RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS #3 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0258
COVERED PORCH/ADDITION AT 7425 BRAEMAR DRIVE
Dear Mr. Lovell:
After further review of the above building permit, it has been determined that the rear setback is
not reduced from 25’ to 16’ for the current project through variance, V-98-65. That variance
only allowed the reduced rear setback for the work done in 1998 on the porch and roof. The
proposed addition of a new second story must meet the setbacks as they exist today – 25’ for the
rear property line setback.
The Hearing Examiner’s decision in V-98-65 that you submitted lists three conditions of
approval, the first of which states:
All future expansions, additions, accessory structures must comply with standard zoning
setbacks.
From this language, it is clear that any additions, like that proposed in BLD-2008-0258, must
comply with the standard 25’ rear property line setback for your parcel in the RS-20 zone.
In order to continue with your project, please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one
reduced size) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans showing the relocation of
the addition to comply with the 25’ rear setback requirement. Please make all submittals to a
Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, except
on Wednesdays when we are closed for permit review. If you have any questions, please contact
me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
