Subject: Lot Combination at 431 — 12th Avenue North
Dear Mr. Chigaras and Mr. Herman,
GARY HAAKENSON
MAYOR
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a retaining wall at 431 — 12th Ave. N,
which is located in the RS -12 zone. I have reviewed the building permit application
(BLD20100547) for the Planning Division and found that there are two parcels that make up this
building lot. The parcel line actually runs through the existing residence. This interior property
line must be dissolved in order to comply with the City's nonconforming lot requirements of
ECDC 17.40.030(C). You may ask the Snohomish County Assessor's Segregation Department
(425.388.3525) to dissolve the interior property line, which would resolve this issue, based on
the following facts.
The current zoning designation for this site is Single Family Residential (RS -12, ECDC 16.20).
There are two adjacent parcels that comprise this site — 00507200002501 (northernmost) and
00507200002400 (southernmost). Their legal descriptions are expressed as follows:
MAPLEWOOD VILLAGE NO 4 BLK 000 D-01 - LT 25 EXC TH PTN THOF LY NLY OF
FDL BEG NW COR SD LT TH S00*09 06 W 23.28FT TO TPB OF SD LN TH S83*31 14E
191.38FT TO ELY BDY SD LT & END SD LN — and — MAPLEWOOD VILLAGE NO 4 BLK
000 D-00 - LOT 24, Parcel 00507200002501 contains approximately 0.17 acre according to
Snohomish County Assessor's records (approximately 7,405 square feet), while Parcel
00507200002400 contains approximately 0.28 acre according to Snohomish County Assessor's
records (approximately 12,197 square feet). The City of Edmonds nonconforming lot
regulations (ECDC 17.40.030) require at least 8,400 square feet for a "legal lot" in the RS -12
zone. Therefore, because one of the parcels appears to be well below the minimum lot size
needed for a legal lot and because both parcels are held in common ownership, they are
considered to be "combined" by ECDC 17.40.030(C). Please consider this the City of

Edmonds's consent to dissolve the interior lot line that bisects the site addressed as 431 — 12t"
Ave. N. All code citations can be found on the City of Edmonds website:
www.ci.edmonds.wa.us. A vicinity map is attached that identifies the parcels in question.
Please provide documentation to the City of Edmonds once these two parcels have been
combined at Snohomish County.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at (425) 771-0220.
