RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2015-0722
NEW DECK, PERGOLA AT 20903 PIONEER WAY
Dear Mr. Okimoto,
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 submittal of updated plans:
1. Geotech report: Please provide a geotechnical report for the project prepared in
accordance Sections 23.40.090 and 23.80.050 of the Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC).
2. Site plan: Please provide a scaled version of the reduced site plan. Show all existing
features on the site including the south concrete steps.
3. Setback encroachments: Project setbacks were established through the Madrona
Cove plat and PRD (PRD -02-171). All proposed buildings and structures must meet
those setbacks unless excepted in ECDC 16.20.040.A and B. It appears that portions of
the deck, pergola beam braces, and bench do not meet setbacks. Please verify and
revise the plans to satisfy the required setbacks (and allowed exceptions), as
appropriate.
4. Structural lot coverage: Please add a structural lot coverage calculation to the Site
Plan. Per ECDC 21.15.110, "[c]overage 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." Include the existing house
and porch as well as the proposed deck covering. It should be noted that each lot in
the Madrona Cove project is allowed a maximum of 3,019 sq. ft.
5. Height calculations: Please submit height calculations for the proposed project. Refer
to Handout B41 for assistance. On the elevation drawing on Sheet A-1, show the lines
of elevation for the 'average original grade', 'maximum allowed height', and 'proposed
height' of the pergola determined from the height calculations shown on the Site Plan.
All referenced code sections are available here:
http://www.codepublishing.com/wa/`edmonds/.
Please submit three copies of the updated site plan 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 (closed Wednesdays). If you have any questions, please contact
me at (425) 771-0220.
Si cerely,
