CRITICAL 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.
Please submit a vicinity map along with the signed
copy of this form to assist City staff in finding and
locating the specific piece of property described on
this form. 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 Areas Checklist and attest that the answers provided are factual, to the
best of my knowledge (fill out the appropriate column below).

Critical Areas Determination
Applicant: Jamie Hawk Determination #: CA-2000-3
Project Name: N/A Permit Number: N/A
Site Location: 15605 751h Place West Property Tax Acct #: 5131-000-024-04
Project Description:
Non project specific
Determination: Study Required
Review of a topographic map and inspection of the subject site, found what appears to be a Steep Slope
Hazard Area pursuant to Chapter 20.1513 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
towards the west (water side). Prior to submittal of building permit applications for any development
activity, the following action must be taken:
Steep Slope Hazard Area Delineation Requirements
To determine the extent of a Steep Slope Hazard Area, a topographic survey of the property, prepared by
a Licensed Land Surveyor must be obtained. Any slope of 40% or more, with at least 20 feet of vertical
rise will be classified as a Steep Slope Hazard Area. From the toe or top of the Steep Slope Hazard Area,
a 50-foot buffer plus a 15-foot building setback is required. The survey is to confirm the presence of a
Critical Area and locate the buffer and building setback as mandated by ECDC Chapter 20.15B.
For development of any kind that is proposed within the, 50-foot buffer, the 15-foot building setback, or
critical area itself, the following options may apply:
A licensed geologist or geotechnical engineer may provide evidence to demonstrate that a buffer
alteration down to 10 feet plus a 15-foot buffer setback will have no adverse impact upon the site, the
public or any private party. This effectively reduces the requirement from a total of 65 feet from the
top or toe or slope down to 25 feet. A geotechnical analysis of the site and statements regarding the
setback reduction and lack of adverse impact on the public is required prior to any development
permit application.
2. If development must occur within the critical area, buffer and/or setback and is not identified as an
exception, a variance or Reasonable Use Exception and variance pursuant to ECDC Section 20.15B.
may be possible.
If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel
would not impact the Critical Area located on the site, they may submit their proposal to
the Planning Division for review. If the Planning Division rinds that the proposed
development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Area or its buffers, a conditional
waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.
The site is identified on the City of Edmonds Environmentally Sensitive Map. SEPA review will be
required of all development applications or permits. This property is also subject to the Earth Subsidence
and Landslide Hazard section of the Edmonds Co ity D velo ment C (ECDC Section 19.05).
