Subject: Lot Line Adjustment: Application Number PLN20080052
Mr. Reimer:
Upon initial review of your application for a lot line adjustment (LLA) for you property at 18607
Olympic View Drive, it was determined that the parcels which you are proposing a LLA are
actually a single parcel pursuant to ECDC 17.40.030 Nonconforming Lots.
Parcel B is nonconforming in regards to width. Your property is within the RS -12 zone which
has a minimum lot width of 80 feet; Parcel B is only 60 feet wide. ECDC 17.40.030.0 states:
Combination. If, since the date on which it [the lot] became nonconforming due to its
failure to meet minimum lot size or width criteria, an undeveloped nonconforming lot has
been in the same ownership as a contiguous lot or lots, the nonconforming lot is and shall
be deemed to have been combined with such contiguous lot or lots to the extent necessary
to create a conforming lot and thereafter may only be used in accordance with the
provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code, except as specifically
provided in subsection D of this section.
Since both parcels are contiguous and have been under a single ownership for some time, Parcel
A and Parcel B are deemed to have been combined pursuant to ECDC 17.40.030.0 and thus are a
single parcel. A Lot Line Adjustment is not appropriate as there is only a single parcel.
If you wish to create two parcels as depicted on Sheet 2 of your survey materials, you may apply
for a short plat subdivision.
Given that City would be unable to approve your request for a lot line adjustment, you may
choose to withdraw your application and receive a refund of your application fees. If you wish
to withdraw your application, please submit a request in writing. Note that the processing of
your application will be on hold until a response is received from you.
Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions, 425-771-0220 x1223.
