th
Deck Replacement/Addition @ 21708 98 Avenue W
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above building permit application. During
review of the subject submittal, 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:
Setbacks
1.: The subject property is zoned RS-10 (Single Family Residential). Pursuant to Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC) 16.20.030, the setbacks for RS-10 are:
Zone Minimum Street Minimum Side Setback Minimum Rear
SetbackSetback
RS-10 25 feet 10 feet 20 feet
The plot plan submitted with the application shows the new deck five feet from the northern property
line, which is not compliant with the proscribed zoning setback of 10 feet for the RS-10 zone.
From historical photos and Snohomish County Assessor information, it appears that the existing deck
was originally constructed in the current location when the residence was constructed. This portion
of the deck is considered nonconforming according to ECDC 17.40.020 and may be reconstructed to
its current location.
All new portions of the deck (including the roof) must comply with the proscribed zoning
requirements in ECDC 16.20. The roof supports must be located at least 10 feet from the northern
property boundary, but according to ECDC 16.20.040.B, the eaves may extend not more than 30
inches into the setback.
Please revise the deck plans so the proposed deck and deck roof are compliant with the required
setbacks for the RS-10 as proscribed by ECDC 16.20.030.
The spiral staircase appears to be a later unpermitted addition. These stairs must be removed and
replaced with new stairs that are compliant with the required setbacks.
Height Calculations
2.: Please show the average grade, maximum allowable height, and actual height
on one of the elevation views.
Plot Plan
3.: Please revise the plot plan to clearly show the location of the existing deck and the
locations of the proposed deck and roof lines.
