Building Division comments for proposed ADU
Site Address: 7119 165"' Place SW
Owner: Penard/Simpson
In reviewing the above noted application for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), the
Building Division has the following comments:
A separate building permit is required for remodel work to convert this lower floor to an
ADU from the Building Division. All inspections must be made and final occupancy
approval granted by the City Building Inspector prior to the area being used an ADU.
R311.4.2 Requires one exit door to be 3' x 6'8" side -hinged and can not exit through the
garage. Sliding glass door does not meet this requirement.
R310 Requires each sleeping room to have one winndow with a minimum net clear
opening width of 24", height of 20" but not less than 5.7 square feet. Also, maximum sill
height is 44". Although room uses are not specified on the plan provided, the area with
partial wall would be considered a sleeping room, therefore the window in this are will be
required to meet the minimum egress requirements of R310.
Other specific requirements will be addressed upon review of the building permit
application.
