that preserve the natural surroundings. The applicants proposed amendment will avoid massive re -grading of the site that would be required to make it suitable for commercial use and seeks a more harmonious approach to provide attainable housing in proximity to existing commercial services and community transit. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Commercial A.2 — states that parcels of land previously planned or zoned for commercial use but which are now or will be identified as unnecessary, or inappropriate for such use by additional analysis, should be reclassified for other uses. This adopted policy is at the heart of the applicant's proposal. The subject parcel is inappropriate for commercial use due to its elevation - 8' above the adjacent street. It is visually separated from potential customers. The property would need to be significantly regarded to make it suitable for commercial use. This effort would make any project economically infeasible and would not be in keeping with other adopted policies to integrate development into the natural landscape. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Commercial A.4 — specifies that the design and location of all commercial sites should provide for convenient and safe access for customers, employees and suppliers. As previously indicated, the project site is approximately 8' above 76th Ave W. Without significant re- grading of the site, the property does not provide convenient access for a commercial use. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Commercial B.3 — supports the creation of mixed -use walkable, compact development that is economically viable, attractive and community -friendly. The Comprehensive plan recognizes that mixed -use development is horizontal as well as vertical. The subject property is located adjacent to two NB uses to the south and across the street from the US Post Office on the west. While the property is not being developed in conjunction with these projects it does meet the definition of mixed use spelled out in the Comprehensive plans Land Use segment. The proposed townhouses are an economically viable segment of this mixed use area, where additional commercial development is not viable at this location. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Commercial B.4 — promotes improved connectedness for pedestrian and bicycle users in a transit -friendly environment. The proposed alteration would place 6 fee -simple townhomes adjacent to commercial services and a major transit line. The nearest bus stop is approximately 300' south of the property and provides direct access to a park & ride as well as the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center. P a , c 13 Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Rezone Request Omnia Home Packet Pg. 78 6.B.a ➢ Comprehensive Plan Policy Commercial B.9 - encourages the development of a variety of housing choices available to residents of all economic and age segments. Edmonds' Comprehensive Plan is a flexible framework that adapts to changing conditions over time. The purpose of this policy is to reduce barriers that prevent low and moderate income households from living near their work or transit, and to support housing that is affordably priced for all households. Edmonds is striving to be a community of choice because increasing home ownership in turn supports long term residency and neighborhood stability. The Applicant's proposal will help to meet the needs of moderate income families without lowering the quality of the neighborhood. The existing allowed Single-family development would do nothing to support this policy. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Goal Commercial C — describes the purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial designation. BN developments are to be mixed - use and pedestrian -oriented. Commercial spaces are to have street -level entrances, and storefront facades that are dominated by transparent windows. The project site does not meet the goal of this section or its supporting policies. The topographic reality of the site makes it unsuitable for Neighborhood Commercial use. Approval of the alteration will allow the site to become the horizontal component of a mixed use development at the intersection of 76th Ave W, and Olympic View Dr. ➢ Comprehensive Plan Goal Site and Topography A — states that future development in areas of steep slope should be based on site development which preserves the natural site characteristics. The supporting policies seek to reduce cuts and fills, conform to the natural topography, and minimize grading of hillsides. Under the current designation, any economically viable commercial development would be required to lower the site 6 to 8 feet to meet the Commercial goals and policies described above. This creates a conflict between various goals and policies within the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed alteration will bring the various segments of the Comprehensive plan back into alignment with the topographic reality of the site. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains similar goals and policies to the Land Use chapter that was discussed above. Generally the goals are directed toward providing housing opportunities for all segments of the city's residence. The City seeks to encourage more infill multifamily development in corridors served by transit: ➢ Comprehensive Plan Goal Housing F — promotes a variety of housing opportunities by establishing land use patterns that provide a mixture of housing types and densities that support the established character of the community. As previously described, the amendment proposal increases the allowed number of units from three single-family lots to six fee -simple, zero - lot -line, townhomes. This new option would increase the housing stock and decrease the cost of home ownership for moderate or fixed income residence. P a g c 14 Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Rezone Request Omnia Home Packet Pg. 79 6.B.a ➢ Comprehensive Plan Goal Housing G —seeks to provide housing opportunities within Activity Centers by providing for mixed -use development and housing that is in close proximity to transit. The Perrinville neighborhood is a small Activity Center but it is located at the intersection of 2 significant roadways, along a major bus line, and provides several neighborhood commercial services within walking distance of the project. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes horizontal mixed use as an appropriate option in some situations. The Applicants proposal will introduce townhouses adjacent to a neighborhood commercial center. New residents will be within walking distance of several restaurants, and community services as well as a significant bus line. B. How does the proposal bear a substantial relation to public health, safety and welfare. The proposal will increase the variety of housing choices available to residents of all economic and age segments. It will place these residences adjacent to existing commercial services and high frequency transit. It will also conform to the natural topography of the site and minimize grading of hillsides. Opening home ownership to a larger segment of the population promotes economic growth and long-term residency. Increased residential density promotes transit use, which decreases traffic and carbon emissions. Development of additional housing within the existing service areas makes better use of existing facilities and reduces sprawl. The existing designation does not provide these benefits. C. How is the proposal in the best interest of the Ci The Applicant's proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and subsequent rezone of the property will bring the site into conformance with the previously described segments of the Comprehensive Plan. The current designation is non compliant with several important portions of the Plan. Approval of the alteration will allow development of a fee -simple townhouse neighborhood that will open up home ownership to a broader population base and support long-term residency. The Applicant's proposal is a market based approach to achieving the Comprehensive Planning Policies described above while respecting the natural environment.

