RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2013-0796
POST -INSTALLATION SIGN PERMIT AT 23726 100TH AVE. W
Dear Tracie,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can sign off on
the permit, the following information needs to be clarified in a written response and through the
submission of updated plans:
Maximum signage amount: Please indicate on the plans the length of the wall containing the
main public entrance to the building. The site is allowed a maximum of one square foot of
signage for each lineal foot of that wall.
2. Height of sign: Please indicate the height of the top of the wall sign.
3. Pole sign: There is an existing pole sign at near the corner of 100th Avenue and 238th Street SW
— see attached. Pole signs are not a permitted sign type for the Neighborhood Commercial sign
district according to ECDC 20.60.0201. As a result, it is considered to be nonconforming in
accordance with ECDC 17.40.040 since the site was annexed in 1995. The sign may be
maintained but may not be expanded or altered other than changing the name of the business
on the sign. While no work is proposed to the pole sign at this time, its square footage counts
against the total square footage of signage allowed for the site. Please indicate how many
square feet the pole sign is, subtract that amount from the maximum amount determined in #1
above, and adjust the size of the wall sign lettering (or remove the pole sign), as appropriate.
All referenced code sections are available through the City's website at:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmondsnt.html.
You may redline your existing plans or submit three copies of updated plans. Please make all submittals
to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (8:00 am to
12:00 pm only on Wednesdays). If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely/,
BC,
