Project: SFR
Project Address: 16319 75' Pl W.
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the changes can
be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator.
1. The City of Edmonds' consulting engineer's comments are attached. No response is necessary
for the number one (1) comment, as apparently the consultant was not privy to your May 18,
2009 letter designating yourself as the lead design professional.
2. The May 18, 2009 letter stating that you are the designated lead design professional is required
to be stamped, as well as signed, per Item 10 of the ESLHA handout.
3. The comments below are in addition to the structural comments by the consultant:
a. Lateral EOR:
i. Provide a connection detail for the interior shearwalls to the roof diaphragm.
ii. The shearwall schedule calls for 8d nails that are 1-112" in length. Typically
8d nails are 2-318 or 2-1/2" long. The NDS for the ASD method calls for a
minimum 1-3/8 penetration for 8d nails for structural shear sheathing nailing.
Either change the length or justify the shorter nails.
5. Complete the City of Edmonds' special inspection forms, one for each special inspection agency,
or inspector. A copy of the form is included for your convenience.
6. Complete the attached City of Edmonds' Energy and Ventilation forms.
7. Details and product data for the tempered glass guards
8. On April 2, 2007 the City Council adopted Ordinance. 3632 updating ECDC Chapter 19.10
relating to building permits in the Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard Area. The Shubins submitted
their permit application on February 21, 2007, prior to adoption of the ordinance. When the
application expired, the vesting under the previous codes were lost.
As noted in the Building Official's letter to you dated May 29, 2009, you were required to obtain a
current ESLHA Packet which contains the submittal information under the new ordinance.
In reviewing the permit application for compliance to the new ordinance, we have the following
comments:
a. According to ECDC 19.10.070 (DWS, see attached) Rockeries are now prohibited
in the North Edmonds ESLHA. If you would like to propose retaining walls, e.g.
concrete or segmented, provide revised plans and engineering. A professional
peer review by the City of Edmonds' consulting geotech would be required. A
deposit of $1500 is required with the submittal package.
b. ECDC 19.10.070 (E, see attached) does provide a waiver possibility for the
rockeries. This option will require peer review, and a five hundred dollar
($500.00) deposit at the time of submittal.

cent properties or an unreasonable risk of
damage to the proposed development, or
3_ Excessive flooding, seepage, high
water table, or inadequate drainage, or
4. If the bluff retreat rate analysis shows
that the rate of retreat of the bluff is such that
any structure or improvement would be unrea-
sonably endangered or reasonably could be
anticipated to be endangered by landslide or
earth subsidence during its normal useful life,
the application shall be denied_ A "structure" is
defined as:
a. A building intended for human
habitation,
b. A building, structure or other
improvement whose stress or weight, collapse
or movement would endanger public safety in
the event of slope failure, and
c. Any improvement on the site
which is necessary to mitigate danger to public
safety or provide stability, or
5. Other hazardous conditions posing an
unreasonable risk to public health, safety, or
welfare, or
6. Where the noted site dangers or geo-
logic hazards are not minimized to the extent
possible by the use of best available science
and generally accepted engineering and archi-
tectural practice, or
7. If the applicant's geotechnical engi-
neer determines that there is a greater chance
than 30 percent in a 25 -year period that land-
slide damage on site will occur.
C. In making a determination of permit
denial, the director shall consider not only the
land which is the subject of the application, but
in addition, the surrounding area which would
be adversely affected if the permit were
granted. Permit denial shall be made in writing
to the owner/applicant when the site cannot be
rendered "stable" as defined in ECDC
19.10.020(0). This decision and other prelim-
inary determinations as referenced herein shall
be appealable to Snohomish County superior
court in accordance with the Land Use Petition
Act. No other appeal shall be permitted. The
appeal period shall commence upon the date of
19.10.070
mailing of any preliminary or final decision, or
upon posting, if posting is the only notice a
party with standing receives under the terms of
this chapter.
D. Prohibitions. Because of the relationship
of groundwater to stability, the discharge of
collected surface water or stormwater to the
ground surface or subsurface is prohibited on
sites within the earth subsidence and landslide
hazard area. In addition, the following con-
struction, buildings, or improvements are
hereby prohibited within the earth subsidence
and landslide hazard area:
1. Swimming pools or hot tubs.
2. Ponds or other artificial impound-
ments of water.
