RE: COMPLETENESS REVIEW FOR EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA
,SUBMITTAL PACKAGE
HAMMOND SFR — 15605 75TH PLACE WEST
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
This technical memorandum provides our assessment of the completeness of the geotechnical
portions of the permit submittal package submitted to the City of Edmonds (City) for the proposed
referenced development within the Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area (ESLHA) of North
Edmonds. This completeness review was accomplished in accordance with Task Order No. 09-02 of
Landau Associates' On -Call Geotechnical Engineering Services Agreement with the City.
The completeness review is not intended to be a thorough review of the permit submittal package;
instead, it is intended to be a cursory review to assess whether the submittal appears to contain the
necessary information in order to complete a geotechnical peer review in accordance with Edmonds
Community Development Code Chapter ECDC 19.10. As a guide in assessing the completeness of the
package, we referred to the ESLHA Permit Submittal Checklist.
On the basis of our cursory review, it appears that the submittal package contains a reasonably
comprehensive geotechnical report and supporting documents appropriate to assess the planned
construction within the ESLHA.
Our cursory review did not identify other missing items that are required under ECDC 19.10. Of
course, once the more detailed geotechnical peer review is underway, there may be specific items within
the submitted documents that need to be clarified or addressed in order to complete the geotechnical peer
review and recommend approval.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this completeness review and when you are
ready for us to commence our geotechnical peer review.