C. I, January 27, 2020 Hans Korve 726 Auburn Way N Auburn, WA 98002 Subject: COMPLETE APPLICATION, CLARIFICATION REQUESTED —COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT (AMD20190008) Dear Mr. Korve: Thank you for submitting the required documentation and application fees for the above - referenced application; your application is complete according to ECDC 20.02.003. However, while the application is technically complete, additional information or clarification is required. Please address all comments by providing updated documents, as appropriate: Wetland Report. The wetland verification report prepared by Mark Heckert, of Beaver Creek Environmental Services, Inc., is inconsistent in its language. Please revise the language in the report so explanations regarding field observations, wetland and stream determinations, and findings and conclusions are consistent. F1 Field Observations. This section mentions an area at the NW corner of the site as "identified to have potentially hydric vegetation"; however, the next sentence states "Sample data (attached) shows no indication of hydric soils or hydrology." These sentences seem to be in conflict without further explanation. Additionally, no attachment was provided. F1 Wetland and Stream Determination. The statement, as written, can be interpreted in different ways and appear to be in conflict. Do the sample plots contain hydrophytic vegetation or not? Additionally, no information was provided regarding the stream across the street. Please explain the nature of this stream as it is within the boundaries of study and provide a statement regarding whether the street creates an interrupted buffer per ECDC 23.40.220.C.4. Packet Pg. 86 6.B.a F1 Findings and Conclusions. Again, the statement is in conflict. It states both, "...no area within 300 ft. of the site" met the criteria for wetland and "One area within 300 ft. of the site exhibited all three of the established criteria for designation as a wetland." As the process moves forward, the City may request additional information, if needed. The City will proceed with the associated public notice requirements once hearings are scheduled with Planning Board and City Council. However, please keep in mind that a complete response to this information request must be received within 90 days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.13). If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.

We deeply value our peace and quiet, and our privacy in this neighborhood, and many of us consider it our "reason for living here." We also have concerns regarding the erosion of the sandy loam soil beneath our residential roads, creating dangerous caverns. Several years ago a neighbor unknowingly stepped straight through the road into one of these. The news got around, and each of us have taken pains to reduce the frequency of heavy trucks and vehicles driving our residential streets. Any additional traffic to this area on a regular basis will only increase the risk of acceleration of this sub -street erosion. Please keep us in mind, and say no to application AMD2019-0008. Thank you for your time, Willow Gothard Packet Pg. 98 6.B.a From: Lark Gothard To: Shipley. Brad Subject: Opposition to Proposed Land Use Date: Sunday, August 16, 2020 2:53:33 PM I am writing this in hopes that my opposition to the "Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan Map" for the corner lot at Olympic View Drive and 76th Ave. W. will be heard. Our neighbor, Andrew,suggested we send a -mails opposing this plan before the public hearing on August 26th. Our family would be drastically affected should apartment buildings be permitted to be built in that space! We just love our home's privacy and serenity, two things which would disappear with this new construction. We just love living in Edmonds, Perrinville in particular, and truly hate the ramifications with which we must face if this proposed land development should take place! We would very much be in favor of preserving the single family zoning of this area. Perrinville is a UNIQUE SETTING WHERE THE WILDERNESS AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES COEXIST! We want to KEEP it this way!!!! Don't force your longtime family residents to flee Edmonds! Initially, when deciding to call Edmonds our "home", we were attracted to the arts, the music, the "vibe" of a small arts town. Hence, we have adapted our lifestyle to reflect these values. We are Artists, Musicians, Authors, Woodworkers. We really just love the perception of an arts community which has nurtured and supported us to create beautiful and inspirational things. I'm afraid that a multi -family development next door may compromise these endeavors. Thank you for listening, Lark Gothard Packet Pg. 99 6.B.a From: Solana Gothard To: Shipley, Brad Subject: Please Oppose Amendment Date: Sunday, August 16, 2020 1:36:51 PM Hello, I'm emailing to let you know that I am opposed to the amendment of the Comprehensive Plan Map for the corner lot at Olympic View Dr. and 76th Ave. W. If that land was to be developed, it would affect the privacy of quite a few homes in the neighborhood. It's also a place where wildlife passes through frequently, and I hope that can be protected. My neighbor Andrew said that instead of a petition, emails opposing this plan before the public hearing on Aug. 26th could help. Thanks! Solana Gothard Packet Pg. 100 6.B.a From: Andrew Koehn To: Shipley. Brad Subject: AMD2019-0008 question Date: Friday, August 14, 2020 8:34:36 AM Hello Mr Shipley, Our family recently received a letter regarding the AMD2019-0008 proposition to change an area of Perrinville from Neighborhood Commercial to Multi -Family -Medium Density. I was hoping you could help clarify what that new designation means exactly. I'm assuming the intention is to build apartments on that lot. As we have watched the Perrinville shops become more thriving over the last few years, I was excited to see that the lot had been sold hoping it would expand to some additional businesses in the area, especially since I live within sight of the area in question. I would like to voice my opinion against this change as I'm sure some of my neighbors would as well. The letter said we have the right to comment on the application but no guidance as to how to do so. Since I have no experience in these matters, I was hoping you could give me some guidance as to what would be a productive way to weigh in on this hearing. I figured a neighborhood petition would be a good tool, would resident names/signatures be enough information or would they need to provide contact info, etc? Once collected, where/who should I turn a petition in to? Or in these days of social distancing is it better to just have people email their comments in, and if so should theyjust email them to you? Thank you very much for your time and guidance. -Andrew Koehn 425 210 1560 akoehn117CcDi?mail.com Packet Pg. 101 6.B.a of EED41 c/ ,1PF- C 121 5TH AVENUE NORTH, EDMONDS, WA 98020 (425) 771-0220 y WAC 197-11-970 Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE Description of proposal: Proponent proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan map designation for properties identified below from Neighborhood Commercial to Multi Family -Medium Density.

