Subject: Re: Plan Review Comments on Rutledge Addition (BLD20160462)
Jen Machuga,
I appreciate your concerns and will be able to attend to them in more detail at the end of next week since I am
out of town this week and the early part of next week.
Please note: At no time will this "Dwelling" be intended for use as a rental unit.
There was no intent to do so, ever.
I am acutely aware that this area is zoned single family residence and I would have it built it much differently, if
it were a rental.
I suppose some people do things that way, I do not have the intention to do so.
I am going thru the proper channels to get this thing built, why would there be a question about this?
It is being built with that intention in mind, meant to be as an extension of my home to house my adult son(or
any other member of my family) who cannot afford the cost of living out on his own.
This is meant to be only an addition to my home, to give my 31 year old son(and myself), the privacy he
needs.
I would appreciate your assistance in helping resolve this matter as soon as possible, we are looking forward
to having this project completed.
I am out of town presently & will attend to further questions regarding this matter, upon my return at the end of
next week.

Please address any further questions to the contractor who filed for the permit, Tim Hapke, he represents me
in this matter.
He has been very accommodating in our requests and yours, to be sure this structure is legal & up to city code
standards, and is working on the matter of corrections you require.
Please contact him directly at 425-435-9796 to obtain an email address so that he may be kept informed about
things he needs to take care of.
Thank you,
Rory Rutledge

I have read the requirements for Accessory Dwelling Units contained in Chapter 20.21 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) and understand that an Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) as defined in ECDC Section 21.05.015 is prohibited until the required ADU
permit(s) are approved and any required inspections are finalized.
I also understand that an ADU permit cannot be approved unless all the criteria in Chapter 20.21
are met, and all the necessary items are submitted, including an affidavit of occupancy and a
covenant to be filed with the Snohomish County regarding the regulations imposed on ADUs.
I am notrequesting to establish an Accessory Dwelling Unit on my propertyas part of the
subject building permit application (File No. BLD20160462), and I will obtain all applicable
ADU permits if I choose to establish an ADU in the futureprior to establishing such ADU. I
understand that the city’s review of the subject building permit application does not imply any
future approval of an ADU.
I declare under penalty of perjury laws that the above informationis true, correctand
complete,and that I am the owner of the above described property.

RUTLEDGEADDITIONLOCATED AT 7717 –192PL. SW
Dear Mr. Rutledge:
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 review can continue:
Site Plan:
1.Please make the following corrections to your site plan:
a.Correct the direction of the North arrow.
b.It appears that the property dimensionsare shownincorrectly on your site plan.Based on the
property’s legal description and the Kroll map book, it appears that the property is 100’by 164.93’.
Please label all property dimensions and ensure that the lot is drawn accurately and to scale.
c.After correcting the property dimensions as needed, please update the lot area on the site plan.
d.Indicate whether the two existing patios shown on the site plan are covered.
e.Indicate the proposed stairwell on the site plan.
Setbacks:
2.Minimum required setbacks for the RS-8 zone are as follows: Street = 25’, Side = 7.5’, Rear =
15’. After making the above requested corrections to the property dimensions, please indicate the shortest
distances from the proposed addition to all property lines.
AccessoryDwelling Unit:
3.An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is defined as “a structure attached to or
constructed within a single-family dwelling which has living facilities for one individual or family
separate from the primary single-family dwelling including at least, but not limited to, a kitchen,
bathroom, and sleeping quarters.”It appears that you are proposing an ADUdue to the presence of a
kitchen, bathroom and sleeping quarters within the addition. Please note that an ADU requires separate
land use application review and approval before a building permit can be approved for the construction of
an ADU. Refer to ECDC Chapter 20.21for the regulations related to ADUs, including certain restrictions
on the size of the ADU, occupancy requirements, on-site parking, and additional requirements. Please
contact me to further discuss the land use review process and requirements for an ADU.
Height Calculations:
4.Your height calculations indicate an actual height of 100’, which is equivalent to the
average grade. It appears this is an error, as your elevation view indicates that the proposed height is 21
feet above the 100’elevationline, which would cause the proposed height to be 121’. Please correct the
height calculations as needed and indicate the proposed height as related to the elevation of the datum
point. Additionally, on the elevation view, please label the average original grade, proposed height, and
maximum allowed height as such.
Lot Coverage:Lot coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings or structures on a site
5.
measured from the outside of external walls or supporting members excluding a maximum of 30” of
eaves. The maximum allowed lot coverage within the RS-8zone is 35% of the net lot area. Thank you
for indicating the proposed lot coverage on the site plan.In order for staff to verify these calculations,
please indicate the dimensions of all sides of the existing structure and proposed addition on the site plan.
The lot coverage calculationsmust include the footprint of the existing residence and proposed addition
(excluding up to 30”of eaves) as well as the proposed covered deck, proposed stairwell, existing covered
walkway and any other existingor proposed structures on the site. In addition to indicating the
dimensionsof all existing and proposedstructureson your site plan, please ensure that the total square
footage of the proposed lot coverage is correct and also indicate this number as a percentage of the net lot
area.
Floor Plan:
6.Please indicate the dimensions of the proposed addition, deck, and stairs on the floor plan.
Please submit twocopies of your revised site plan and two copies of any revised building plan sheets to a
Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
between 8:00am and 4:30pm, and Wednesdays between 8:30am and noon.If you have any questions, feel free
to contact me at (425) 771-0220or Jen.Machuga@edmondswa.gov
