RE: Ramsden Short Plat @ 22220 92nd Ave W (S-2008-62).
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Ramsden:
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
I have reviewed your resubmittal of December 31, 2008 for a two -lot short subdivision for your property
at 22220 92nd Ave W (file number S-2008-62) and have found that more information is needed. The
following corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed before review of you proposal can continue.
Please provide the followink additional information so Preliminary Review can continue:
1. Planning Division Comments:
a. Please lighten the hatching of asphalt areas so underlying notes can be read.
b. Thank you for providing the gross and net area of Lot 2. However, it now appears with the
resubmittal that Lot 1 has an ingress/egress easement across a portion of it as well. As such, the
gross and net area of Lot 1 must also be provided.
c. Thank you for showing setback lines for Lot 2, however the shown setback lines are incorrect and
no setback lines are shown for Lot 1. Lot 2 is a flag lot, and as such, only side setbacks apply,
which are 7 % feet for the RS -8 zone. Please provide the correct setback lines for Lot 1 and Lot
2.
d. It appears that the existing rockeries and shed along the northern property line of Lot 1 would be
located within the setbacks for the RS -8 zone. Rockeries three feet or greater in height are
required to meet the zoning setbacks as are all structures. You may choose to remove the
rockeries and shed, or apply for a modification request consistent with ECDC 20.75.075. See
page 4 of the enclosed Short Subdivision Submittal Requirements handout.
c. The preliminary short plat map submitted on October 2, 2008 indicated that approximately 2,500
square feet of new impervious surface area would be added. The resubmittal of December 31,
2008 included 650 square feet of side walk and 1,200 of new asphalt that was not included with
the original submittal, however, the new impervious surface area estimate did not change. Please
verify the amount of new impervious surface being added and the amount cut and fill that would
be required by this proposal.
f. Correct the spelling of the property owner/applicant on the short plat map.

g. The two closest fire hydrants identified on the resubmittal both state their location as the N.E.
COR. 220/92"' Ave. Please verify locations and correct the locations on the short plat map.
Also note the comments from the Fire Department below.
h. Please review and respond to the comments made by the Engineering Division (below and
attached).
2. Engineering Division Comments: Please review the following comments from the Engineering
Division and respond, through me, at your earliest convenience. Please contact Jeanie McConnel at
425.771.0220 if you have any questions. Note that the applicant will be required to submit civil
engineering plans to the City for review and approval after receiving preliminary short plat approval
from the Planning Division.
a. The plans were revised to indicate a detention pipe/infiltration trench. A preliminary drainage
design was not provided and therefore the City cannot provide preliminary approval for the
system. Please provide a preliminary design for review and approval. Please feel free to contact
Storm Water Engineer Jerry Shuster by e -email at shuster@ci.edmonds.wa.us or by phone at
425.771.0220 with any questions you may have.
b. A letter of preliminary approval from Olympic View Water and Sewer District, allowing
connection to the water and sewer system, was not received. Please submit.
3. Fire Department Comments: Please review the following comments from the Fire Department and
respond, through me, at your earliest convenience. Please contact acting Fire Marshall Mike Smith at
425.771.0215 if you have any questions.
a. Residential fire hydrant spacing in the city is 600 feet per ECDC 19.25.055. The spacing on this
street is 318 feet plus 410 feet plus the street frontage width of your lot 109 feet, totaling 837 feet
between hydrants, per your civil drawings.
b. The Fire Department will require the install of a fire hydrant, main side of the street, within the
frontage of your property as a condition of your short plat approval.
After the above comments are responded to, staff will review them for compliance. Once we have
determined that your project can move forward, I will initiate the two-week comment period. After the
comment period ends, I will work on my staff report, which will be issued and mailed to parties of record.
After your project receives preliminary approval, there is a two week appeal period — the conclusion of
this period is called "Preliminary Approval." If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 425.771.0220, extension 1223, or via email at lien@ci.edmonds.wa.us.
