RE: Estate ofGabriella Muellier @ It 58 A Avenue South, Edmonds
Dear Mr. Kaplan:
Upon City inspection performed at I 158 A Avenue South oil November 29, 2005, the following
issues are noted for correction:
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The lower area is conducive for a separate dwelling
unit. If the estate has no interest ill Pursuing discretionary permit approval for the second
unit the enclosed covenant is required to be recorded against the property informing
future owners of ADU permitting regulations. Please sign (under notary) and return to
my office with the processing fee of$34.00.
Purported building code violations. The most recent permit issued to the address was a
1986 addlitim yesterday the inspector observed work (remodeling to accommodate the
second unit) believed to be fairly recent --also the following code violations were noted:
hot water tank relief does not vent to the exterior, hot water tanks not property insulated,
illegal S trap, dryer vent piping flex material not permitted, ducts in concealed spaces to
be hard piped, venting for gas appliances sliall be B vented —not single wall pipe, laundry
room not property vented, exterior stairs missing handrail, snioke detector not working,
combustion air for the mechanical room must be calculated and verified, junction box
missing cover plate, kitchen/bath fail vent termination to be field verified, adjacent
windows to exterior stair not safety glazed, minimum natural ventilation not provided in
habitable rooms.
Essentially we believe that remodeling did occur to accommodate the second unit including a
new furnace and associated plumbing to accommodate the kitchen, bath, laundry, etc. The City
requires that a remodel ing/niechanical/p I Unibing pernih be obtained and we are willing to issue
such under a subject to field inspection pernin. The city Inspector would determine in the field
what walls would need to be exposed in order to inspect hidden structural, plumbing and
mechanical systems, etc. Any noted code ViOlati011(S) Would be required to be corrected. The
Estate would not be charged violation fees but would be required to pay normal building permit
fees as with any remodeling project of this nature (estimated permit fees $575.00). The Estate
sliall also be required to obtain a State Electrical Permit and gain State Inspector approvals.

RE: Estate ofGabriella Muelber 1158 A Avenue South, Edmonds
Dear Mr. Kaplan:
The Building Division has completed review of the remodeling permit application for the
Muelher property at 1158 A Avenue South and is prepared to issue the permit. Since the Estate
will not apply for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit, the kitchen area in the lower floor
must be removed or, a Statement on Accessory Dwelling Unit Covenant must be executed. A
kitchen area consists of a combination of the following: cabinets, counters, sink, vents, fans,
stove, etc. The Covenant form and corresponding ECDC code section have been enclosed for
your review and possible signature.
The City has agreed to issue the remodeling permit subject to field and has preliminary identified
several building code related items that need to be corrected for example; the hot water tank
relief line, the S trap, the clothes dryer vent piping, the heating ducts, the venting for the gas
furnace, the laundry room and bathroom fan exhaust, smoke detectors, combustion air for
mechanical equipment in confined spaces, exterior stair handrail, protection ofexterior stair
windows, minimum natural light and ventilation in habitable rooms, etc.
The City Inspector will determine in the field what walls need to be exposed in order to inspect
hidden structural, plumbing and mechanical systems, etc. Any noted code violation(s) would be
required to be corrected within 30 calendar days. Please inform my office in writing whether the
Estate will execute the Covenant or remove the kitchen area; upon receipt of this information the
City shall issue the permit.
Sincerely,
Jeannine L. Graf
