DEISHER SFR AT 7025 174 STREET SW (FIRST REVIEW)
Dear Mr. Deisher,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found that the
following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before review can continue:
Slope/Geotechnical Report:
1. You have changed house plans (to a manufactured home) and the site
plan and building footprint are different that what the original geotechnical engineer had reviewed.
Page 6 of the Nelson Geotechnical Report (File No. 393604) dated May 26, 2004 states: “The
proposed building setback of 35 feet from the top of the steep slope on the western lot could be
reduced to 25 feet, if desired, without impacting slope stability.” The current site plan shows the
proposed building at, in some areas, closer than 20 feet from the top of the slope (labeled TOS on
your site plan). We would just need to have a Geotechnical Engineer review the current plans (which
are different than what they had originally reviewed) and make a statement/recommendation on the
safety of the type of foundations proposed and the safety of the project, as well as a review of the
setbacks and the recommendations of your previous Geotechnical Report. I had heard that you were
planning on submitting an updated report from “Associated Earth Sciences” (?) – if you have this
report, please turn it in for us to review with your building permit application. Please do not hesitate
to contact me if you have any questions about Critical Areas.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please redline plans or submit two sets of revised plans/documents
(affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the above items. Please make all submittals to
the Development Services Permit Coordinator Monday through Friday, 9am to noon or 1pm to 4pm. If
you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (425) 771-0220, extension 1778. I look
forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS
Gina Coccia, Planner
