Case: # COD2013-0207
Subject property: 9515 232nd St. S.W., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. Marker,
DAVE EARLING
MAYOR
The City has received a complaint regarding a second dwelling unit in the front storage unit at the subject
property without obtaining the required permits. As you're already aware, the front building on this lot was
required to be converted to a storage unit when the rear dwelling unit was created. According to Edmonds
Development Services records, no change of use permits have been obtained to re -convert the storage area
back to a dwelling unit.
Corrective actions required:
• Please contact me at your earliest convenience by September 23, 2013 at 425-771-0220 x1716 to
respond to the complaint. An Order to Correct is issued if no contact is made.
• If you want to attempt to create an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at the subject property, it would
be necessary to make a complete application for that development by September 30, 2013.
Please note that an ADU has specific requirements regarding size, location and appearance that
this structure would need to meet in order to be approved. It is also necessary for the property
owner to live in one of the units at the property. As before, it would be doubtful that you would be
able to re -introduce a second dwelling unit on this property due to the constraints of the
requirements.
• If you don't want to or are unable to obtain an ADU approval, it would be necessary to confirm
that the storage unit has not been converted to another use and is maintained as storage. This
would require that the stove is removed and the power to the stove must be disconnected to the
electrical box per City of Edmonds permit 99055. Please arrange for a compliance inspection by
September 30, 2013.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
Code Enforcement Inspector
