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:
1.Shed: Please add the dimensions of the existing shed to the site plan, and also add the distance from
the shed to the north and west property lines. If the shed is under 600 square feet in area, it may be
located as close as 5 feet from the rear (north) property line, but it must still meet the minimum 7.5
foot side (west) setback. Also, what is the height? Please make sure it is under 15 feet.
2.Coverage: The maximum lot coverage in all single family zones is 35% of the total lot area. Please
provide the area (footprint) of the existing shed, the existing house, and the existing garage, so I can
make sure that you do not exceed this figure with the new deck.
ECDC 21.15.110 Coverage means the total ground coverage of all buildings or structures on a site measured
from the outside of external walls or supporting members or from a point two and one-half feet in from the
outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area.
3.Height: Sheet S3 indicates that the height of the new deck “varies.” However, I need to know the
height (especially along the western side of the deck), as measured from the top of the deck to the
ORIGINAL grade (not from any fill that may have been brought in). If it is over 30 inches, then the
deck needs to meet the minimum 7.5 foot side (west) setback. If it is less than 30 inches at all points,
then the uncovered portion may project up to 2.5 feet (1/3 of the setback distance, or 5 feet from the
west property line).
ECDC 16.20.040.C Uncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required
setback not more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are
no more than 30 inches above ground level at any point.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please provide a written response to the above mentioned items. And,
please redline your plans to reflect any changes – or, if you are submitting new plans, please submit 3
Please make all
site plans (one must be reduced size) and 2 sets of the changed pages of the plans.
submittals to the Development Services Permit Coordinator (JoAnne Zulauf) 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.
