Dear Applicant,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found
that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before
review can continue:
Height of PUD Pole:
1. Pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) chapter
18.05.030.B.3 (underlined for emphasis):
A PUD transmission pole may be extended or replaced with a new pole that is increased
in height to allow one wireless carrier to mount antennas on an existing structure. The
new pole height may be increased by no more than the sum of the height of the wireless
antennas plus 15 feet of vertical separation from the power lines. The 15-foot vertical
separation is intended to allow wireless carriers to comply with PUD requirements for
separation between their transmission line and the carrier’s antennas. All other
components of the wireless facility must comply with Chapter 20.50 ECDC, Wireless
Communications Facilities. PUD transmission poles are those poles which are carrying
50 kV or greater power lines. \[Ord. 3580 § 2, 2006; Ord. 2491, 1985\].
You show the existing pole is 65 feet and the height of the antennas is 2.98 feet, but you
show the height of the new structure as 84.5 feet. Please show how your project meets the
height requirement. Please show the 15 foot separation (the drawings are not to scale).
Separation Requirement:
2. Pursuant to ECDC 20.50.010.F:
In single-family residential (RS) zones, micro facilities for a specific wireless provider
shall be separated by a distance equal to or greater than 1,320 linear feet from other
micro facilities of the same wireless provider. \[Ord. 3099 § 1, 1996\].
Please show on a vicinity map how your project meets this separation requirement.

Sheds:
3. During the Critical Areas inspection, I noticed that the “existing shed” as shown on
the site plan is just a large portable canopy tent. It does not meet the minimum setback
requirement for the zone (10 feet from the side property lines and as close as 5 feet from the
rear property line because it is shown under 600 square feet in area). The maximum height
of accessory structures, such as tool sheds, is 15 feet. Please revise the site plan to show that
the existing accessory structures are moved to meet setbacks. Please also check with a
Permit Coordinator to see if a permit is required.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please redline plans or submit three sets of revised
plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the above items.
Please make all submittals to the Development Services Permit Coordinator (Theresa Umbaugh)
Monday through Friday, 9am to noon or 1pm to 4pm. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (425) 771-0220, extension 1778. I look forward to working with you on
this project.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS
Gina Coccia, Planner