The center of the site is relatively flat with a significant slope along the eastern half of the site. (Refer to the attached site survey) What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The eastern portion of the property has an approximate slope of 40-60% along the east side of the site. This area of steep slopes is proposed to remain undisturbed. No buffer is required. A 15' BSBL is recommended from the toe of the slope. Please refer to the attached Geotech report for additional information. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. According to The geologic Map of Edmonds East and Part of the Edmonds West Quadrangles Washington. James P Minard (1983), the majority of the on -site soil as Advance Outwash (Qva). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) maps the soil in he vicinity of the site as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (3) soils that from at 15 to 30 percent slopes. Please refer to the attached geotechnical report for additional details. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No. No signs of accelerated soil erosion or deep-seated soil movement we observed during the site reconnaissance. No development is proposed on the eastern slope. Describe the purpose, type and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. No detailed grading information is available at this time. All work will be limited to the area of the proposed development. No work on the eastern portion of the site is proposed. More specific information will be available during the Engineering design phase. Omnia Homes Comp Plan & Rezone 18-430 l EVALUATION FOR AGENCY USE ONLY Packet Pg. 108 6.B.a City of Edmonds Planning Department Environmental Checklist — Page 6 Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. The Alderwood soils are classified as being moderately resistant to erosion when exposed. Some erosion could occur on -site as a result of construction activities; however, temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures will be employed to reduce erosion impacts. All construction during the wet season will comply with the adopted Surface Water Design provisions concerning site coverage techniques. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? There will be approximately 45% impervious surface. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any. During construction, the contractor will follow an approved temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan meeting City of Edmonds standards. Typical measures, which may be employed, include the use of silt fences, straw bales, and temporary storm drainage features. Hydroseeding exposed soils and cleared areas after construction will also reduce the potential for erosion. All construction during the wet season will comply with the City of Edmonds Construction Standards and the most recently adopted version of the Surface Water Design Manual concerning site coverage techniques. Only limited site work is proposed. 2. Air a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Construction: Emissions and dust particulates generated primarily by construction equipment will be produced during the construction phase of this project. The amount of emissions to the air will be minimal and will occur during the actual construction of the development. Omnia Homes Comp Plan & Rezone EVALUATION FOR AGENCY USE ONLY 18-430 Packet Pg. 109 6.B.a City of Edmonds Planning Department Environmental Checklist — Page 7 Long Term Air Quality: Long-term air impacts would be those typically associated with residential land uses. Sources of long-term emissions and odor could include vehicle emissions from increased vehicle use generated by the new residential units and emissions from wood burning fireplaces (if permitted). The additional vehicular emissions in these areas are not anticipated to concentrate and therefore are not anticipated to create a health hazard to the residents or surrounding areas. b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. NO Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any. If particulates become suspended during construction, frequent watering of the site during the construction phase of the project would be used to help control dust and other particulates generated on the site. This will be accomplished in accord with City of Edmonds Construction Standards and the most recently adopted version of the Surface Water Design Manual. 3. Water a. Surface: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. Perrinville Creek is piped through the majority of the US Post Office property on the west side of 76th Ave. W. The proposed rezone and development will have no impact. 2) Will the project require any work over, in or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (do not use this sheet for project actions) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a r faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. E c E 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; a emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? The proposed Comp Plan & Rezone would allow for the a construction of townhouses rather than Neighborhood Business. Residential development generally creates fewer ✓ peak hour trips then commercial development. Storm water L will be addressed by the same applicable code sections. There will be no likely increase in discharges to water, air or C U release of toxins Proposal measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: E No increase is anticipated. Follow all applicable codes and r ordinances. Construct roads and storm water facilities a according to the applicable standards. 3 L 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or O Q marine life? The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and r U' r subsequent rezone from commercial to residential will not have a negative impact on plants animals or fish. The s applicable sensitive area, storm water and road standards .2 are the same. r a Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: V Follow the applicable codes and ordinances. Omnia Homes Comp Plan & Rezone 18-430 20 Packet Pg. 123 City of Edmonds Planning Department Environmental Checklist - Page 21 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The impact will be similar to any other residential development. Residential uses generally use less energy doing peak hour days and use more in the evening at off peak hours. This is generally the reverse of commercial uses. All structures will meet the applicable energy codes. Increased urban density supports transit use. New residents will be within walking distance of the adjacent commercial uses. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: All structures will meet the applicable energy codes. Tree preservation will be in accordance to the applicable code section. Construction of roads and storm water facilities will be in accordance with the applicable standards 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and subsequent Rezone will have no additional impact on the environment. The eastern portion of the project will remain undeveloped under either designation. The amount of land developed will be identical under either designation. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: The proposed development will provide a 15' BSBL at the toe of the slope as recommended in the attached Geotech report. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The proposed alteration will have likely negative impact.

How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? The proposed Comp Plan /Rezone would increase the need for public services by increasing urban density. Increased urban density promotes Transit use. The subject parcel is an infill development and the extension of public services is not required. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Increased urban density promotes Transit use. All structures will meet the applicable energy codes. Traffic impact fees will offset any additional impacts to the public road network. All other identified impacts will be offset by applicable impact fees. 7.

The site is flat and rolling in the west and sharply elevated in the east. The site has been cleared and graded flat in the west portion. Veg in the flat area is Himalayan blackberryand Scottsbroom. Most of the area is bare ground. Plant community is entirely initial regrowth from clearing and is upland. As identified at several sample plots throughout the site the soil was a sand and did not exhibit redoximorphic features. Field indicators of wetland hydrology were also absent. An area in the northwest corner of the site was purported in previous assessment to have potentially hydric vegetation .i.e. equisetum. The area was examined for wetland characteristics. Sample data (attached) shows no indication of hydric soils or hydrology. WETLAND AND STREAM DETERMINATION Wetland condition is determined by sample plots which contain hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology in accordance with the CoE Manual. Based on these methods no wetland was identified on the site, andno wetland was identified on the adjacent sites. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Onsite assessment was completed on September 15,2018following the methods and procedures defined within theCoE Manual, City of Edmonds Regs., and the WDNR Forest Practice Rules. This assessment identified thatNOarea within 300 ft. of the site boundariesexhibited all three of the established criteria for designation as "wetland". One area within 300 ft. of the site boundaries exhibited all three of the established criteria for designation as astream. Perrinville Creek occurs offsite approximately 80 ft. to the west, across 76th Ave. W. The standard buffer for this stream is truncated by the roadbed of 76th Ave. w. and is diminished by the road location. The stream is functionally detached from the project site and will not be impacted by development of this site. Thank you for allowing BCES the opportunity to assist with this project.

