RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0618
TH
SARGENT DECK AT 7325 180 STREET SW
Dear Mr. Sargent:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it
was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be
addressed before review can continue:
Front Setback:
1.It appears your proposed deck will encroach approximately
th
seven (7) feet into the required 25-foot street setback from 74 Avenue West.
Because yours is a corner lot in the RS-8 zone, the setbacks are calculated to be
thth
25 feet from both 74 Avenue West and 180 Avenue Southwest. The two other
setbacks would be considered side setbacks and would be a distance of 7.5 feet.
According to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC), a deck may not
project into a required setback if it is more than 30 inches above ground level at
any point (16.20.040.C).
Lot Coverage
2.: As proposed, the additional 435 square feet of new deck will
increase your total lot coverage above the 35% maximum limit for the RS-8 zone
(ECDC 16.20.030). According the Snohomish County Assessors records, your
parcel is approximately 9,148 square feet. Your existing house covers
approximately 3,055 square feet (or 33.4%) of the parcel. The 435 square feet of
deck would increase that lot coverage to approximately 3,490 square feet (or
38%) of the parcel.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday
through Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If you have any questions,
please contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1330.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
