Thank you for submitting your plans to the City of Edmonds for review. We have completed an
initial review of the project mentioned above. For this project to move forward a few items will
need to be addressed.
Once a revised set of plans, including a written response to the list of the items contained in this
letter are resubmitted, we can complete the review. Some items may require a review by other
divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire and will be noted as such.
Resubmittals can be made at the Development Services Department on the 2nd Floor of City
Hall. Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on
Wednesdays.
To complete the review the following items will need to be addressed:

15”, which appears to be undersized. Please recalculate and revise as needed.

point load and recalculate.
4. 19’ G.L.B. at garage door not in calculations please revise and add to calc package.
