RE: Plan # 2013-0577
Jeffrey Marr 8024 238th St SW, Edmonds, WA
Purpose: The purpose of the remodel is to add a family room/office space to
the second level and to extend the garage into a workshop, with access to my
carport for business reasons.
Dear Sir:
This is a follow up on your letter, June 19, 2013, and your discussion with my
planner, William Gottlieb, Plan One, Seattle, We went over the following and here is
our response.
1. Setbacks
You have the front of my house oriented from the North. Strange because all
four homes that were built together, have the front entrances on the access
road on the West side of the properties. But for clarity's sake we will use your
definition.
I have lived here since August 23, 1977, 36 years. The four homes were built
by Hagen Construction and was surrounded by apple orchards up to Hwy 99.
Attached, Item #1, is a City of Edmonds Sewer Permit which shows how the
homes were oriented away from busy 238th St SW. Note that my home is
pushed back from 238th SW by 29 feet, four feet more than required by
todays regulations, thus closer to the property line to the South to 9'-6". My
neighbor's home, 8026, was in turn, pushed to the South to 18'-6" for a total
separation of 28'. The 8028th and 8029th are similarly pushed South.
My main consideration for in discussions with the builder and purchasing the
home was the fact that it was pushed away from 238th St SW and that I would
have trees, fencing and additional landscaping to buffer the noise and traffic.
I also wanted to maintain access to an existing right of way to the rear (East)
of my home for utility vehicles. There was an existing dirt road for the apple
orchard at the East side of the property.
1
The separation between 8024 and 8026 is 28 feet based on 1977 setback
requirements, two feet short of today's standards., but close considering how
long ago this was built.
Our plans would not affect the character of the neighborhood or disturb my
neighbors in any way for these reasons:
Character of the Neighborhood: Our plans would not affect the character of
the neighborhood. I have one of the best maintained properties East of Hwy
99 in Edmonds. The character of the neighborhood could be described at
best, mixed use. From commercial across the street, 7-11, Pancake House
Restaurant, Condos West toward Hwy 99, Condo's North 2381 St SW,
commercial Piano Moving Company across the street North on 238th St SW.
Esthetics and Visual Considerations:
The 12' extension on the South wall for the workshop will low profile, be
hardly noticed by our neighbors, and would blend in with the existing wall.
There would simply be a railing on the deck on roof of the workshop. It
would not have a 'blocking effect' for my neighbors and upon review, they
agree. As for the neighbors to the East of me, they have no views facing my
property. My existing deck on the second floor looks over their rooftop
because or the steep grade. My plans will have zero effect on the esthetics of
their property and upon review, they agree.
2. Lot Coverage
We will add the `storage building' area to the structural lot coverage
calculation in our final proposal after addressing the `setback' issue.
This is the most important issue for this project and we are also addressing some re-
calculations with Ms Lambert and Mr. Bjorback and are confident that we can satisfy
all the issues regarding our project.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. Gottlieb.
