Case: # ZE-03-196, Plan Check # 03-315
Subject Property: 409 3 d Ave. S., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dalton,
As you're aware, the City has received a complaint for the subject property regarding
construction at the southeast comer of your dwelling unit without a building pen -nit
which encroaches into the rear yard setback.
You have submitted an application to drywall a storage/shop at the southeast comer of
your dwelling unit. In reviewing building and assessor records it appears that a "lean to"
in this area was possibly in existence prior to 1972 and definitely in existence between
1972 and 1991 in the area as shown on your remodel plans. It appears that sometime after
1972 this "lean to" was incorporated into the dwelling unit with outside walls and
utilizing an interior and exterior entryway. There are, however, no permits on file for this
work.
The following facts are known:
According to Assessor's records the primary dwelling was constructed in 1925.
The first City zoning and building regulations were adopted in 1956 which did
contain setback regulations.
A building permit would have been required for a structure attached to a dwelling
in 1956 to the current time whether a lean to or habitable space.
Noted in 1972 in the Assessor's field appraisal data notes was the existence of a
"lean to - No Value". Also noted was the primary dwelling unit consisting, of
894 square feet, not including the lean to in question or the deck at the northwest
comer of the dwelling.
A rear yard setback required today is 15 feet in the RM -2.4 zone.
The current submitted site plan for the storage/shop shows a 12 foot setback from
the rear property line abutting the alley.
Previous measurement of the alley shows an 18 foot 7 inch alley width.

A measurement of 22 feet was taken from the "lean to" to the fence on the east
1h
side of the alley (404 4 Ave. S.).
The following information needs to be substantiated to fully address your application:
Provide evidence of what degree of structure and use were established prior to
1956 to determine what degree of nonconforming building or use may have been
established. This evidence would contain the year the "lean to" was constructed
and the year the "lean to" was incorporated as habitable space of the dwelling unit
with outside walls and interior and exterior entryways.
Verify the accurate distance from the lean to/storage shed to the rear property line.
Once that information has been submitted and reviewed, the City can determine the
appropriate direction of your building application.
Please call if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and
assistance.

Re: Case #ZE-03-196 (409 31d Avenue South)
Dear Mr. Thies:
We are writing on behalf of Sharon and Terry Dalton, who reside at 409 3 Id Avenue
South in Edmonds. The City of Edmonds has received a land use complaint on the
Daltons' property, and you have asked the Daltons to provide certain information to
the City to resolve the issues raised in the complaint.
As explained in your letter of September 4, 2003, the complaint alleged that a
workshop attached to the southeast comer of the Daltons' home was constructed
and/or attached to the house without a building permit, and that the workshop
encroaches into the required rear yard setback. If the workshop was attached to the
Daltons' home after the City of Edmonds adopted its zoning and building regulations
in 1956, a building permit would have been required, and setback requirements
would have to have been met.
The City has established from Assessor records that the Daltons' home was
constructed in 1925. In addition, notes from a 1972 Assessors field appraisal appear
to characterize the workshop as a "lean to -No Value," and exclude the square footage
of this "'lean-to" from the 894 square feet measurement of the primary dwelling. You
have reached a tentative conclusion from these notes that "it appears that sometime
after 1972 this 'lean-to' was incorporated into the dwelling unit with outside walls and
utilizing an interior and exterior entryway."
Because the City has no building permit on file for this work, you have asked the
Daltons to provide:
[E]vidence of what degree of structure and use were established prior to 1956
to determine what degree of nonconforming building or use may have been
established. This evidence would contain the year the "'lean to" was
constructed and the year the "'lean to" was incorporated as habitable space of
the dwelling unit with outside walls and interior and eAerior entryways.

After receiving your letter, the* Daltons attempted to determine when the workshop
was constructed. Uke the City, the Daltons were unsuccessful in their search of city
records. They have, however, located several people with personal knowledge of
z
409 3rd Avenue South who can definitively state that the workshop, as it appears

today, has been In existence since at least 1947.

As explained in the attached notarized declaration, John H. Kaczka has been well-

late 1940's. Declaration of John H. Kaczka. After outlining a detailed history of his

relationship to the former owners of this property, Mr. Kaczka's declaration explicitly

