Planning Division comments for building permit file »Dr. Takagi Sign
Greetings,
th
Avenue WestRM-2.4
monument sign21906 76in the zone.
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for at
I have reviewed the above building permit application 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.
1.Site Plan:
a.
Please submit a site plan, to scale, showing the location of the sign as well as the building footprint.The building
footprint is important, because it determines the total sign area allowed for the site–which can then be divided
between wall signs and the freestanding sign.I’ve attached a sample site plan from an old file that you’re welcome
to use as a starting point.
b.
Please show landscaping at the base of the sign.Please provide the quantity, spacing, and name of plants to be used.
Per ECDC 20.60.045.G.1, “each freestanding sign shall have a landscaped area twice the size of the sign area at
the base of the sign.”
:
2.Critical Areas DeterminationPlease submit a Critical Areas Checklist for this property, complete with the property
owner’s signature and review fee of $155 (checks payable to the City of Edmonds).A Critical Areas Determination is
required to be completed prior to any proposed digging on the site, and one has not be issued yet for this property. Please
see attached. Once the determination has been made, it runs with the land and does not need to be repeated.Planning
staff has never been out to the site to look specificallyfor streams, wetlands, or steep slopes (critical areas), so there is no
information in the database.
3.Existing/Proposed Signage:
Please provide information on any existing signs, for example:wall signs. These need to be
taken into account so I can figureout how much sign area is left for the site.Is this the only business located on this site?
4.Lighting:
Will the proposed cabinet be internally illuminated? Please provide details on the proposed lighting, if any.
Per ECDC 20.60.020.M, “the background color of a boxed cabinet sign face must be coordinated with and compliment
the colors used on the building,” and “the background color of a boxed cabinet sign face must be opaque and not allow
any internal illumination to shine through.”Please clarify that the above requirements can be met, and if not, please
revise as necessary.
:
Please submit a written response to the above, along with any revised plans to your Permit CoordinatorMarie Harrison.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Gina Janicek::