Edmonds, Washington PN:00370800300701 Dear Mr. Singh, As requested, we have conducted a preliminary geoteclinical study for the subject project. The attached report presents our findings and reconunendations for the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction. Our field exploration indicates the site is generally underlain with 0.0 to 1.5 feet of disturbed native soils overlying medium dense to dense, native sand with trace amounts of silt consistent with Advance Outwash. We did not observe any groundwater seepage to the depths explored. In our opinion, the soil and groundwater conditions at the site are suitable for the planned development. The new structures can be supported on typical spread footing foundations bearing on the existing organic -free native soils observed immediately below surface grades, or on structural fill placed above these soils. We reconuneud a 15-foot building setback from the toe of the slope to the planned new structures. With the recommended building setback established, no ` buffer is necessary. Detailed recommendations addressing these issues and other geotecln ical design considerations are presented in the attached report. We trust the information presented is sufficient for your current needs. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call.

Edmonds, Washington 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project will consist of a residential development. Detailed building plans were not available at the time of our study. We discussed the planned development with the site owner. Based on these discussions, we understand the site will be divided into three residential lots. Each lot will be developed with a new single-family residence. The new residences will likely be two to three- story wood -framed structures with raised floors constructed over a crawl space. The attached garages will have slab -on -grade floors. The new residences will face 76" Avenue West. A steep slope up to the east exists along the eastern end of the site. Access to the site will be from 761h Avenue West. Storm water collected on the site will discharge to the existing City of Edmonds storm water system located adjacent the site. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on our understanding of the above stated site. If actual site conditions differ, the planned project design features are different than we expect, or if changes are made, we should review them in order to modify or supplement our conclusions and recommendations as necessary. 2.0 SCOPE On August 7, 2018, we excavated three hand -augured test holes to a maximum depth of 7.0 feet below surface grades. Using the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, we developed geotechnical design and construction recommendations for the project. Specifically, this report addresses the following: Q Reviewing the available geologic, hydrogeologic and geotechnical data for the site area, and conducting a geologic reconnaissance of the site area. ® Addressing the appropriate geotechnical regulatory requirements for the planned site development, including a Geologic Hazard evaluation. Q Advancing three hand -augured test holes in the planned new development area to a maximum depth of 7.0 feet below surface grades. Providing geotechmical recommendations for site grading including site preparation, subgrade preparation, fill placement criteria, suitability of on -site soils for use as structural fill, temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes, and drainage and erosion control measures. o Providing geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of new foundations and floor slabs, including allowable bearing capacity and estimates of settlement. Providing geotechnical recommendations for lower level building or.retaining walls, including backfill and drainage requirements, lateral design loads, and lateral resistance values. Ages Engineering, LLC'Page 1 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 135 IL 6.B.a Providing an evaluation of the steep slopes on the site. m Providing recommendations for site drainage. It should be noted that our work does not include services related to environmental remediation or design and performance issues related to moisture intrusion through walls. An appropriate design professional or qualified contractor should be contacted to address these issues. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS 3.1 Surface The subject site is a rectangular -shaped residential parcel located at 183xx 76`1 Avenue West in Edmonds, Washington. The subject site is currently unoccupied. The site is bordered with existing residential lots to the east, a commercial building to the north and south, and by 7611 Avenue West to the west. The location of the site is shown on the Site Vicinity Map provided in Figure 1. The current site Layout is shown on the Exploration Location Plan provided in Figure 2. A steep slope up to the east exists along the eastern end of the site. The eastern sloping area slopes tap to the east at surface inclinations ranging from 40 to 60 percent. A flat area extends from the toe of the slope to 7611, Avenue West. The western end of the site adjacent 67" Avenue West has a short slope down to the west. Site vegetation consists of blackberry and various low growing bushes along the cent er of the site. Along the western end of the site, and along the edges of the slope area, we observed typical deciduous and evergreen trees. 3.2 Mapped Soils According to Vie Geologic Map of Edmonds East and Part of the Ednionds TVest Quadrangles, Ui'ashington, James P. Minard (1983), the soil in the vicinity of the site is mapped as Advance Outwash (Qva). The Advance Outwash was deposited durnig the Vashon stade of the Fraser glaciation approximately 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. The Advance outwash was deposited by meltwaters and streams emanating from the advancing glacial ice mass during brief periods of warming. These glacial deposits were consequently overridden by the glacial ice sheet and therefore will typically be found in a dense condition where undisturbed. The near surface soils at the site have been disturbed by natural weathering processes that have occurred since their. deposition. No springs or groundwater seepage was observed on the surface of the site at the time of our site visit. A copy of the Geologic Map for the subject site is provided in Figure 3. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) maps the soils in the vicinity of the site as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (3) soils that form on 15 to 30 percent slopes. According to the NRCS the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam soils at the site are described as being formed as glacial drift or glacial outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits. The Alderwood soils are classified as having a "moderate" to "severe" potential for erosion when exposed. Ages Engineering, LLC — 1'a�e 22 c 253-845-700o Packet Pg. 136 6.B.a 3.3 ,Soils The soils we observed at the site generally consist of 0.0 to 1.5 feet of disturbed native soils overlying sand with silt consistent with Advance Outwash. In Test Hole TH-1 and TH-2, located in the flat areas on the site, we encountered 1.0 and 1.5 feet, respectively, of disturbed native soils. Below 1.0 to 1.5 feet in Test Holes TH-1 and TH-2, and in Test Hole TH-3, we encountered native fine- to medium -grained sand with trace amounts of silt consistent with Advance Outwash. The Advance Outwash was medium dense and weathered in the upper portions. The dense unweathered Advance Outwash was encountered at a depth of 7.0 feet below surface grades. Figures A-1 and A-2 present more detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered in the test holes. The approximate test hole locations are shown on the Exploration Location Plan provided in Figure 2. 