RE: Request to Waive Sidewalk Requirements — Short flat S-04-108 at 15810 75"' Place West
Dear Mr. and Ms. Thiry:
I have reviewed your letter dated February 11, 2005, requesting reconsideration of the sidewalk
requirement under the subject short plat.
Based on your meeting with staff February 9, 2005 and on further discussion with Lyle Chrisman and
Steve Bullock, it is my understanding the existing house encroaches onto your other lot, and in order to be
able to construct a house on the empty lot, the Planning Division required you to submit for a short plat so
modifications could be made to the existing property lines.
When the City designed and constructed the walkway along 75"' Place West (from 157"' Street SW to
North Meadowdale Road), that portion of the walkway along your property frontage was not constructed
because the steep roadway and side slope would have required a specially constructed walkway. The cost
to construct such a walkway was well beyond the budget for the project, and since there were other areas
between your property and Meadowdale Beach Road that required specially designed and constructed
walkways, the decision was made not to include the walkway along your frontage.
Since your application is really for a modified lot line adjustment, and the City did not construct a
walkway along your frontage due to the expense of constructing an elevated walkway, the requirement to
construct a walkway along your property frontage is hereby waived as being economically infeasible to
construct, per Chapter 18.90.030B of the Edmonds Community Development Code. Attached is a copy
of the revised Engineering Requirements for the subject short plat.
If you have any questions, please contact Lyle Chrisman at 425-771-0220 Ext. 1324.
