Re:Approval of Construction Request
The request to bring the unitÈs deck into compliance has been reviewed. The City of Edmonds Code requires
a permit for deck work of this nature. This letter will be copied to the CityÈs Planning Development Office
approving the construction based on the requirements of this letter. The unitÈs deck is a limited common area
and is subject the Declaration, having full architectural, construction and maintenance rights over the deck. As
the current owner, you are responsible for all aspects of compliance with City, County, and State Codes,
ensuring all work affecting the Seavue building is completed properly and meetssuch Code,as well as meeting
the requirements of the AssociationÈs governing documents.
Several aspects of the unitÈs deck appear not to meet appropriate codes and Seavue requirements. Your
approval is granted, subject to the following requirements to brining the deck back to its original state:
Having the enclosed deck heated with installed heating, as it currently does, is a violation of Snohomish
County code, thus the heating unit and all electrical wiringto the heater must be removed;
Any electrical outlets on the deck walls must be removed unless the current wiring meets exterior wall
requirements; and the electrical outlets also meet exterior requirements;
That electrical outlets on the building structure (stucco walls) must meet exterior outlet requirements;
Walls of the deck may be wrapped in cedar strips as originally built, or as a recommended substitute
useHardeboard sheets with artificialwood grain;
¨
Exterior stucco and deck walls must be painted in ShermanWilliams Resilience Acrylic Exterior
Balanced Beige7037;If any of the current build out has removed or affectedthe stucco, you must
notify us before any action is taken;
The deck railing cap must be in good condition, ensure ita slight angledto the exterior ofthe building
to allow rain runoff; and is painted withShermanWilliams ÅSeaviewBrownÆÃ(this ismix to match our

The deck floor must be brought back to its original leveland surface, have a satisfactorydeckfloor for
exterior purposes,if the originalis not in place, and coatedwithSherman Williams Super Deck
Elastomeric Coating; Summerhouse Beige SW3004; the contractor must insure they follow the
recommend preparation and coating application of the manufacturer;
The contractor must be licensed and bonded through the Washington State Department of Labor and
have a current City of Edmonds business license, as required by the City;
Any rot needs to be identified and replaced, and all appropriate areas must bel be properly sealed; &
The completed work is subject to City and Board approval. Any electrical work requires a State
licensed contractor; and Seavue will provide the outdoor light that matches the other deck units.

cease immediately and no further work will take place until approval is reinstated.
