RE: Planning Division comments for file » Kennebrew Deck
st
deck demo and replacement7823 191 Street
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for a at
SWRS-8
in the zone. I have reviewed the above building permit March 22, 2013 resubmittal materials for the
Planning Division and it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be
addressed before the Planning Division review can continue.New comments are in red.
1.Elevations:
PARTIALLY ADDRESS. How tall is the deck (from original grade)? If it is over 3 feet, please
make note of this on the project plans and add it to your lot coverage calculations on the site plan. The March
22, 2013 site plan indicates the deck is 8 feet in height. However, coverage calculations have not been
provided. Please provide lot coverage calculations as noted below.
2.Site Plan:
a.Setbacks:
NOT ADDRESSED. Unfortunately, the minimum “street” setback in the RS-8 zone is 25 feet,
which means that all structures must remain at least 25’ away from the east and south property lines. The
deck is currently shown at 11’ from the east property line. Please revise to meet code and update the site
plan and project plans accordingly. While the setbacks on the site plan have been changed, the setbacks
indicated do not appear accurate. Please note setbacks are taken from the property line, which is not
necessarily the edge of the pavement. The enclosed map of your property indicates the approximate
location of the property lines for this site. It appears that the house is approximately 25 feet from both
stth
Street SW and 78 Place West. The deck appears to have been located approximately 16 feet from
191
the property line. Please submit an accurate site plan and revise the deck to meet zoning setback
requirements.
:
b.Lot CoverageNOT ADDRESSED. Please show the breakdown of lot coverage on the site plan. ECDC
21.15.110 defines coverage, which must be shown on the site plan: “Coverage means the total ground
coverage of all buildings or structures on a site measured from the outside of external walls or supporting
members or from a point two and one-half feet in from the outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever
covers the greatest area.” Please provide the square footage of the existing house, proposed deck (if over
3’), and any detached structures on the site plan. Please also include the lot area (and dimensions) on the
site plan. The total coverage in single family zones must not exceed 35% of the lot area. Please provide
lot coverage calculations.

Please submit a written response to the above, along with any revised plans to your Permit Coordinator Linda
Thornquist. All code citations can be found at: www.EdmondsWA.gov. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
