RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS #2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2010-0297
SFR REMODEL AT 924 OLYMPIC AVENUE
Dear Dana,
I have reviewed the above building permit application as well as the companion garage permit
(BLD -2010-0416) for the Planning Division. I was able to sign off on the accessory garage but
before I can sign off on the remodel permit, the following information needs to be clarified:
2" a Kitchen: THIS WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE INITIAL REVIEW BUT
APPEARS NOT TO HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE JUNE 18th RESUB. It
was noticed on the building plans that there are currently two kitchens in the existing
residence — one on the basement level and one on the main level. While two kitchens are
allowed, the presence of two kitchens can indicate that a portion of the residence is being
used as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Accessory dwelling units are a secondary use
in single-family residential zones that require a conditional use permit (ECDC 16.20.010
and ECDC 20.21). We currently do not have a conditional permit for an ADU in our
records — if there is an ADU at the site, please apply for a ADU permit. Otherwise,
please have the owner submit the attached Accessory Dwelling Unit Statement indicating
their awareness of the ADU permit requirements. After the owners have signed and
notarized the document, please drop it off along with the building permit revisions.
There is a filing fee for filing with the County Auditor which will be charged when the
building permit is picked up. Double-check with your Permit Coordinator the amount of
that fee.
You may redline your existing plans or submit three copies of your updated site plan (one
reduced size) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans. Please make all submittals
to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. If
you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
