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:
Site Plan:
1. Please answer the following questions about your site plan.
a. The building permit lists carport enclosures as work proposed – where on the site plan are the
carports you plan to enclose, and what will they look like?
b. Are you proposing to change the exterior dimensions (adding/removing patios/decks/projecting
modulation)? If so, where – please note that you must meet the minimum setbacks in place for
the zone. The minimum street setback (south) is 15 feet, the minimum rear (north) setback is 15
feet, and the minimum side setbacks (east/west) are 10 feet.
c. Are you proposing to change the roofline at all? If so, we need to make sure that it remains under
the height limit. Please provide height calculations ensuring that you meet the height limit
pursuant to ECDC 16.30.
Landscape Plan:
2. The original landscape plan was reviewed and approved by the Architectural
Design Board as required (ADB-1978-9). Any modifications to landscaping require design review.
a. Please call out all NEW and EXISTING landscaping, as well as any landscaping to be replaced.
b. It looks like you propose to remove some of the parking stalls and in their place expand the
landscaping – is this correct? Please label all existing and proposed parking spaces. Please
review ECDC chapter 17.50.020.A.1.b and make sure that you prove that you meet the minimum
number of parking spaces required on site. The table has been provided below, for your
convenience:
Type of multiple dwelling unit Required parking spaces per dwelling unit
Studio 1.2
1 bedroom 1.5
2 bedrooms 1.8
3 or more bedrooms 2.0

c. It looks like you show arbors on the landscape plan – are these existing or proposed? If they are
proposed, please show a detail of their height and dimensions. Arbors are included in the fence
chapter, ECDC 17.30 – I’ve included some parts that may be applicable to this project, below.
ECDC 17.30.035.A.1
“Arbor” is a separate freestanding or attached structure that has a lattice roof and lattice walls or a horizontal lattice
work structure serving to roof a gate or entrance way.
ECDC 17.30.035.C
1. A trellis up to two additional feet in height to a maximum of eight feet may be added as a decorative element to a
fence so long as the combined length of the trellis(es) constructed facing a property line do not exceed 25 percent of the
total length of that property line.
2. A trellis up to two additional feet in height to a maximum of eight feet may be added as a decorative element to a
fence facing a street, alley or access easement so long as the trellis remains free of any plantings, vegetation or other
visual obstruction.
3. An arbor up to three additional feet in height to a nine-foot maximum may be constructed over a gate, walkway or
entrance. \[Ord. 3348 § 1, 2001\].
Signage:
3. Do you plan to make changes to any of the existing signage? If so, please contact a permit
coordinator for information on obtaining a sign permit.
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 (Marie Harrison) 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
