RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2013-0661
CARPORT ROOF ALTERATION AT 10704 231ST STREET
Dear Ms. Dillan,
I have 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 and through
the submittal of updated plans:
1. Dimensioned plans: Please submit an accurate, dimensioned Plot Plan. Attached is the
Holiday Hill plat map for reference on shape and dimension (Lot 7). From there, refer to
Handout B61 (attached) for a checklist of required information to include on the Plot Plan.
Refer to Attachment A for a sample plan.
2. Height calculations: In the same Handout B61, please refer to the checklist that describes the
required information for height calculations. Refer to Attachment E for a sample elevation
drawing.
3. Nonconforming carport: The existing carport encroaches almost fully into the 7.5' west side
setback and so is considered to be nonconforming with respect to that setback. Usually,
adding on to a nonconforming structure is not allowed but a pitched roof may be added over
a flat roof to improve drainage as a maintenance activity. However, the work in the
encroaching area may not create any livable area or storage space and the pitch of the roof
must be the minimum necessary to maintain drainage. Please describe whether new storage
space would be created under the carport foot. Also, describe how a 3.5:12 pitch roof is the
minimum necessary to provide adequate drainage.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmondsnt.html.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 11 x 17 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 (8 am to 12 pm only on Wednesdays).
If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
Associate Planner
