Resubmittals can be made at the Development Services Department on the 2nd floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th & F from 8am-4:30pm and on Wednesdays from 8:30am-noon.
City of Edmonds handouts, standard details, application and other forms, and development code
may be referenced on the City website: www.edmondswa.gov under Services/Permits and
Development.
GENERAL
1) Submit ROW Permit Application form (this is for the driveway replacement and if needed
utility install).
2) Submit Side Sewer Permit Application form.
3) Please provide plans that can be scaled.
4) Please revise the title of the Site Plan since the plan is no longer preliminary construction
plans.
5) Show all City easements. There is a 12' utility easement that runs along the south and east
property lines.
6) Show all City utilities (water, sewer, and storm) that are adjacent to the site.
7) All utilities should be shown from the city main line to the structure.
8) Show all existing and proposed frontage improvements (i.e. sidewalk, driveway approaches,
curb/gutter, etc.).
9) The City's policy is that any existing frontage improvements adjacent to the site being
developed will need to be brought up to current ADA standards.
a. The driveway approach does not meet current ADA standards and will need to be
removed and replaced. Please show the driveway approach per Edmonds Standard
Detail E2.26.
b. There is no curb ramp at the NW corner of the T-intersection at Skyline Dr. Please
show a ramp being constructed consistent with City and WSDOT standards. A
designed drawing will be required, but could be a deferred permit submittal.
c. The ramp at the SW corner of the T-intersection of Skyline Dr will also need to be
constructed.
Per state code,
RCW 35.68.075
(3) Upon September 21, 1977, every ramp thereafter constructed under
subsection (1) of this section, which serves one end of a crosswalk, shall be matched
by another ramp at the other end of the crosswalk. However, no ramp shall be
required at the other end of the crosswalk if there is no curb nor sidewalk at the
other end of the crosswalk. Nor shall any matching ramp constructed pursuant to
this subsection require a subsequent matching ramp,
RCW 47.04.010 (10)
(10) "Crosswalk. " The portion of the roadway between the intersection area and a
prolongation or connection of the farthest sidewalk line or in the event there are no
sidewalks then between the intersection area and a line ten feet therefrom, except as
modified by a marked crosswalk;
Please show a ramp being constructed consistent with City and WSDOT standards.
A designed drawing will be required, but could be a deferred permit submittal.
d. Any sidewalk that doesn't meet current ADA along the subject site will need to be
replaced. Revise the plans accordingly.
e. Add a note to the plans stating existing failing, damaged or non-ADA compliant
frontage improvements shall be removed and replaced as determined by the City
Engineering Inspector.
10) Please show a 2' asphalt cut where any curb replacement is to occur.
11) Show the rockery on the plans.
12) Please label the driveway material.
13) The rockery was approved and inspected in 1976 under permit number BLD 19760350. For
this reason, the City is not requiring the removal of the rockery. However, under current
City code, construction of rockeries is prohibited within the City of Edmonds under certain
circumstances and in certain situations per Edmonds Community Development Code
18.40.020. There is also a 12' easement along the property frontage that states that no
structures can be built within the easement. The City views rockeries as structures.
Therefore, if any portion of the rockery is removed the rockery cannot be replaced in its
same location.

conditions. Please revise the plans accordingly.
