SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SHORT PLAT
APPLICATION LOCATED AT 22930 —102ND PL. W, FILE NO. PLN20150047
Dear Mr. Purser:
Upon further review of your land use application for a four -lot short plat located at 22930 102" d Pl. W (File
No. PLN20150047), Snohomish County Fire District No. 1 determined that the proposed ingress/egress
easement will not provide adequate emergency access to the proposed lots. See the enclosed memo from
Kevin Zweber, Captain/Deputy Fire Marshal, dated November 23, 2015 for reference. In response to the
enclosed comments, please revise the preliminary short plat and preliminary site development plans in order to
indicate compliance with fire access requirements. The widened access and turnaround must be provided
within an ingress/egress easement. A standard detail for fire turnarounds is enclosed for reference.
Although the area of an ingress/egress easement is not typically included in the net area of a proposed lot when
determining compliance with the minimum lot area requirements, Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC) 21.55.020 states the following: "Lot area means the total horizontal area within the boundary lines of
a lot. Lot area shall normally exclude any street rights -of -way and access easements. If additional right-of-
way has been required in accordance with the provisions of ECDC 18.80.010, note 4, as the same exists or is
hereafter amended, lot area shall be calculated to include the additional right-of-way required over and above
the standard established by that section. " Since the need to expand the proposed ingress/egress easement
stems from the Fire District's requirements and is in excess of the standard Engineering requirements, the
additional easement area necessary to address the Fire District's requirements will not be deducted from the
net area of the proposed lots. In order to document the calculations of the gross and net areas of the proposed
lots, please clearly indicate on the revised preliminary plans the portions of the ingress/egress easement that are
in excess of the standard Engineering requirements.
Please submit the above information to the Planning Division as soon as possible so that staff may continue
processing your application. Keep in mind that a complete response to this information request must be
received within 90 days or the application will lapse for lack of information (ECDC 20.02.003.D). Thus,
your application will expire if the requested information is not received by March 3, 2016. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone at (425) 771-0220 or via email at
Jen.Machuga@cdmondswa.gov.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
