ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW
- STAFF DECISION -
BLD -,2007-1.210:
An application by James Malsch for an interior remodel of an existing multi -family building to remove an
illegal unit as well as exterior modifications to the existing building (Attachment 1). The subject property
is located at 421 Sprague Street in the Multiple -Residential (RM -1.5) zone.
Property Owner:
James Malsch
6824 — 24`x' Ave. NE
Seattle, WA 98115
Site Location:
Applicant:
Wilson & Wilson Construction
16015 Inglewood Rd. NE
Kenmore, WA 98028
421 Sprague Street, located within the Multiple -Residential (RM -1.5) zone.
Project Proposal:
The applicant is proposing an interior remodel to remove an illegal unit as well as exterior modifications,
including replacing the existing windows, repairing and painting the existing siding (change in color from
brown to sage grey), replacement of existing marble-crete material with cedar shingles, and replacement
of existing deck railings. Refer to Attachment 2 for a photo of the existing building. Refer to
Attachments 3 and 4 for building elevations showing the proposed exterior modifications and Attachment
5 for paint samples of the proposed siding and trim colors. The applicant has applied for a building
permit for the proposed remodel under File No. BLD -2007-1210 (Attachment 1).
Design Review Process.
The proposed project requires General Design Review. Projects that remain under the SEPA threshold
are reviewed by staff with the building permit, and the design review is considered an administrative Staff
Decision subject to the requirements of ECDC 20.11 (General Design Review) and 2095.040 (Staff
Decision — No Notice Required).
Analysis:
The proposed modifications to the exterior of the building are generally consistent with the design of the
existing building. The siding of the building currently alternates between vertical sections of brown
painted siding and marble-crete siding (Attachment 2). The proposal includes repairing the existing
brown painted siding and painting it a sage grey as well as replacing the marble-crete siding with cedar
shingles. The walls of the building will continue to be broken up by these vertical sections of alternating
types of siding (sage grey painted siding and cedar shingles). The proposed sage grey color avoids
excessive brilliance and brightness. The update to the existing windows and deck railings is a very minor
change and will be consistent with the existing building design.