My name is John I-L Kaczka. I am over 18 years of age. This is my swom statement of facts I know to be true
regarding the history of structure(s) at 409 3rd. Ave. South Edmonds, WA. from the period of 1947 through
current time 2003.
In the 1940's I was stationed at the Bremerton Naval shipyard. While stationed at Bremerton, I went to a dance
for servicemen in Everett, WA. There, I met my future bride, Marianne Campbell . I married Marianne in1947.
Marriane's mother, Mrs. Bessy Campbell Wasser, and Marriane's step father, Mr. Lee Wasser, and Marriane's
brother, Lee Wasser Jr. lived at 403 3rd. Ave. South in Edmonds, next door to Carl Callahan and his first wife
SyMa Callahan, who lived at 409 3rd. Ave. South, along with their son "Buzi" Callahan. I was acquainted with
the Callahan family from the period of 1947 through 1984 when Carl Callahan and his second wife, Gertrude
Callahan sold their home at 409 3rd. Ave. South to my eldest son, John S. Kaczka, and his wife Cheri Kaczka on
October 31,1984.
These are my statements regarding history of 409 3rd. Ave. South, Edmonds WA. In the 1940's only the Wasser's
house at 403, 3rd. Ave. South, Callahan's place at 409 3rcL Ave. South and what we referred in town as the "Hall
mansionr owned by Al Hall, were present on the 400 block of 3rd. Ave. South. The former Hall mansion is no
longer there, where it once stood, today is the site of the "Sound View Apartments" at 417 3rd. Ave. South. All
that remains of the former Hall mansion are the two concrete pilasters at the 3rd Ave. South entry way.
in the 1940's the area I describe appeared as seen in the sketch provided with this document
In the 194o's until Carl Callahan sold the land behind his home at 409 3rcL Ave. South, Callahan had a big old
barn. I used to go out to that barn and work on cars with "Buzi" Callahan, Carl Callahan's son. They called that
old bam, "Ye olde hot rod shoppe". I can absolutely bear witness to existence of an attached work shop at the rear
of Callahan's home, what is being referred to as a shed/lean to. That portion of Callahan's home HAS BEEN AS
rr APPEARS TODAY, AN ENCLOSED WORKSHOP AREA. I do not know when Carl Callahan added this
workshop area at the rear of his home, it was there when I first became acquainted with Car . I and his son "Buzi" in
1947.
I spent many an hour with Carl in this workshop area of his home. Carl was a carpenter by trade, and enjoyed
making garden ornaments of wood in his workshop area. One can see the materials used in the construction of this
workshop area are very old today, as they were present in 1947 when I first became acquainted with the Callahan
&mily. The work shop area had one door and one window on the East side to what is being referred to as an
"alley" today, and one old barn type door and a window on it's South side . Please note in diagram I have provided
that the "alley" access at rear (East) side of my in law's home, Wasser's at 403 3rd. Ave. South curved up, East
into Callahan's other property upon which good his bam. This old alley path curved, and went parallel to what
later became the Southern property line of the address of 318 Walnut Street when that home was built in 1965.
This is my sworn statement that the workshop portion of 409 3rd. Ave. South has been in existence as it is seen
today, as previously described by myself.
The workshop "lean to/shed issue is rhetoric. No matter what one "calls if' the structure being referred to AS
SEEN TODAY, HAS BEEN at the South East comer of the house at 409 3rcL Ave. South as long as I have been
fimwar with this house and its history as far back as 1947 as I have MtedL It was in existence then, present in
1984 when purchased by John S. and Cherie Kaczka in 1984, and present in 1999 when John S. and Cherie
Kaczka sold the house to Terry and Sharon Dalton.

Case: # ZE-03-196, Plan Check # 03-315
Subject Property: 409 3 d Ave. S., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dalton,
I am in receipt of your letter dated September 10, 2003 and received in this office on
September 16, 2003.
The 12 foot rear setback is indicated on your site plan and given the recorded width of the
alley and distance between the lean to and the fence on the east, there appears to be a
discrepancy. The significance is that accurate building property line setbacks are a factor
in plan review.
A building permit is required for drywalling and insulation. Please refer to the enclosed
public handouts entitled "Single Family Residential Work Exempt from City of Edmonds
Building Permit" and "Residential Remodel".
You have not been accused of wrong doing. As my letter of September 4, 2003 stated,
the City received a complaint (a copy has been provided to you) regarding construction
without a pen -nit. Coincidentally, at that time, you did have a permit application in this
office for review. The City has requested evidence to demonstrate what degree of
structure and use were established prior to 1956 to determine what degree of
nonconforming building or use may have been established. Secondly, the City has
requested verification of the accurate distance from the lean to/storage structure to the
rear property line.
The alley measurement was researched when there were previous neighborhood
complaint issues regarding parking in the alley back in 2001/2002. The width is found
and recorded under deed #633687 (enclosed).
We can refer to the structure in question as the lean to/storage structure.

Re: Case #ZE-03-196 (409 — 3rd Avenue South)
Dear Ms. Flora,
This is in response to your request in a letter dated December 17, 2003, and the additional
letter with fee attached, dated December 29, 2003, regarding the property of Sharon and
Terry Dalton at 409 - P Avenue S.
In the letter of December 17, 2003, you provided two notarized declarations, one from
John H. Kaczka and one from Lee E. Wasser, both stating that they had knowledge of the
site from the time before 1956 and they remembered the workshop being constructed as it
is today. You requested that the city determine that the workshop was a legally
established use that does not require a building permit and does not need to meet setback
urther action
requirements, and asked for written confirmation that the City will take no f
with regard to the complaint.
The request has been forwarded to me in the Planning Division to comment on the
setback issue. The Building Official has confirmed that a building permit is required for
the remodeling work. You have submitted a building permit application, our file number
PC-03-315. The building permit application would not have been accepted if the work
had not required a building permit. If you have any questions regarding the building
permit, please contact Jeannine Graf at (425) 771-0220.
The following has been stated in other letters and will just be summarized here:
0 1925 — House constructed at 409 — 3rd Avenue South
0 1956 — First zoning code requires setbacks and first building regulations requires
building permits for attached structures in Edmonds
* 1972 — Assessor notes the lean-to on the house and states "no value"
9 Site is currently zoned Multiple Residential RM-2.4 which requires a 15-foot rear
setback

one door and one window on the east side and one old barn -type door and a
window on the south . side. He states that Carl Callahan was a carpenter by trade
