Crti.c.al Areas Checklist
The Critical Areas Checklist contained on
this form is to be filled out by any person
preparing a Development Permit
Application for the City of Edmonds prior
to his/her submittal of a development
permit to the City.
The purpose of the Checklist is to enable
City staff to determine whether any
potential Critical Areas are or may be
present on the subject property. The
information needed to complete the
Checklist should be easily available from
observations of the site or data available at
City Hall (Critical Areas inventories, maps,
or soil surveys).
An applicant, or his/her representative,
must fill out the checklist, sign and date it,
and submit it to the City. The City will
review the checklist, make a precursory site
visit, and make a determination of the
subsequent steps necessary to complete a
development permit application.
With a signed copy of this form, the
applicant should also submit a vicinity map
or plot plan forindividual lots of the parcel
with enough detail that City staff can find
and identify the subject parcel(s). In
addition, the applicant shall include
other pertinent information (e.g. site
plan, topography map, etc.) or studies in
conjunction with this Checklist to assist
staff in completing their preliminary
assessment of the site.
I have completed the attached Critical Area Checklist and attest that the answers provided are
factual, to the best of my knowledge (fill out the appropriate column below).

Applicant: Robert Cole Determination #: CA-96-221
Project Name: Permit Number:
Site Location: 16006 75th PL W Property Tax Acct #: 5131-059-001-0006
Project Description
non -project specific
A site inspection and review of the submitted survey map has revealed a slope of 40% or more
with a vertical gain of 20 feet or more within the 40% slope on and adjacent to the subject
property. This slope is a Critical Area. The critical area is found near the western property line
and the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. The surveyed map indicates the top of the critical
area slope is the 42 foot contour, and the bottom is the 20 foot contour line.
Based on the above findings, it is determined that there is a steep slope critical area on or
adjacent to the site. A Critical Areas Study prepared by a licensed land surveyor locating the
critical area is normally required. In this case the surveyed map submitted at the time of
• application for Critical Area Review completes the required Critical Area Study with the
top of the critical area being the 42 foot contour line, and the bottom of the critical area being the
20 foot contour line.
The steep slope critical area requires a 50 foot buffer, which may be reduced to 10 feet if a
Licensed Geotechnical Engineer prepares a study which clearly demonstrates that that the
proposed buffer alteration will have no adverse impact upon the site, the public or any private
party (ECDC 20.15B.110).
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel would
not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal to the Planning
Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the proposed development permit
will not adversely impact a Critical Areas or its buffers, a conditional waiver may be issued on a
project by project basis.

Subject: Buffer Reduction/Critical Areas Checklist Letter
Cole(Merrltt Residence
SWC 75th Place West & Meadowdale Road
Edmonds, Washington
Dear Client:
This letter presents some of our geotechnieal engineering conclusions for the proposed
Cole/Merritt Residence to be constructed on the southwest corner of 75th Place West and
Meadowdale Road in Edmonds, Washington.
Our conclusions are based on the work completed to date. We have supervised the drilling of
two test borings on the property and reviewed laboratory tests consisting of sieve gradation
studies and moisture content tests. In addition, we have measured the standing groundwater
table in a slotted PVC standpipe which was installed during drilling activities.
Our geotechnical engineering report summarizing our testing, en ring analysis and
conclusions will be available next week. In general, the site is cove with a mantle of loose
• sand overlying firm to stiff silty clay. We measured the groundwater table at 26 feet (t elevation
46 feet) below existing grades.
Based on our testing, analysis, and review of the main floor/site plan which was faxed to us by
the architect, it is our opinion the buffer on this property for this specific development can be
safely reduced to ten feet. The, proposed development keeps cuts into the slope to a practical
minimum. Our analysis indicates the structure will have to be founded on piling.
If there are any questions, please contact the undersigned at (206) $27-1084.
