RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2015-1266
NEW SFR AT 1020 BELL STREET
Dear Mr. Gaenz,
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. Average Front Setback: Planning cannot approve this building permit as shown until
the average front setback determination in STF20150034 is paid for and issued. The
fee for the determination is $225. Contact the receptionist to pay the fee either by
check or credit card.
2. Datum point: Please label the datum point used for height calculations on the Site
Plan.
Height: Please label the calculated lines of average original grade and maximum
allowed height as well as proposed height on Sheet A7.1.
4. Stormwater trench: A stormwater spreader trench is shown on the Site Plan within
the wetland buffer. ECDC 23.50.040.F.8.c states:
Storm water management facilities, limited to outfalls, pipes and conveyance
systems, storm water dispersion outfalls and bioswales, may be allowed within
the outer 25 percent of a standard or modified buffer for Category 3 or 4
wetlands only; provided, that:
i. No other location is feasible; and
ii. The location and function of such facilities will not degrade the functions or
values of the wetland.
The spreader is proposed to be most of the way into the standard buffer (and on City
of Edmonds property). Please revise the location of the stormwater outfall to be code
compliant and update the plans and wetland report from Acre Environmental
Consulting to address the referenced code section.
5. Covered deck in critical area setback: Per ECDC 23.40.280, uncovered decks may be
located within the 15' critical area setback but covered decks may not. On Sheet A7.1,
an upper deck is proposed above a lower deck off the south side of the house; the
upper deck serves to cover the lower deck in this location and therefore cannot be in
the critical area setback. Please revise either the upper or lower south deck and make
any changes necessary to the Site Plan and building plans.
All referenced code sections are available here:

Please submit three copies of your 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.
Sincere !Xr
