Please respond to the attached comments regarding the drainage report. 6. Addressed. 7. Please refer to ECDC 20.75.060 for all required information to be shown on the preliminary plans and have your surveyor revise the plans as necessary to meet these requirements. As part of your surveyor's revisions to the plans, please ensure the following items are addressed: Indicate the locations of all existing structures and the locations of all existing structures within 25 feet of the proposed subdivision. While structures on the adjacent properties was added to the preliminary short plat, it appears a couple of structures on the subject property were not identified. These structures are highlighted in red below. These structures will have to be demolished or removed prior to the short plat being finaled. Please identify all structures on the subject property. 8. Addressed. 9. Addressed. Please note that the application will be placed on hold until a response is received regarding the above items.

Additional information is requested from the applicant at this time in order to continue review of the application and provide preliminary approval of the short plat. Please ask the applicant to provide a written response to each of the comments below and revise and resubmit plans accordingly. Stormwater Engineer Review Comments: 1. Geotechnical Report: It is not clear that the required correction factors were applied to the measured infiltration rate to obtain the long-term design infiltration rate; provide or show calculation for converting between the two rates using the required correction factors (copied below). Ksatdzs,b„ = Ksat,,,;u,i x CFI• x CFr x CF„ Table B.1. Correction Factors to be Used With In -Situ Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Measurements to Estimate Design Rates. Issue Partial Correction Factor Site variability and number of locations tested (CF) CF = 0.33 to 1.0 Test Method (CFT) CFT • Large-scale PIT • CFT = 0.75 for Large-scale PIT • Small-scale PIT • CFT = O.S for Small-scale PIT • Other small-scale (e.g., Double ring, falling head) • CFT = 0.4 for other small-scale test • Grain Size Method • CFT = 0.4 for Grain Size Method Degree of influent control to prevent siltation and bio-buildupCFna = 0.9 2. Drainage Report: Paragraph 3 of the executive summary appears to have some errant text stating full infiltration is not feasible due to flow paths; clean- up and clarify as needed. 3. Drainage Report: Report states several times that site will be designed to infiltrate 100%; however, there appears to be a by-pass area of driveway City of Edmonds proposed which will discharge surface runoff without mitigation. Update text and downstream analysis as needed. 4. Drainage Report: Update MR #5 section to state how the proposed bypass area satisfies MR #5, and/or provide mitigation BMPs as required. 5. Drainage Report: It does not appear that the `retro-fit' requirement of ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.i has been addressed; update plans and report as needed to provide mitigation for 25% of the existing unmitigated surfaces to remain. 6. Sheet 1: List the vertical datum used for the topo/design. a. Note: Listed elevations vary rather significantly (15'+) from the City contours; engineer shall verify all elevations were translated to the project datum correctly. 7. Sheet 2: Show a storm stub for collection of the roof runoff from the shop building and/or clarify how the structure will drain to the rain garden. 8. Sheet 2: It appears that the proposed drywells for footing drains do not comply with setback requirements for infiltration facilities; updated as needed to maintain required setbacks. 9. Sheet 2: While the rain garden detail has a dimension and label for 6" freeboard, it appears the south -side (left side of detail) does not actually come up high enough to provide 6" freeboard as shown; update as needed to provide required 6" freeboard. a. Note: The model appears to have assumed a 6" ponding depth but a 12" ponding depth is currently shown; it may be that elevations internal to the rain garden need adjustment without adjusting the grading. Please contact Zack Richardson, Stormwater Engineer, directly with any comments or questions at 425-771-0220. Thank you.