3.4 Groundwater We did not encounter groundwater seepage in any of the test holes excavated on the site, However, we expect a water table exists beneath the site. The groundwater levels and flow rates will fluctuate seasonally and typically reach their highest levels during and shortly following the wet winter months (October through May). 4.0 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS 4.1 General According to Chapter 23.80 in the City of Edmonds Municipal Code geologic hazard areas include "areas susceptible to erosion, land sliding, earthquake, or other geological events. They pose a threat to the health and safety of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of significant hazard. Such incompatible development may not only place itself at risk, but also may increase the hazard to surrounding development and use. Areas susceptible to one or more of the following types of hazards shall be designated as a geologically hazardous area: A. Erosion hazard; B. Landslide hazard; and C. Seismic hazard. [Ord. 4026 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3527 2, 2004]." 4.2 Landslide According to the City of Edmonds Municipal Code 23.80,020, landslide hazard areas are defined as: "areas potentially subject to landslides based on a combination of geologic, topographic, and hydrologic factors. They include areas susceptible because of any combination of soil, slope (gradient), slope aspect, structure, hydrology, or other factors. Within the city of Edmonds potential landslide hazard areas include: Ages Engineerine, LLC Page 3 253-345-700p Packet Pg. 137 1. Areas of ancient or historic failures in Edmonds which include all areas within the earth subsidence and landslide hazard area as identified in the 1979 report of Robert Lowe Associates and amended by the 1985 report of GeoEngineers, Inc., and further discussed in the 2007 report by Landau Associates; 2. Coastal areas mapped as class u (unstable), uos (unstable old slides), and urs (unstable recent slides) in the Department of Ecology Washington coastal atlas; 3. Areas designated as quaternary slumps, earthflows, mud -flows, or landslides on maps published by the United States Geological Survey or Washington State Department of Natural Resources; 4. Any slope of 40 percent or steeper that exceeds a vertical height of 10 feet over a 25- foot horizontal run. Except for rockeries that have been engineered and approved by the engineer as having been built according to the engineered design, all other modified slopes (including slopes where there are breaks in slopes) meeting overall average steepness and height criteria should be considered potential landslide hazard areas); Any slope with all three of the following characteristics: a. Slopes steeper than 15 percent; b. Hillsides intersecting geologic contacts with a relatively permeable sediment overlying a relatively impermeable sediment; and C. Springs or ground water seepage; 6. Any area potentially unstable as a result of rapid stream incision or stream bank erosion; 7. Any area located on an alluvial fan, presently subject to, or potentially subject to, inundation by debris flow or deposition of stream -transported sediments; and Any slopes that have been modified by past development activity that still meet the slope criteria." Based on our document research, we found no areas on the site mapped as areas of historic slope failures. The site is not located along a shoreline and therefore is not mapped by the Washington State Department of Ecology Coastal Zone Atlas. The United States Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources maps have not designated any areas as quaternary slumps, earthflows, mudflows, or landslides. The site does not have a stream running thr-u it, therefore no rapid stream incision or stream bank erosion. We did not observe any areas with topographic expression of runout zones, such as fans and colluvial deposition at the toes of hillsides. The sites' eastern slope area exceeds 15 percent but have no groundwater seepage or springs, and do not have intersecting contacts with a relatively permeable sediment overlying a relatively impermeable sediment. The sites' eastern slope area exceeds 40 percent and has a vertical height of over 10 feet for a 25-foot horizontal run. The sites' eastern slope area may have been cut to its current inclination by past grading activities on the site. Abe;; Engineering. LLl'Page 4 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 138 6.B.a Based on the current inclination of the sites' eastern slope area exceeding 40 percent, the site is classified as a landslide hazard area. However, the site is underlain with medium dense to dense sand with trace aniounts of silt consistent with Advance Outwash that will exhibit a relatively high shear strength and low compressibility, even in a sloping environment. We estimate the friction angle of the native Advance Outwash sands is approximately 36-degrees. And based on our site measurements, the sites' eastern slope area in inclined at an approximate 35-degree angle. Based on these parameters, the slope is currently at the soils fiction angle. A soils friction angle is based on the principle that when a soil is gradually piled, the natural side slopes of the pile will be representative of the soils friction angle. If piles steeper than the friction angle are made, and no other factor are present, the soil will eventually erode until its side slope equp] its friction angle. The natural cohesion of the soil will increase the internal strength of the soil allowing it to stand stable at a much steeper configuration. Based on these factors, we expect the sites' eastern slope is stable from a global perspective. Provided surface water is controlled on the site, and all structures are provided with proper subsurface drainage measures, the potential for a landslide to occur at this site should be considered very low. 4.3 Seismic According to the City of Edmonds Municipal Code 23.80,020, the City of Edmonds defines seismic hazard areas as, "In addition to liquefaction -prone areas described in subsection 2 above, seismic hazard areas are the following: a. Areas of the City subject to ground shaking from seismic hazards that are addressed by the Building Code (SMC Title 22). b. The Seattle Fault zone as delineated in Troost et al., 2005, The geologic map of Seattle, a progress report, U.S. Geological Survey, Open -file report 2005-1252 or as the Director determines is more accurately mapped by the U.S Geological Survey, as set out in a Director's Rule." The site is located north of the Seattle Fault zone. The site is located in an area underlain with medium dense to dense compact glacially consolidated soils. Liquefaction can be described as a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength due to an increase in pore water, pressure. The increase in water pressure is typically induced by vibrations. Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of loose, tine - grained sands that are below the groundwater table. Based on the relative density and well -graded nature of the soils underlying the site, the risk for liquefaction to occur at the site should be considered negligible. The state of Washington has adopted the International Building Code (IBC). Based on the soil conditions encountered and the local geology, per the (IBC) site class "D" can be used in structural design. This is based on the inferred range of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) blow counts for the upper 100 feet of the site relative to hand excavation progress and probing with a '/z-inch diameter steel probe rod. The presence of glacially consolidated soil conditions were assumed to be representative for the site conditions beyond the depths explored. Ages Engineering. LLC - Page 5 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 139 6.B.a 4.4 Erosion According to the City of Edmonds' Municipal Code 23.80.020, defines an Erosion Hazard Area as "those areas identified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service as having a "moderate to severe," "severe," or "very severe" rill and inter -rill erosion hazard. Erosion hazard areas are also those areas impacted by shoreland and/or stream bank erosion. Within the city of Edmonds erosion hazard areas include: 1. Those areas of the city of Edmonds containing soils that may experience severe to very severe erosion hazard. This group of soils includes, but is not limited to, the following when they occur on slopes of 15 percent or greater: a. Alderwood soils (15 to 25 percent slopes); b. Alderwood/Everett series (25 to 70 percent slopes); C. Everett series (15 to 25 percent slopes); 2. Coastal and stream erosion areas which are subject to the impacts from lateral erosion related to moving water such as stream channel migration and shoreline retreat: 3. Any area with slopes of 15 percent or greater and .impermeable soils interbedded with granular soils and springs or ground water seepage; and 4. Areas with significant visible evidence of ground water seepage, and which also include existing landslide deposits regardless of slope. The site is mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (15 to 25 percent slopes) which has a moderate to severe potential for erosion when exposed. Based on the USDA classification of the site, the sites' eastern slope area is classified as an erosion hazard area. No development is planned in the sloping eastern end of the site. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) .measures must be in place prior to and maintained during construction activity at the site. In our opinion, the potential .for erosion is not a limiting factor in site development. Erosion hazards can be mitigated by applying Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Washington State Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Sformwaler Management Manual fvr YYestern Washington. TESC measures, in accordance with the City of Edmonds, must be in place prior to beginning construction on the site. 5.0 CC)NCLElSIONS AND I1ECCI10'M-ENDATIONS 5.1 General Based on our study, in our opinion, soil and groundwater conditions at the site are suitable for the proposed development. The new strictures can be supported on conventional spread footings Ages iugineerint,.LLC ..._.,__<a.._._,�,........,,......,,....,...�.�....�._�..n._.,.�.��_....-.�..a,.R.......�e..,.�__..........,,...a,� Pngz 253-S45-700o Packet Pg. 140 6.B.a bearing on the existing organic -free native site soils, or on structural fill placed above these existing soils. Floor stabs and pavements should be similarly supported. The native soils encountered at the site contain a high enough percentage of fines (silt and clay - size particles) that will make them difficult to compact as struchiral fill when too wet. Accordingly, the ability to use the soils from site excavations as structural fill will depend on their moisture content and the prevailing weather conditions at the time of construction. If grading activities will take place during the winter season, the owner should be prepared to import free -draining granular material for use as structural fill and backfill. The following sections provide detailed recommendations regarding these issues and other geotechnical design considerations. These recommendations should be incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications. 5.2 Development in Erosion and Landslide Hazard Areas According to ECDC 23.80.070, the City of Edmonds does allow development on sites containing erosion or landslide hazard areas. The general requirement re as follows: 1. Minimum Building Setback. The minimum setback shall be the distance required to ensure the proposed structure will not be at risk from landslides for the life of the structure, considered to be 120 years, and will not cause an increased risk of landslides taking place on or off the site. A setback shall be established from all edges of landslide hazard areas. The size of the setback shall be determined by the director consistent with recommendations provided in the geotechnical report to eliminate or minimize the risk of property damage, death, or injury resulting from landslides caused in whole or part by the development, based upon review of and concurrence with a critical areas report prepared by a qualified professional; 2. Buffer Requirements. A buffer may be established with specific requirements and limitations, including but not limited to, drainage, grading, irrigation, and vegetation. Buffer requirements shall be determined by the director consistent with recommendations provided in the geotechnical report to eliminate or minimize the risk of property damage, death, or injury resulting from landslides caused in whole or part by activities within the buffer area, based upon review of and concurrence with a critical areas report prepared by a qualified professional: 3. Alterations. Alterations of an erosion or landslide hazard area, minimum building setback and/or buffer may only occur for activities for which a hazards analysis is submitted and certifies that: a. The alteration will not increase surface water discharge or sedimentation to adjacent properties beyond predevelopment conditions; b. The alteration will not decrease slope stability on adjacent properties; and Ages Eugineering, LLC , � Page 7 253-845-700o Packet Pg. 141 c. Such alterations will not adversely impact other critical areas; Based on our understanding of the planned development, the sites' eastern slope area will not be developed. The new development will be in the flat areas along the toe of the slope. Accordingly, to protect the site from the erosion and landslide hazard associated with the eastern slope area, we recommend a Building Setback equal to 15.0 feet. With the Building Setback established, no Buffer is necessary. 5.3 Site Preparation and Grading To prepare the site for construction, all vegetation, organic surface soils, and other deleterious materials including any existing structures, foundations or abandoned utility lines should be stripped and removed from the new development areas. Organic topsoil will not be suitable for use as structural fill, but may be used for limited depths in non-structural areas. Once clearing and stripping operations are complete, cut and fill operations can be initiated to establish desired grades. In order- to achieve proper compaction of structural fill, and to provide adequate foundation and floor slab support, the native subgrade must be in a stable condition. Prior to placing structural fill, and to prepare the foundation subgrade, all exposed surfaces should be compacted with heavy vibratory compaction equipment to determine if any isolated soft and yielding areas are present. If excessively soft or yielding areas are present., and cannot be stabilized in place by compaction, they should be cut to firm bearing soil and filled to grade with structural fill. If the depth to remove the unsuitable soil is excessive, using a geotextile fabric can be considered, such as Mirafi HP270 or an approved equivalent, in conjunction with structural fill. In general, a minimum of 18-inches of clean, granular structural fill over the geotextile fabric should establish a stable bearing surface. A representative of Ages Engineering, LLC should observe the foundation subgrade compaction operations to verify that stable subgrades are achieved for support of structural elements. Our study indicates the native surface soils encountered at the site contain a sufficient enough percentage of fines (silt and clay -size particles) that will make them difficult to compact as structural fill when too wet. Accordingly, the ability to use the soils from site excavations as structural fill will depend on their moisture content and the prevailing weather conditions at the time of construction. If grading activities are planned during the wet winter months, or the on - site soils become too wet to achieve adequate compaction, the owner should be prepared to import a wet -weather structural fill. For wet weather structural fill, we recommend importing a granular soil that mects the following gradation requirements: U. S. Sieve Size Percent Passim 6 inches 100 No. 4 75 maximum No. 200 5 maximum Based on the % inch fraction AgesEngineering, LLt_' _-....,,.,..Q...