RE: Accessory Dwelling Unit Compliance permit #200650
The purpose of this letter is to outline the City's position with regard to your Accessory
e
ed at 22907 75' Avenu West. According to City records On
Dwelling Unit (ADU) 10cat
lication for an ADU with the planning Department in order to
July 14, 2000 you made app
legitimize your illegal unit. This action was due to the City's interim ordinance that allows
existing illegal ADU's to become legitimate by applying for permit approval by October
15, 2000. After this date non -conforming existing illegal ADU's can not be
'grandfathered'. You also submitted an application for the required compliance building
including field verification of all life -safety
permit and I explained the permit requirements ived a building permit,
items in the second dwelling. You then stated you had already rece
however as you were previously notified by letter dated 8/11/00, no such permit or
approval exists in City records.
The building compliance permit was issued on 8/10/00 and you scheduled Mike Snook,
ection on 8/29/00. During that site visit You alleged that
ilding Inspector for insp,
City Bu ved the bedroom
men City inspectors had visited the site and had already appro
de
two wo
window size which by Mr. Snook's measurement is substantially less than Do
egress
minimum. Taking you at
your word Mr. Snook signed off your job card however, upon
ed the issue and determined that you had
returning to the office he immediately investigat
mislead him. My research indicates that Kathleen Taylor and Chaunda Earhart of our
Planning Department made a site visit for the ADU application and both insist that they did
id they 'approve' the
not discuss specific code requirements of egress windows; nor d
ed indicate a bedroom
window size. I must also point out that the plans that you provid
window size of 44 inches by 68 inches (the field measurement is 15 inches by 43 inches)
y incorrect. Also, the City Plans Examiner, Tricia
clearly the plans you provided are grossl
Bennon provided you with the ADU handout that expressly indicates the minimum egress
window size as well as other ADU building code requirements.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 102 of the Uniform Building Code a life -safety violation
exists in the sleeping room of the accessory dwelling unit. Be advised, the compliance
permit will expire on 02/10/01; prior to this date an emergency egress window complying
to UBC Section 310.4 (copy attached) must be installed, inspected and approved. Due to
the nature of the violation and since you have indicated to me that the unit is currently
vacant you are hereby notified that no person or persons may use or occupy the ADU until
the emergency egress window is approved by the City Building Inspector.
As previously discussed with you it is not the City's intent to cause you undue hardship
however, compliance to the codes is mandatory for the fair and equal treatment of all
citizens. As Building Official for the City of Edmonds it is my duty to enforce the
minimum code provisions of the Uniform Building Code to ensure occupant safety.

Mrs. Barbara McCoy
22907 75"' Avenue West
Edmonds, Washington 98026
RE: Permit history @ 22907 75t" Avenue West
Dear Mrs. McCoy,
in response to your telephone call today with Plans Examiner, Tricia Bermon, I thought it
might be helpful to outline the permit information the City has on your property. Your
lot and surrounding neighbors were annexed into the City on 7/26/61. According to
County records your home was built in 1955. The County would have a copy of your
original house permit and any other permits obtained between 1955 to 7/25/61. Sincethe
annexation date you would have obtained all building permits from Edmonds City Hall,
and in fact our records show that you obtained a permit on 8/4/70 for a 20x4O Lancer
pool, a re-roofpermit was issued on 10/9/95 and a remodeling permit to finish the garage
into a recreation room was issued on 11/27/95.
Unfortunately, there are no permit records for the conversation of your daylight basement
to an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The past discretionary process for this type of approval
was cumbersome and it is our experience that many people chose to make such a
conversion without first obtaining the proper City building permits and approvals.
However, I completely understand your need to have this unit for additional income. In
fact that is one reason why the City revised the Accessory Dwelling Unit permit process
to make it easier; and also to create a window of opportunity for existing illegal units to
apply for permit approval. The Building Department's role in this process is to be
assured that minimum life safety codes are met in the accessory unit; that is the purpose
of the building compliance permit. This is especially critical in basement applications
since emergency escape, natural light and ventilation are commonly not to code.

Yesterday, I outlined four options for you to resolve this matter and I list them again for
your convenience, I have also added a fifth option:
1 . Add a window in the dining room, minimum size 10 square feet;
2. Increase the kitchen window size to a 5' x 5' (minimum) sized window;
3. Remove that portion of wall between the mechanical room and the kitchen bar so that
the dining room is open to the living room;
4. Construct a wall to block off the dining area, install a door and label and use the room
as storage;
5. Obtain County permit records that show approval for the Accessory Dwelling Unit.
If you can find such records the City would refund your permit fees.
I can understand your frustration on something that you believe was previously approved
but I assure you there are no building permits or planning approvals for the basement
accessory dwelling unit. Also, I am sure that we both have the same goal to be assured
that any person(s) living in the unit are safe and have the minimum protections and
improvements that the code requires.
If you need additional time to decide your course of action please inform me in writing.
Be sure to include which method you choose for compliance and provide an estimated
date as to when the work will be complete. if not, I have established a deadline of
compliance of 10/10/00. By this date your must have the work complete and have
scheduled an inspection with our Building Inspector, Mike Snook.
Please be advised it is not my intent to cause you undue hardship, however, compliance
to the codes is mandatory for the fair and equal treatment of all citizens. As Building
Official for the City I am obligated to enforce the provisions of the Uniform Building
Please feel
Code and have civil and criminal enforcement powers to gain compliance.
