PROJECT DESCRIPTION Aspen and Enslow are exchanging 386.71 square feet of land
between their adjacent parcels.
A. INTRODUCTION
Aspen and Enslow are exchanging 386.71 square feet of land between their adjacent parcels.
Aspen needs the specific square footage from Enslow in order to obtain a building permit for
an atrium that was built on the back of his house, bringing the atrium into compliance with the
setback requirements of the RS-8 zone.
B. ANALYSIS OF DESIGN:
1. Number of Lots Involved: Prior to Lot Line Adjustment - 2; Post Adjustment - 2
2. Lot Area:
a. Minimum lot area required for RS-8 zone: 8,000 square feet
b. Minimum lot width required for RS-8 zone: 70 feet
c. Area of each lot (approximate):
Existing sf Proposed sf
Parcel A (Enslow): 8,010 8,010
Parcel B (Aspen): 8,053 8,053
d. Lot width of each lot: Parcel A 80 feet +/- ; Parcel B 95 feet +/-
3. Topographical Consideration: The subject properties slope gently from the south to
the north. However, there is no particular topographical consideration influencing the
lot line adjustment.
4. Flag Lot Determination: The subject parcels are not considered flag lots.
5. Corner Lot Determination: The subject parcels are not considered corner lots.
6. Comprehensive Plan: The proposal appears to meet the intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
7. Zoning Ordinance: The proposal appears to meet the intent of the Zoning Ordinance
(Edmonds Community Development Code 20.75.050).

property being adjusted to Aspen. If present and unused, such components must be
remediated or removed prior to final approval. If the systems are currently used,

must be obtained from the City, if applicable.
2.Include the lot line adjustment file number LL-2007-0068 on the documents to be
recorded.
3.Make sure all documents to be recorded meet the Snohomish County Auditors

recorded.

approved documents with Snohomish County Auditors office.

RECONSIDERATION OF DECISION
A request for reconsideration or clarification of this decision may be made by filing a letter and fee
with the Planning Department within ten (10) working days of the date of decision.
THE RIGHT TO APPEAL
This decision may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner. In this case, a written letter and other
items needed to appeal must be submitted to the Planning Division within fourteen (14) calendar
days of the date of decision. Please contact the Planning Division for information. Note that per
ECDC 20.105.010.A.2, appeals of lot line adjustments are limited to appeals by the applicant only
of a denial of a requested lot line adjustment application.
TIME LIMITS FOR RECONSIDERATION AND APPEALS
The time limits for reconsiderations and appeals run concurrently. If a request for reconsideration
is filed before the time limit for filing an appeal has expired, the time clock for filing an appeal
is stopped until a decision on the reconsideration request is completed. Once the staff has issued
his/her decision on the reconsideration request, the time clock for filing an appeal continues from
the point it was stopped. For example, if a request is filed on day 5 of the appeal period, an
individual would have 9 more days in which to file an appeal after the staff issues their decision on
the reconsideration request.
