SUBJECT: NOTICE OF COMPLETENESS FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICATION, LOCATED AT 18424 72nd Ave. West
FILE NO. PLN20160033
Dear Mr. Ketchum:
Your land use application for an accessory dwelling unit located at 18424 72nd Avenue West (File No.
PLN20160033) is considered complete pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
20.02.002. Within the next two weeks I will be notifying your neighbors and the general public, through
postings and legal notice in the paper, of your request to construct an accessory dwelling unit on your
property. The public and your neighbors will be afforded a two week comment period. Once the
comment period is completed, I will continue my review of your application.
Please note, however, that although it has been determined that the application meets the procedural
submission requirements and is therefore complete, additional information may be needed as city staff
continue with review of the application. Staff will contact you as our review continues if additional
information is necessary. I have attached the comments received to date from the city's building division
and engineering division.
Regarding your connection of the ADU to the main house via a 2x4 trellis, this connection does not meet
the definition of "attached" in the city's development code. The Edmonds Community Development
code, section 21.05.010, defines an attached structure as "Any building attached by a breezeway, hallway,
or other similar connection..." To meet the definition of attached the space between the roof of the house
and the roof of the ADU will need to be a solid covering to protect someone from the weather. The other
option would be to connect the roof of the house with the roof of the ADU. A condition of approval for
the ADU will require you to modify the building plans to show a connection that meets the definition of
"attached" under the city code.
I will be the main staff contact for your application. If you have questions at any point during the review
process, you may reach me at (425) 771-0220 or sca ctlnrgLl(c@cirllq7

Development Services Department - Planning Division

Conditional Use Permit Comments
BUILDING DIVISION
July 20, 2016
Leif Bjorback, Building Official
Project Address: 18424 72"d Ave W
Project: Ketchum ADU
A preliminary review was done with the conditional use materials provided and we have the following
comments.
1. A building permit will be required for the modifications to the existing structure and construction
of the addition. This permit will also include the establishment of the space as an accessory
dwelling unit, as recognized by the International Residential Code (IRC).
2. The IRC definition of Dwelling Unit as amended by the state of Washington requires that all
required smoke alarms in the accessory dwelling unit and the primary dwelling unit are
interconnected in such a manner that the actuation of one alarm will activate all alarms in both
the primary dwelling unit and the accessory dwelling unit. The permit drawings should show
compliance with the interconnected smoke alarm requirements as stated above.
3. In lieu of the interconnection of smoke alarms as stated above, the two units may be separated by
fire -rated construction (fire -rated walls and doors). If the option for fire -rated walls is proposed,
the construction drawings will need to include the approved listing and details for the wall
assembly.
4. All other applicable requirements of the building code will be verified under the building permit
review and inspections. See City handout P1 for a representative list of requirements.
