RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS #2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2012-0219
NEW SFR AT 808 9TH AVENUE SOUTH
Dear Mr. Cooper,
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:
1. ADDRESSED Critical area checklist: The City does not have a critical area checklist on
file for the new lot at 808 9th Avenue South. There was one for the larger parcel prior
to short plat (CRA-2003-0071), but a new checklist is required for the 808 9th parcel
itself.
2. UNADDRESSED. Please provide a breakout of the items contained in the lot coverage
calculation.
Structural lot coverage: Please provide a breakout of the items contained in the lot
coverage calculation. ECDC 21.15.110, "(cooverage means the total ground coverage
of all buildings or structures on a site measured from the outside of external walls or
supporting members or from a point two and one-half feet in from the outside edge of
a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area." As proposed, nearly all of
the structural lot coverage is being allocated which will leave little flexibility for future
placement of tool sheds and the like.
3. ADDRESSED Scale of reduced site plan: Please identify the scale on the site plan.
4. UNADDRESSED. That portion of deck where the railing is proposed may not project
into the 15'required rear setback. As shown, it is encroaching approximately 1'. The
deck will either need to be pulled back 1' to comply with the setback requirement or
the railing eliminated. Revise all plans as appropriate.
Decks: The western decks appear to encroach slightly in the required 15' property
line setback in that location. According to ECDC 16.20.040.C, unenclosed decks may
project into a required setback the lesser of one-third the setback or four feet as long
as no point is above 30" above ground level. A railing is shown which encloses at least
some of the decks. Please verify the distances in question and revise the extent of the
deck(s) as appropriate.
5. ADDRESSED Height calculation: On the site plan, the total height is shown as
1216.08'. It appears that the four corner elevations should calculate out to a total of
1217.3'. Please verify.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/`edmonds/Edmondsnt.htmi.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 11 x17 or
smaller) 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
