RE: BLD-2009-0238 | Chase Signage @ 8105 244 Street SW, Edmonds (CG Zone)
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for new Chase Bank signage at 8105
th
Street SW in the CG zone. I have reviewed the above building permit application for the
244
Planning Division and it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications
will need to be addressed before the Planning Division review can continue. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this
project.

Please provide a written response to the items mentioned below…
1.Existing Signage:
I looked through the file for this site and it appears that there are several
other old existing Washington Mutual signs (wall and monument) that are not shown on your
plans. Please clarify that you indent to remove all existing signs. If you intend to reface any
existing signs (including incidentals and the eastern monument sign), please note that as
well. I need to calculate the maximum sign area permitted for the site and ensure that you’re
not proposing to exceed this figure.
2.Critical Areas:
I searched our database and discovered that this site does not have a “critical
areas checklist” completed – see enclosed – this requirement began in the early 1990s and is
triggered when any new digging on site is proposed (for example, the construction of new
pole sign) in order to ensure that if there are any critical areas onsite (streams, wetlands,
slopes) that they are protected. Once the checklist is completed, it runs with the land. The
fee is $155 – please see enclosed checklist, fill it out (including signatures) and turn it back
in and I will complete the critical areas reconnaissance at my very earliest. It appears that
there may be erosion hazard areas on site (slopes of 15-39%) so I will just need to verify that
the new pole sign is not near this area. Thank you.

Please also redline your plans to reflect any changes – or, if you are submitting new plans, please submit three site plans (one must be reduced
size) and two sets of the changed pages of the plans. Please make all submittals to the Development Services Permit Coordinator (Linda
Thornquist) All code citations can be found on the City of Edmonds website: www.ci.edmonds.wa.us.

3.New Wall Signs:
It appears that you’re proposing two new wall signs – are you proposing
any logo signs or any other wall signs at this time that I will need to take into account? Are
there any existing wall signs that you plan on keeping and re-facing?
4.New Pole Sign:
ECDC 20.60.045.G requires landscaping at the base of the sign (in the
amount twice the size of the sign area). Please indicate this landscaping on your site plan,
even if it already exists. Also, is the new sign rectangular or triangular? How many sign
faces does it have? Could you sketch a bird’s eye view of this new sign so I can be sure I’m
calculating the sign area correctly?
Thank you kindly,
Gina Coccia
