Subject: Letter of Completeness and Request of Additional Information
Lot Line Adjustment Application PLN20140007
Mr. Duvey,
On behalf of the City of Edmonds Planning Division, I have reviewed your application for a lot
line adjust (LLA) between the properties addressed as 7031 and 7105 — 180" Street SW for
completeness pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.02.002 and
20.75.050.D. The City has determined that the application meets the procedural submission
requirements and therefore is complete. Please accept this letter as the City's notice to applicant
of determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003. While the application is
procedurally complete, additional information and clarifications are needed for continued review
of the application. Please respond to the following so review of this application can proceed:
1. Easements:
a. Drainage: The 15 -foot drainage easement along the western portion of Parcel B
recorded on AFN 2185055 was granted to Snohomish County. The City of
Edmonds has a storm line located within that easement area. An easement for the
benefit of the City of Edmonds must be established for the storm line.
b. Access: It appears from the site plan submitted with the building permit for the
new single-family residence on 7105 — 180"' St. SW that the two properties will
be sharing a driveway. An access easement must be established (for the benefit of
both parcels) for the shared driveway.
2. West Line: The proposed new line in the northwest portion of parcel at (N55°56'57"E
56.13ft) needs to be adjusted. It is understood that the proposed lot line adjustment is
intended to move the property line that currently runs through the existing residence.
However, the new lot line cannot make existing nonconforming setbacks more
nonconforming pursuant to ECDC 20.75.050.0.2. By angling this line, the setback for
the residence becomes more nonconforming (rear setbacks in the RS -8 zone are 15 feet).
In order to remain compliant with ECDC 20.75.050.C.2, this line should continue west at
the point where the existing line crosses the existing fence at least to a point where the
new line if angled down would maintain a 15 -foot setback from the existing residence.
Net and Gross Lot Area: Update the gross and net lot area for each lot to take in account
the access easement for the shared driveway. It is also noted that on the current plans
2,148 square feet was removed from the lot area of Parcel B. Only access easements
must be removed from the gross lot area. If the area deducted was for the drainage
easement recorded under AFN 2185055, this easement does not need to be deducted from
the gross lot are of Parcel B. While the title report noted AFN 24185055 was an
ingress/egress and drainage easement, the easement itself notes that it is a "perpetual
easement for drainage only."
4. Parcel labeling: Please revise the LLA documents so the labeling of the parcels is
consistent. Sheet 2 labels at the properties as Parcel I and Parcel 2. Sheet 3 Labels the
properties as Parcel A and Parcel B. The note regarding removing the shed on shcet 3
references Lot 1.
Shed: There is an existing shed on Parcel A which is noted to be relocated within "Lot I99
at correct setbacks. While this is noted on the `Before LLA" side of Sheet 3, the position
of the relocated shed is not shown on the "After LLA" side of Sheet 3. Please show the
proposed location of the shed after the LLA.
6. Signature Block for Planning: Please include a signature block for Planning Division
approval on the LLA documents.
7. File Number: Please add the LLA file number to the LLA documents, PLN20140007.
According to ECDC 20.02.003.1), the above requested information must be submitted within 90
days (or by June 24, 2014) or the application will expire.
