During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.
General Review Notes:
1.The purpose of this building permit is an addition to and remodel of an existing single
family dwelling, and to verify the required construction for the use of the structure for an
intended use as an Adult Family Home (AFH). The allowance for the use of the structure
as an AFH is determined by the approval of the Washington State Department of Social and
Health Services (DSHS). An important part of the DSHS AFH approval process is the
Adult Family Home (AFH) Local Building Inspection Checklist see attachment City of
Edmonds Adult Family Home Permit Submittal Requirements. This form contains very
specific information regarding the requirements for an AFH that may not be represented on
the building plans but will be verified by field inspection. The following plan review
comments reflect the requirements found on the AFH checklist in addition to those
regarding the submitted construction documents.

2.Project Valuation Provide a document establishing the building valuation using the criteria
