The City has received a “reasonable accommodation”request byJacqueline Barnesfor herproperty at 9520
st
PlaceSW, Edmonds(FileSTF-2012-0016).
231
Ms.Barnes will be applying for a building permit for an accessible carport that was constructed in order to
provide safe and covered accessfrom her driveway to herfront door. However, this new carport addition is
proposed within the required setback area.
Chapter 17.05 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) was enacted to authorize staff,
when necessary, to reasonably accommodate the statutory rights of the disabled under the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act or the Washington Law Against Discrimination. Staff has
determined that the applicant (owner) is disabled as documentedin a letter from herdoctor, and qualifies
under the above code citation for this request.In addition, the applicant is required to file a covenant with
the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office that contains specific conditions. For example, the
accommodation is personal to the owner and does not run with the land, so if/when the property is sold, the
carportwill need to be removed to meet code through the process of a demolition permit.
Although not required by city code, notice is being provided to owners within 300 feet of the site.Pursuant
to ECDC 17.05.050, a reasonable accommodation is not an administratively appealable decision.
Interested persons –that is,persons located within 300 feet of the building site –may appeal the reasonable
accommodation by filing a petition for review with Snohomish County Superior Court within 10 days of
the date of mailing of the written notice of decision.
The file isavailable forreview in the Planning Division, located on the second floor of City Hall. Please
don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
