RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS 2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2010-0898
DECK AT 8718 200TH STREET SW
Dear Mr. Chandler,
I have again 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 in a written response:
Setback encroachment: UNRESOLVED. The deck plans (12/17/10 resub) now show
that portions of the deck will be enclosed by pickets and railings. As the referenced
code indicates, only uncovered and unenclosed decks may project into a setback.
Please eliminate the proposed pickets and railings or show how the proposed deck
meets the requirements of ECDC 16.20.040.C. The proposed decks will be located
partially within property line setbacks — one within the 25' street setback area from the
western property line, the other within the 7.5' side setback from the southern property line.
According to ECDC 16.20.040.C, "[u]ncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios,
and decks may project into a required setback not more than one-third of the required
setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are no more than 30 inches
above ground level at any point. " Please verify that the decks will meet the 30" height
requirement.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan and two sets of any updated sheets of the
building plans. Please make all submittals to a Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am
to 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
