Number: 00513105800900/01 Determination: Study Required Determination #: CRA-2006-0111 Applicant: Janis Hansen Owner: J. Sherman Mills CRITICAL AREAS RECONNAISSANCE REPORT: STUDY REQUIRED (CRA-2006-0111) During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain or be adjacent to critical areas, including an Erosion Hazard Area, pursuant to Chapter 23.40 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). The LIDAR map (attached) indicates erosion potential, as the site slopes down from east to west at an approximate 19% slope. Because this slope exceeds 15% and because of the Soil Survey mapped soil types of #3 and #4 (Alderwood gravelly sandy loam and Alderwood-Everett gravelly sandy loams) this site qualifies as an erosion hazard critical area. There is a narrow man-made cement -lined channel on the property that appears to be a waterfall water feature. It flows from east to west down the slope of the property. This drainage channel does not meet the definition of stream pursuant to ECDC 23.40.320 and is therefore not considered a critical area. This site is also located within the designated Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard Area, so if there are any known proposed development plans for this site, the applicant should first contact the Building Official at 425.771.0220 for information on the building permit process for properties located in this area. GENERAL CRITICAL AREAS REPORT REQUIREMENTS Critical Areas Reports identify, classify and delineate any areas on or adjacent to the subject property that may qualify as critical areas. They also assess these areas and identify any potential impacts resulting from your specific development proposal. If a specific development proposal results in an alteration to a critical area the critical areas report will also contain a mitigation plan. You have the option of completing the portion of the study that classifies and delineates the critical areas and waiting until you have a specific development proposal to complete the study. You may also choose submit the entire study with your specific development application. • Please review the minimum report requirements for all types of Critical Areas which are listed in ECDC 23.40.090.D. There are additional report requirements for different types of critical areas (see below). • Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the ordinance. There are options on how to complete a critical areas study and an approved list of consultants that you may choose from. You may contact the Planning Division for more information. • General Mitigation Requirements for all Critical Areas are discussed in ECDC 23.40.110 through 23.40.140. - 1 - STUDY REQUIREMENT — EROSION HAZARD AREA It appears that this property contains or is adjacent to an Erosion Hazard Area. • Erosion Hazard areas include Alderwood and Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater, among others. • Landslide Hazard Areas are further defined in ECDC 23.80.020.A. • In addition to the general requirements for Critical Areas reports referenced above, specific Critical Area report requirements for Erosion Hazard Areas (which are one of the Geologically Hazardous Areas) are provided in ECDC 23.80.050. • Note that Stable Erosion Hazard Areas may have limited report requirements at the director's discretion. At a minimum an erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance with the requirements in ECDC Chapter 18.30 shall be required. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH EROSION HAZARD AREAS Development is restricted within an Erosion Hazard Area and must meet additional criteria. • For erosion hazard areas with suitable slope stability, an erosion and sediment control plan prepared in compliance ECDC 18.30 will be considered to meet the Critical Areas "Study Required" determination. The determination of "suitable slope stability" will be made by both the Planning and Engineering divisions of the City of Edmonds. • In areas where the slope stability is not suitable, projects within Erosion Hazard Areas will require a report by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer or other qualified professional. • Note that it is important for the report to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined in the ordinance. • Report requirements are given in ECDC 23.80.050, and more generally in ECDC 23.40.090.D • • Development standards are given in ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070. ALLOWED ACTIVITIES Certain activities are allowed in or near critical area buffers as specified in ECDC 23.40.20. If you have any questions about whether your proposed development qualifies as an allowed activity, please contact a Planner for more information. EXEMPT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Certain development proposals may be exempt from Critical Areas Requirements (ECDC 23.40.230). If you think that a specific development proposal may be exempt, contact a Planner for more information.
