RE: Plan Check BLD20100151
Addition/Remodel of a Single Family Residence at 624 Sunset Avenue North
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the April 29, 2010 resubmittal and redlines
of above building permit application. During review of the subject resubmittal, it was found that
the following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed. Please respond to
the following items, so that I can complete my review: New comments in red.
Property Boundaries
:Addressed. Thank you for providing the survey.
Roof Raise
1.:Not address.The proposal includes raising the roof of the structure that juts out
to the north in order to match the roof line to match the ridge of the adjacent residence. This
portion of the residence is within the street setbacks of Casper, which is 20 feet for the RS-6
zone. Since it is within the setbacks, it is a nonconforming structure. Pursuant to Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC) 17.40.020.B nonconforming structures cannot be
changed or altered in any manner which increases the degree of nonconformity. Raising the
roof within the setback increases the nonconformity by increase the amount of the structure
that is located within the setback, and thus is not allowed. Only that portion of the roof that
is not within the setback may be raised to match the other ridge line.Please revise the plans
indicating the roof will remain at its current height, or only raising the portion of the roof that
is not located within the setback.
Plans still show roof on the existing garage to be raised to match existing ridge of main
residence. For the reasons identified above, this alteration is not allowed. Please revise the
plans indicating the roof will remain at its current height, or only raising the portion of the
roof that is not located within the setback.
Accessory Dwelling Unit
2.:Addressed. ADU covenant sent to be recording on April 27,
2010.
