RE: CORRECTION NOTICE FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0861
EDMONDS YACHT CLUB – 326 ADMIRAL WAY
Dear Mr. Price:
Following my inspection of the new Yacht Club building for the Planning Division, it has been determined that
the following correction items must be addressed before the Planning Division can sign off on our final
inspection of the above building permit (BLD20080861):
Landscaping:
1.The landscaping installed does not match the approved landscape plan. In particular, no
landscaping was provided on the southern side of the building and the pots containing clematis along the
trellis on the eastern side of the building were not provided. Additionally, a utility vault was added to
the landscape bed adjacent to the trash enclose, and this utility vault has not been adequately screened.
Any changes to the approved landscape plan must be reviewed by the Architectural Design Board
(ADB). It should be noted that during the design review of the project, one of the ADB’s main concerns
was the minimal amount of design features (i.e. windows, modulation, etc.) on the southern façade of
the building. This was compensated for by the use of landscaping at the base of this façade. Thus, it is
not likely that the ADB will be supportive of a proposal to completely eliminate this landscape bed
along the southern side of the building. The fee for a minor change to an approved landscape plan is
$480 (comprised of $15 city surcharge plus $465 design review fee). Your application should include a
new landscape plan indicating all proposed changes from the approved landscape plan, including those
stated above and the new locations of the street trees. Please speak with a Planner if you have any
questions regarding this process.
Landscape Maintenance Bond:
2.Following the completion of all landscaping, a 15 percent
maintenance bond will be required pursuant to ECDC 20.13.040. Any plants that die within two years
of installation must be replaced before the maintenance bond can be released. An itemized cost
estimate, including all materials and labor, will be required for use in determining the landscape bond
amount. This estimate should be provided following the ADB’s review of any changes to the landscape
plan, as additional plants are likely to be required and will need to be included in the cost estimate.
Façade:
3.The building façade and all trim must be painted consistent with the colors approved with the
design review of the project.
Signage:
4.Signage was installed without a permit. You will need to submit an application for a permit
for all signage that you have installed and any additional signage that you still plan to install. Please
contact a Permit Coordinator if you have any questions on the sign permit submittal requirements.
Please note that the above correction items must be addressed before the Planning Division can sign off on our
final inspection of your building permit (BLD20080861). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
(425) 771-0220, ext. 1224.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
