RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0715
SWIMMING POOL AT 812 BELL STREET
Dear Ms. Sellers:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified:
Proposed Pool Pad
1. . It appears that the proposed pool pad will encroach into the side
and rear property line setbacks at the southwestern corner of the lot. If that is the
case, any mechanical equipment that is placed on the pad (pool filters, etc.) must be
less than 36 in height, including the height of the pad. Otherwise, the pool pad must
meet the required property line setbacks for the RS-6 zone. In this case, the side
setback is 5 feet and the rear setback for the pool pad and equipment may be reduced
to 5 feet according to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Section
16.20.050.C.
On an elevation drawing, please indicate what equipment is to be located on the
proposed pool pad and the total height of the pad and the equipment. Or, indicate on
the site plan that the pad meets the required setbacks.
Proposed Fence
2. . Building codes require the installation of a 6-foot fence to enclose
the pool. However, fence placement must meet the requirements described in ECDC
17.30.010. Fence height is normally limited to three feet within 10 feet of a street
right-of-way or access easement unless an exception is approved by the city engineer.
As proposed, it appears the 6-foot fence will be nearly on the rear property line
adjacent to the alley behind the house.
Please submit an exception request to the Engineering Division for the placement of
the 6-foot fence on the rear property line. Otherwise, indicate on the site plan that the
fence meets the 10-foot setback requirement from the alley.
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, feel free to contact
me at 425-771-0220 (x1330).
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
