STF2024-0005 Zoning Letter`12C is CITY OF EDMONDS 121 5th Avenue North, Edmonds WA 98020 Phone: 425.771.0220 • Fax: 425.771.0221 • Web: www.edmondswa.gov PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • PLANNING DIVISION DATE: DATE: October 1, 2024 TO: Kristofer Foster FROM: Rose Haas, Planner rose.haas@edmondswa.gov RE: Zoning Verification Letter — STF2024-0005 Tax Parcel 00434600010706 On behalf of the Planning Division, I reviewed records pertaining to the subject property consistent with your request. Please let me know if additional information is needed. Tax Parcel 00434600010706 is not a legal lot of record and does not meet the current lot width criterion for the RS-8 zone in which it is located. The parcel cannot be developed as a separate lot and can only be developed in conjunction with the lot addressed at 1852179th Ave W (parcel number 00434600010706). The adjoining parcels 00434600010706 and 00471000002600 would be treated as one lot for the purposes of development in the RS-8 zone, as long as both properties remain in common ownership. Development could include attached or detached secondary structural additions to the existing single-family home per ECDC 16.20.050 and ECDC 16.20.060. Development must meet the RS- 8 development standards in ECDC 16.20.030. Development standards include setback criteria. The combined parcels would be treated as one lot and would require the following setbacks consistent with a "corner lot' designation per ECDC 21.15.100: 185th PI SW = 25-feet 79th PI W = 25-feet 186th St SW = 25-feet East side = 7.5-feet North side (south of lot addressed 7818 1851h PI SW) = 7.5-feet I have attached a letter from October 24, 2017, that provides additional context. This information was researched per request. The Planning Division assumes no liability for errors and omissions. All information was obtained from public records, which may be inspected during regular business hours.

W Edmonds, WA 98026 RE: TAX PARCEL NUMBER 00434600010706 Hi Mary, On October 18, 2017 we met with Rhoda Kiely from John L. Scott Real Estate at the permit counter to discuss the status of the vacant parcel shown below and your home parcel which is adjacent at 1852179th Ave. W. The upshot of the meeting was that the vacant parcel was not legally created by subdivision in the City of Edmonds and is therefore not a lot of record. Because it was not legally created it is an illegal lot and not recognized for development. Going forward, you can either hold on to the land or see if the adjacent neighbors might want to take ownership of some or all of it. If you hold it, your adjoining parcels will be treated as one lot for the purposes of development in the RS-8 zone. If your neighbors want some of the land, this could processed through a lot line adjustment. The vacant parcel could not become developable through the lot line adjustment process (nor could it be created through a new short plat since it would not meet the current lot width criterion for the RS-8 zone). The neighbors would just end up with somewhat larger lots. 11 How parcel 00434600010706 came to be is unknown. In June 1968, Harland Wilson applied for a three -lot short plat at the site outlined in red below. The parcel was split -zoned at the time with the eastern third of the site where the old building was located along 761h Ave. W being Neighborhood Business (BN) and the rest of the site being Single Family Residential, RS-8. The Hidden Glen plat to the north was also zoned RS-8. In any event, Mr. Wilson's June application (S-39-68) was denied by the Planning Commission as not being in the public interest. In September 1968, Mr. Wilson applied again for a three -lot short plat (S-62-68). After a great deal of discussion, the Planning Commission decided to approve a two -lot subdivision. The BN- zoned area at 18596 76th Ave. W would be one lot and the remainder of the lot up the hill to the west would be a separate, RS-8 zoned, lot. However, it appears that the Planning Commission's 2-lot decision wasn't adequately understood or transmitted to the County so the lots were not drawn to the Commission's 2-lot approval but rather to the 3-lot map that was part of the S-62-68 proposal — see below. Whether this was done by Mr. Wilson intentionally or not in unknown but in the end, the County ended up creating a parcel (00434600010706) that had not been granted approval by the City of Edmonds. A building permit for one house on the RS-8 zoned portion of the site (7805 186th St. SW) was granted in 1989 through permit BLD19890350.