�......m.�—,.�..,.._a�__�.,.,�..F..,..-..-.._...,.......a.�...�_�.�..�.� Page R 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 142 6.B.a Prior to use, Ages Engineering, LLC should examine and test all materials to be imported to the site for use as structural fill. Structural fill should be placed in uniform loose layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the soils' laboratory maximum dry density as determined by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Designation D-1557 (Modified Proctor). The moisture content of the soil at the time of compaction should be within two percent of its optimum, as determined by this same ASTM standard. In non-structural areas, the degree of compaction can be reduced to 90 percent. 5.4 Excavations Gerrefrrl, The inclination for a safe and stable excavation slope cut is determined based on two factors, the current Washington State Safety and Health Administration (WSHA) regulations for confined spaces and global stability of the slope cut. Most often, the WSHA regulations are more conservative than the global stability requirements. According to WAC 296-809-099, a confined space is defined as: "A space that is all of the following: (a) Large enough and arranged so an employee could fully enter the space and work. (b) Has limited or restricted entry or exit. Examples of spaces with limited or restricted entry are tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, excavations, and pits. (e) Not primarily designed for human occupancy." In the context of site excavation and grading, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries considers a confined space as a space in which a worker enters an excavation that is tall enough and/or narrow enough to inundate the worker and cause bodily harm if a cave-in occurs. This does not include excavations that are less than 4.0 feet in depth. WSWA Approved Slopes, All excavations at the site associated with confined spaces, such as utility trenches and lower level building and retaining walls, must be completed in accordance with local, state, and/or federal requirements. Based on current Washington State Safety and Health Admuustration (WSHA) regulations, the existing near -surface loose to medium dense disturbed soils and the weathered medium dense Advance Outwash soils observed in the upper 7.0 feet below surface grades would be classified as Type C soils. The deeper dense native Advance Outwash soils observed below 7.0 feet would be classified as Type B soils. According to WSHA, for temporary excavations of less than 20 feet in depth, the side slopes in Type C soils should be laid back at a slope inclination of 1.5:1 (Ho.rizontal:Vertical) or flatter from the toe to the crest of the slope and the side slopes .in Type B soils sholdd be laid back at a slope inclination of 1:.1 (Horizontal: Vertical) or flatter from the toe to the crest of the slope. All Ages Engineering. LLC Page 9 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 143 6.B.a exposed slope faces should be covered with a durable reinforced plastic membrane during construction to prevent slope raveling and nutting during periods of precipitation. These guidelines assume that all surface loads are kept at a minimum distance of at least one half the depth of the cut away from the top of the excavation slope and that significant seepage is not present on the slope face. Flatter cut slopes will be necessary where significant raveling or seepage occurs, or if construction materials will be stockpiled along the slope crest. If these safe temporary slope inclinations cannot be achieved due to property line constraints, shoring may be necessary. Non_if MA Approveil ,''lopes, Based on the composition and consistency of the site soils, stable slope cuts to provide adequate global stability can be steeper than WSHA standards in areas that are not considered confined spaces. Excavations into the native site soils that will not result in WSHA regulated confined spaces can be cut to an inclination of 0.5:1. Some raveling of the gravel and cobbles exposed on the slope surface may occur at an inclination of 0.5:1. Due to the potential for raveling to occur, and to prevent erosion, the slope face should be covered with durable plastic sheeting. This information is provided solely for the benefit of the owner and other design consultants; and should not be construed to imply that Ages Engineering, LLC assumes responsibility for job site safety. It is understood that job site safety is the sole responsibility of the project contractor. 5.5 Foundations The new residential foundations may be supported on conventional spread footing .foundations bearing on the competent native organic -free soils or on structural fills placed above these native soils. Foundation subgrades should be prepared as reconmiended in the "Site Preparation and Grading" section of this report. Perimeter foundations exposed to the weather should bear at a minimum depth of 1.5 feet below final exterior grades for frost protection. Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient depth below the floor slab. We recommend designing new foundations for a net allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf). For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a one-third increase in this allowable capacity can be used. With the anticipated loads and this bearing stress applied, building settlements should be less than one-half inch total and one -quarter inch differential. For designing foundations to resist lateral loads, a base friction coefficient of 0.35 can be used. Passive earth pressures acting on the sides of the footings can also be considered. We recommend calculating this lateral resistance using an equivalent fluid weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot (pef). We recommend not including the upper 12 inches of soil in this computation because it can be affected by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. This value assumes the foundations will be constructed neat against competent soil and backfilled with structural fill, as described in the "Site Preparation and Grading" section of this report. The values recorrunended include a safety factor of I.S. Aces Engineering. LLC Page 10 253-845-7000 Packet Pg. 144 it Foundation Parameter Surninai Description `--Design Value Net Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,500 psf Friction Coefficient 0,35 Lateral Resistance 300 pcf VDetails regarding the use of these parameters are provided in the section above. 