3. Watering or irrigation systems.
4. Temporary or permanent stockpile of
fill on top or bottom of slopes.
5. Rockeries.
E. Waiver. The prohibitions established in
subsection (D) of this section shall apply
unless the property owner requests a waiver
based upon the written analysis of a geotechni-
cal engineer which clearly establishes that the
proposed improvement will have no reason-
able likelihood of triggering or otherwise con-
tributing to any landslide hazard or earth
subsidence risk either on the site or in the
neighboring earth subsidence or landslide haz-
ard area.
In any review or appeal of the director's or
building official's denial of a waiver to con-
struct an otherwise prohibited improvement,
the burden of proof shall always be upon the
applicant to establish by a clear preponderance
of the evidence that no such risk will be cre-
ated by the improvement_ Any geotechnical
engineering report provided in any review
shall consider not only the risk incurred due to
or during construction of the otherwise prohib-
ited improvement, but also the potential
impacts due to failure to maintain the improve-
ment, damage through reasonably foreseeable
events such as earthquakes or other acts of
God, or the reasonably foreseeable negligence
of the owner or future owners. The director
19-29 (Revised 7107)
19.10.080
may utilize peer review consultants. [Ord.
3651 § 1, 2007].
1910.08.0 Site access, professionaVspecial
inspection, monitoring during
construction and final
geotechnical report.
A. Site Clearing and Grading. The own-
er/applicant or contractor shall secure the
building official's approval before entering an
earth subsidence and landslide hazard area site
with excavating or other grading and clearing
equipment to clear, remove trees or grade for
any purpose including the creation of access to
the site.
The building official may condition such
access approval if site conditions are war-
ranted and when discretionary approval per-
mits are required. As part of the approval
process the building official may impose con-
ditions that address site work issues; such mea-
sures could include but are not limited to
limiting all excavation and drainage installa-
tion to the drier season between May and the
end of September, or sequencing activities
such as the installation of drainage systems
well in advance of construction.
Requests for early site access in advance of
building permit approval or in the time period
between October 1st and April 30th for any
purpose shall be submitted to the building offi-
cial accompanied by written concurrence of
the owner/applicant's geotechnical engineer of
record.
The building official may utilize peer
review consultants to determine whether the
request is based on generally accepted engi-
neering practice and is reasonable with regard
to time -frame to complete the work, types of
equipment proposed to perform the work,
length of exposure of slopes, and adequacy of
site monitoring and temporary erosion control
measures. When such peer review is utilized,
the applicant is responsible for the peer review
fee.
B. Reporting Authority. The ownerlappli-
cant shall retain a geotechnical engineer to
(Revised 7/07) 19-30
monitor the site during construction_ The
owner/applicant shall preferably retain the
geotechnical engineer who prepared the final
geotechnical report in the plan set submittal
and who has reviewed the approved plans and
specifications.
If a different geotechnical engineering con-
sultant is retained by the owner/applicant, the
new geotechnical engineer shall submit a letter
to the director stating that he or she has read all
reports and recommendations and reviews to
date and state whether or not he or she agrees
with the opinions and recommendations of the
original geotechnical report and peer review
comments. Further recommendations, signed
and sealed by the new geotechnical engineer,
and supporting data shall be provided should
there be exceptions or changes to the original
recommendations that would affect the
approved plans.
C. Construction Monitoring, Special In-
spections.
1. Inspection Requirements. During the
period from October 1 st to April 30th, when on
site, the owner/applicant or designated erosion
sedimentation control (ESC) site supervisor
shall perform erosion and sedimentation con-
trol inspections. Records of installed ESC
facilities shall be maintained by the erosion
and sedimentation control supervisor and cop-
ies of all ESC records shall be provided to city
inspectors upon request.
ESC facilities on inactive sites (sites
where no work will be performed for more
than three consecutive days) shall be inspected
weekly by the erosion and sedimentation con-
trol supervisor_ During all other times of the
year, weekly inspections by the ESC site
supervisor are required and shall be recorded.
2. Weekly Field Reports. The geotech-
nical engineer shall monitor, during construc-
tion, compliance with the recommendations in
the geotechnical report including: site excava-
tion, shoring, temporary erosion control, soil
support for foundation, piles, subdrainage
installation, soil compaction and other geo-
technical aspects of the construction. Unless
