RE: File # BLD-2009-0290
Dear Applicant,
st
addition20918 81 Place West
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for an at
RS-8
in the zone. 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 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.Deck:
Please provide some additional clarification on the deck(s). It looks like there is an
existing deck along the western side of the property, and it looks like a portion of it will be
removed, is this correct? And the site plan shows the “proposed” addition grayed-out – does
this area include the new deck, too? Because it looks like it’s connecting to the existing deck
(which is not grayed-out, but which protrudes quite a bit further west than the addition. I just
need to make sure that (1) the deck meets the minimum 15’ west setback, and if it does not,
is it existing? And, what is its height from the ground? Is it under 3 feet? If it is
unenclosed, uncovered, and under 3 feet in height, it may project into the western setback up
to four feet. Please provide clarification on the deck, which will aide in my review.
2.Setbacks:
The western wall of the addition appears to meet setbacks at the base/ground, but
then begins to slant west – is this correct? Please clarify. Please revise plans if the top of the
wall does not meet setbacks – the top of the wall must also be at least 15 feet from the
western property line. Up to 30” of eaves may project into the required setback – do the
eaves meet setbacks, or will they need to be reduced in length?

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.Lot Coverage:
It appears that this proposal is hovering right around the maximum 35% lot
coverage required in single-family zones. When you respond to question #1, above, please
be aware that if the deck is over 3’ in height, it will be included in the lot coverage
calculation (total footprint of all buildings or structures must not exceed 35% of lot area).
Sincerely,
Gina Coccia
Associate Planner
