1. A Traffic Impact Analysis is required by the Engineering Division. I have enclosed the form for
you to fill out and turn in – please contact Lyle Chrisman in the Engineering Division at
425.771.0220 if you have any questions.
2. The Fire Department wanted me to let you know that a fire hydrant will be required, but that they
will review this with your building permit.
3. What is the height/bulk of the elevator? Please review the following definition of “Height,”
underlined for emphasis – we’ll confirm that it meets the height limit with the building permit,
however I’d like to make sure we think it will meet this code with this application as well.
21.40.030 Height.
A. Height means the average vertical distance, from the average level of the undisturbed soil of the site covered by a
structure, to the highest point of the structure. (See subsection (C) of this section for exceptions to this rule.)
B. “Average level” shall be determined by averaging elevations of the downward projections of the four corners of the
smallest rectangle which will enclose all of the building, excluding a maximum of 30 inches of eaves. If a corner falls off
the site, its elevation shall be the average elevation of the two points projected downward where the two sides of the
rectangle cross the property line. (See subsection (C)(1) of this section for exceptions to this rule.)
C. Height Exceptions.
1. In the MPOR zone, “height” means the vertical distance above the average elevation of the top of the curb adjacent
to the subject property, within the public right-of-way. Average shall be measured averaging the elevation of the curb at
the points where the projected property lines and the curb intersect. Where no curb or sidewalk exists, use the designed
curb elevation. (See the remaining provisions in this subsection for exceptions to this rule);
2. Church steeples;
3. Elevator penthouses, not to exceed 72 square feet in horizontal section, or three feet in height, for that portion
above the height limit;
4. Chimneys, not to exceed nine square feet in horizontal section or more than three feet in height, for that portion
above the height limit. In RM districts, chimneys shall be clustered. No multiple-flue chimney shall exceed 39 square feet
in horizontal section. The first chimney shall not exceed nine square feet in horizontal section, and other chimneys shall
not exceed six square feet in horizontal section;
5. Vent pipes not to exceed 18 inches in height above the height limit; and
6. Standpipes not to exceed 30 inches in height above the height limit. \[Ord. 3569 § 2, 2005\].
4. Sheet A3.0 – We only have 5 color copies (11x17) in the file. Please submit at least 5 additional
copies (we need 7 for the ADB, 1 for the file, 1 for the Hearing Examiner, and 1 more for the
file).
5. Sheet A3.1 – We only have 6 color copies (11x17) in the file. Please submit at least 4 additional
copies (we need 7 for the ADB, 1 for the file, 1 for the Hearing Examiner, and 1 more for the
file).
Please be aware that your presence at the hearing is highly advisable. If an applicant or his representative
is not present, the item may be moved to the end of the agenda. Items not reached by the end of the
hearing will be continued to the following month’s agenda. If you have further questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 425.771.0220, extension 1778. Thank you for your interest in development in
the City of Edmonds – I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
