RE: Review comments for proposed dumpster pad
BLD20140357 — Sherwin Williams outlet, 22804 -100th Ave. W, Edmonds WA
The proposed plan indicates a concrete dumpster pad measuring 4' by 6' at the rear of the store
along the alleyway. This is a suitable surface for staging the garbage container that will be
serviced at this location.
However, the applicant should strongly consider lengthening the pad in order to accommodate a
recycling container that will collect mainly cardboard and other accepted recyclables. These
weighty metal containers have a tendency to carve out depressions and become difficult to
service if left on an old asphalt surface.
I would recommend stretching the concrete pad to a minimum of 15' to adequately stage 2 side-
by-side front -load containers. Let me know if you have any questions.
