CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
Site Location: Lot B of Dennis Hania Short Plat
174XX — 76tt' Avenue W.
Determination: Study Required
icant: Vasiliy Kozorezov
Tax Acct. Number: 00513100014111
Determination #: CA -05-177
Owner: Fra. R.
CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT: STUDY REQUIRED (CA -05-177)
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was. found that the site may contain critical
areas, including a Wetland and a Stream pursuant to Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC).
GENERAL CRITICAL AREAS REPORT REQUIREMENTS
Critical Areas Reports identify, classify and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject
property that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess these areas and identify any
potential impacts resulting from your specific development proposal. If a specific development
proposal results in an alteration to a critical area the critical areas report will also contain a
mitigation plan. You have the option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and
delineates the critical areas and waiting until you have a specific development proposal to
complete the study. You may also choose submit the entire study with your specific
development application.
Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas which are
listed in ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types
of critical areas (see below).
Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as
defined in the ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study
and an approved list of consultants that you may choose from. You may contact the
Planning Division for more information.
General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in ECDC 23.40.110
through 23.40.140.
REPORT REQUIREMENTS — STREAMS
An unnamed creek or its tributary is on or near the subject property.
• Streams are areas where surface waters produce a defined channel or bed which
demonstrates clear evidence of the passage of water. Streams need not contain water
year-round.
• Streams are regulated as types of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas.
• Streams are classified according to whether or not they run year round and whether or
not they support fish populations according to the classification -system listed in ECDC
23.90.010.A.1.
• The minimum buffer widths for streams vary depending on the type of stream and are
listed in ECDC 23.90.040.D.1.
• In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above,
specific Critical Areas report requirements for Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation
Areas are provided in ECDC 23.90.020.A to C and additional technical information
requirements for streams are listed in ECDC 23.90.020.D.
DEVELOPMENT. PROPOSALS ON A SITE WITH A STREAM
Development proposals that encroach into streams or their buffers or building setbacks may be
allowed through the approval of certain processes.
• The width of a stream buffer may be reduced through buffer enhancement if through the
review of a Stream Buffer Enhancement Plan that meets the specific requirements
referenced in ECDC 23.90.040.D.2. The maximum amount that a buffer can be reduced
through buffer enhancement is 50%.
• A buffer may also be modified through a process called buffer averaging. The criteria
applied to buffer averaging are listed in 23.90.040.D.2. The maximum amount that the
buffer width can be reduced at any single location through buffer averaging is 50%.
• Development proposals that propose encroachments into buffers beyond what is
allowed through the above methods require a Critical Areas Variance or a Reasonable
Use Exception. If you think that you have a proposal that may require one of these
processes, please contact a Planner for more information.
REPORT REQUIREMENTS — WETLANDS
Staff could not access the interior of the lot due to the dense vegetation, and was not clear if
the site did or did not contain a wetland. The hydrology of the site must be researched to
determine if any wetlands are on the site. Wetlands are areas inundated or saturated by
ground or surface water that support, under normal circumstances, vegetation adapted for life
in saturated soil.
• Wetlands are generally rated according to their size, condition, function, and vegetation
types into four (4) different categories described in ECDC 23.50.010 and by use of the
"City of Edmonds Wetland Field Data Form" by the critical areas consultant.
• Buffer widths for wetlands vary depending on the category of the wetland as listed in
ECDC 23.50.040.F.
• In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above,
there are specific Critical Areas report requirements for wetlands that are provided in
ECDC 23.50.030.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH WETLANDS
Development proposals that encroach into wetlands or their buffers or building setbacks may be
allowed through the approval of certain processes.
• The width of a wetland buffer may be reduced through buffer enhancement if the
criteria described in ECDC 23.50.040.F.3 can be met. The maximum amount that a
buffer can be reduced through buffer enhancement is 50%.
• A buffer may also be modified through a process called buffer averaging. The criteria
applied to buffer averaging are listed in ECDC 23.50.040.F.4. The maximum amount
that the buffer width can be reduced at any single location through buffer averaging is
50%.
• Development proposals that proposed encroachments into buffers beyond what is
allowed through the above methods require a Critical Areas Variance, or a Reasonable
Use Exception. If you think that you have a proposal that may .require one of these
processes, please contact a Planner for more information.
• Any time a development proposal requires an alteration 'to a wetland, a mitigation plan
is required as part of the Critical Areas report. In addition to the General Mitigation
requirements referenced above, mitigation requirements specific to wetlands are
provided in ECDC 23.50.050.
• NOTE: There are specific performance standards for the subdivision of lands in
wetlands and wetland buffers. These are listed in ECDC 23.50.060.
PA
ALLOWED ACTIVITIES
Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC
23.40.20. If you have any questions about whether your proposed development
qualifies as an allowed. activity, please contact a Planner for more information.
EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements
(ECDC 23.40.230). If you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt,
contact a Planner for more information.
