Case: # ZE-08-054 (COD20080012)
Subject Property: 18621 840h Ave. W., Edmonds, WA. 98026
Dear Mr. Karczewski,
The City has received a complaint regarding a shed constructed in the side setback on the south side of your property.
A building permit is also required for accessory structures over 120 square feet. The City shows no records for a
building permit for an accessory structure at this address.
The subject property is in the RS-10 Zone which requires a 10 foot side yard setback (a corner lot has two street
setbacks and two side setbacks with no rear setback). Eaves may project into the required setback not more than 30
inches.
In order to be in compliance, the accessory building will need to obtain a building permit and be out of any required
setbacks. The permit application would need to substantiate that the building is either moved or reduced in size to
accommodate the setback.
Corrective actions required:
• Please contact me at your earliest convenience by February 28, 2008 to confirm receipt of this information
and to review the corrective actions. If you have any records showing the structure was permitted, please
forward this information.
• Please submit a complete application and fees for a building permit by March 20, 2008. A handout is
enclosed regarding accessory buildings. Or;
• If you prefer to reduce the size of the accessory structure to 120 square feet or less and meet setbacks, a
building permit is not required. A compliance inspection would be required.
• Another option is to apply for a variance. However, variances are difficult to attain and submitting an
application does not guarantee a variance would be granted.
Please call me at 425-771-0220 U716 if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and
assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
