Permit Center hours are M, T, Th & F from 8am-4:30pm and on Wednesdays from 8:30am-noon.

CXNF.RAL
1) The plans provided do not clearly show the limits of the existing driveway. It is understood
that the current conditions include additional gravel area beyond what the original
conditions were. Please show the extents of the previously existing gravel surfaces on the
plans, as well as the extents of the gravel surfaces in the current condition.
2) The driveway approaches are required to be paved and shall extend from the edge of the
existing street (back of sidewalk) a distance of 20 feet or to the edge of the property line,
whichever is greater (Edmonds City Code 18.80.060C). Please adjust the plans accordingly.
3) Adding gravel beyond the extents of the previously existing driveway limits, as well as
adding pavement to the driveway approaches, will count toward new and replaced
impervious surface areas. If all new and replaced impervious surface areas exceed 2000sf,
stormwater mitigation will be required. Revise the total new and replaced impervious
surfaces on the plans to include the new gravel drive surfaces and paved driveway
approaches.
• Please note that refreshing existing hard -pack drive surfaces with new gravel will not
count toward the total new and replaced impervious surface areas; adding new gravel
outside of existing hard -pack drive surfaces will count toward the total new and
replaced impervious surface areas.
WATER
1) Based on review by the Building Department, the existing 3/4" meter will not provide
sufficient demand for the proposed fixture count for the existing single family plus the
addition. For this reason, the existing meter will need to be upsized to a 1" meter, which will
require a new tap by the City on the City's water main. The applicant will be required to pay
for the new tap on the main and the new meter. Fees are outlined as below:
• Installation of a 1" water meter is $2,970
• With the installation of a larger meter, general facility charges (GFC) will also be
required in the amount of $7,574. (The GFC for the 1" meter is $12,624. A credit for
the existing 3/4" meter GFC is $5,050.)
• Therefore, the total for the 1" water meter installation will amount to $10,544.
2) Please revise plans to include the following:
• Please add a note that a 1" meter is to be installed.
• Show the water meter located in the right-of-way, such that the back of the meter is
on the property line.
• The water meter shall not be located in the driveway or in the sidewalk.
• Please label the pipe material and note tracer wire to be installed on the water service
line.
