Dear Ms. McGuire,
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 on plans with changes called out:
1. Parcel bounds and lot area: The parcel boundaries and lot area shown on the site
plan need to be verified against the Shoreshire final plat (PLN20080046). At this point,
draft final plat does not match the approved preliminary plat. The final plat must
either agree with the preliminary plat or a minor change to the preliminary plat must
be processed prior to final plat approval.
2. Rear setback: The rear setback for the RSW-12 zone is 35' and no setback averaging is
permitted in the Edmonds Community Development Code for this situation. The
street property line setback is 15' so there may some flexibility on that side of the
parcel to reorient the proposed house. If the house is reoriented, verify the elevations
of the height corners and the resulting height calculations.
3. Rear patio: Per ECDC 16.20.040.C, "[ulncovered 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." Verify that the proposed rear patio
satisfies this requirement.
4. Datum point and elevation: On the Site Plan, please show the datum point used for
the height calculations and its elevation, actual or assumed.
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 (8:00 am to
12:00 pm only on Wednesdays). If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-
0220.
