PORTERDECKPERMIT APPLICATION, LOCATEDAT 9617 LAUREL LN.
Dear Mr. Porter:
I have reviewed the above building permit applicationfor the Planning Division,and it was found that the
following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressedbefore review can continue:
Property Dimensions:
1.The Snohomish County Auditor’s records include the following legal
description of your property: LEANNE LANE BLK 000 D-00-LOT 5
This legal description indicates different property dimensions and a different cul-de-sac radius than what
is shown on your site plan. Please refer to the enclosed copy of the Leanne Lane plat,and utilize the
above legal description to correct the propertydimensions and cul-de-sac radius indicated on your site
plan.
Setbacks:
2.After making the above requested corrections toyour site plan, please correctthe proposed
setback distances indicated from allproperty lines to the proposed deck and stairsin order for staff to
confirm compliance with the minimum setback requirements of the RS-8zone.Minimum required
setbacks for the RS-8 zone are as follows: Street = 25’, Sides = 7.5’, Rear = 15’. Additionally, ECDC
16.20.040.C provides the following setback exception: “Uncovered 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.”
Based on this setback exception, the proposed deck could project into the minimum required 25-foot
street setback by four feet, so it must be a minimum of 21 feet from the southern property line. It
appears that with the revisions required to the property dimensions and cul-de-sac radius described
above, the proposed deck might not comply with these setback requirements. Please reduce the size of
the proposed deck as necessary in order to comply with all applicable setback requirements. If any
changes are needed to be made to the size of the deck, please indicate such changes on both the site plan
and building plans.
Lot Area and Lot Coverage:
3.After making the above requested corrections to your site plan, please
correct (if necessary) the lot area and lot coverageindicated on your site plan.
Please submit three copies of yourrevised site plan (including one reduced copy) and two copies of any
revised building plan sheetsto a Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays,between8:00 am and4:30 pm, and Wednesdays between 8:00 am and
noon.
If you have any questions, feel freeto contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department -Planning Division