5.6 Slab -On -Grade Slab -on -grade floors should be supported on subgrades prepared as recommended in the "Site Preparation and Grading" section of this report. Immediately below the floor slab, we recommend placing a four -inch thick capillary break layer of clean, free -draining, coarse sand or fine gravel that ,has less than three percent passing the No. 200 sieve. This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water tluough the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slabs. The drainage material should be placed in one lift and compacted to a firm and unyielding condition. The capillary break layer will not prevent moisture intrusion through the slab caused by water vapor transmission. Where moisture by vapor transmission is undesirable, such as covered floor areas, a common practice is to place a durable plastic membrane on the capillary break layer and then cover the membrane with a layer of clean sand or fine gravel to protect it from damage during construction, and aid in uniform curing of the concrete slab. It should be noted that if the sand or gravel layer overlying the membrane is saturated prior to pouring the slab, it will not assist in uniform curing of the slab, and may serve as a water supply for moisture transmission through the slab and affecting floor coverings. Additionally, if the sand is too dry, it can effectively drain the fresh concrete, thereby lowering its strength. Therefore, in our opinion, covering the membrane with a layer of sand or gravel should be avoided. 5.7 Lower Level and Building Walls The magnitude of earth pressure development on below -grade walls, such as basement or retaining walls, will greatly depend on the quality of the wall backfill and the wall drainage. We recommend placing and compacting wall backfill as structural fill. Wall backfill below structurally loaded areas, such as pavements or floor slabs, should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of its maximurn dry density, as determined by ASTM Test Designation D-1557 (Modified Proctor). In unimproved areas, the relative compaction can be reduced to 90 percent. To guard against hydrostatic pressure development, drainage must be installed behind the wall. We recommend that wall drainage consist of a minimum 12 inches of clean sand and/or gravel with less than three percent fines placed against the back of the wall. In addition, a drainage collector system consisting of 4-inch perforated PVC pipe should be placed behind the wall to provide an outlet for any accumulated water. The drains should be provided with cleanouts at easily accessible locations- These cleanouts should be serviced at least once every year. The wall Ages Engineering. LLI; Page 11 253-845-700(1 Packet Pg. 145 6.B.a drainage material should be capped at the ground surface with i-foot of relatively impenrteable soil to prevent surface intrusion into the drainage zone. Alternatively, the 12-inch wide drainage layer placed against the back of the wall can be replaced with a Mirafi G104N Drainage Board, or an approved equivalent. If drainage board is used, the 4-inch perforated PVC pipe should be covered with at least 12 inches of clean washed gravel and the drainage board should be hydraulically corulected to drainpipe and surrounding gravel, With wall backfill placed and compacted as recommended and the wall drainage properly installed, unrestrained walls can be designed for an active earth pressure equivalent to a fluid weighing 35 pcf. For restrained walls, an additional uniform lateral pressure of 100 psf should be included. These values assume a horizontal backfill condition and that no other surcharge loading, such as traffic, sloping embankments, or adjacent buildings, will act on the wall. If such conditions exist, then the imposed loading must be included in the wall design. Friction at the base of the wall foundation and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to these lateral loads. Values for these parameters are provided in the "Foundations" section of this report. Lower Level Buildin and Retaining Walt Parameter Summary Description Condition *Design Value Earth Pressure Unrestrained 35 pef Earth Pressure Restrained Additional 100 psf Earth Pressure Surcharge Dependant upon magnitude "Details regarding the use of these parameters are provided in the section above. 5.8 Storm Water The storm water collected in the roof and foundation drains should discharge off of the site to the existing City of Edmonds storm water system adjacent the site. 5.9 Permanent Slopes and Embankments All permanent cut and fill slopes should be graded with a finished inclination of no greater than 2:1 (Horizontal: Vertical). Upon completion of grading, the slope face should be appropriately vegetated or provided with other physical means to guard against erosion. Final grades at the top of the slope must promote surface drainage away from the slope crest. Water must not be allowed to flow in an uncontrolled fashion over the slope face. If it is necessary to direct surface runoff towards the slope, it should be controlled at the top of the slope, piped in a closed conduit .installed on the slope face, and taken to an appropriate point of discharge beyond the toe. All fill used for slope and embankment construction should meet the structural fill requirements described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report. In addition, if new fills will be placed over existing slopes of 20 percent or greater, the structural fill should be keyed and benched into competent slope soils. Ages Luginczrim,. LLC I'a,e 12 253-E45-700o Packet Pg. 146 6.B.a 5.10 Site Drainage Sits face, Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the building area. All ground surfaces, pavements, and sidewalks should be sloped away from the structure. We recommend providing a gradient of at least three percent for a minimum distance of ten feet from the building perimeter, except in paved locations. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of one percent should be provided, unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water adjacent to the structure. Subsurface, We recommend installing a continuous drain along the lower outside edge of the perimeter building foundation. The foundation drain should be tightlined to an approved point of controlled discharge. The roof drain should not be connected to the footing drains unless a backflow device will be installed, or an adequate gradient will prevent backflow into the footing drains. Subsurface drains must be laid with a gradient sufficient to promote positive flow to the point of discharge. All drains should be provided with cleanouts at easily accessible locations. These cleanouts should be serviced at least once every year. 6.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES Ages Engineering, LLC should review the final project designs and specifications in order to verify that earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated into project design. If changes are made in the loads, grades, locations, configura- tions or types of facilities to be constructed, the conclusions and recommendations presented in this report may not be fully applicable. If such changes are made, we should be given the opportunity to review our recommendations and provide written modifications or verifications, as necessary. We should also provide geotechnical services during construction to observe compliance with our design concepts, specifications, and recommendations, This will allow for expedient design changes if subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. 7.0 LIMITATIONS We prepared this report in accordance vvith generally accepted geoteclinical engineering practices.

The approximate test hole locations are shown on the Exploration Location Plan provided in Figure 2. A geotechnical engineering representative from our office conducted the field exploration, maintained a log of each test hole and, classified the soils encountered, collected representative soil samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) described on Figure A-l. The test hole lobs are presented on Figure A-2. Representative soil samples obtained from the test holes were placed in sealed containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. The moisture content of each sample was measured and is reported on the test hole logs.
