Re: Authorization of Structural, Electrical, and Plumbing Work: Kitchen, Living & Dining Room Area.
This authorization is subject to inspection after the affected sheetrock/boards are removed from
the exterior wall as a prudent act to ensure the building structure is in good order.
o Requirement: City of Edmonds Planning Department Permit
o Requirement: WA State Department of Labor Electrical Permit
Seavue Association of Apartment Owners "Seavue," a Washington State non-profit Homeowners
Association, authorizes conditional approval for the owner(s) of unit 300 to submit a permit application to
the City of Edmonds and the State of Washington. The HOA owns the condominium's common and/or
limited common areas, and its property is located at 1130 5th Avenue S. Edmonds, Washington 98020.
The unit owner(s) unit must understand the common and limited common areas, and any safety issues at
Seavue come under the director's control of the Board for the HOA. All work performed is subject to the
HOA's permission, control, and requirements through the Board, its President, or designated
representative, as provided under RCW 64.32, and applicable aspects of RCW 64.34, and 64.90.
Seavue HOA offers the owner(s) of the said unit to perform construction, plumbing, and/or electrical work
under the terms of this letter within the confines of the requirements of the Seavue Declaration, its bylaws,
policies, and administrative rules and requirements, ordinances, regulations, and laws of the City of
Edmonds, County of Snohomish, and State of Washington. Because of these codes, Seavue is considered
a multi -family / commercial building and may differ from a single-family residence. Owner(s) are reminded
that radiant ceiling heat is the main source of the unit and the responsibility of the owner, cautioned advised.
The owner is permitted to do the following scope of work: The construction must be
performed by licensed contractors, engineers, plumbers, and electricians within their
permissible license(s) as regulated and must be insured for commercial, multi -story (5)
floors.
Structural changes to the West wall between the kitchen and living area as indicated in the
structural plans prepared by the engineering firm.
2. Removal of the column facade between the dining and living room areas. Ensure the fagade itself
does not have any structural bearing roof weight itself. If it appears to do so, the structural engineer
must review and make any required changes.
3. An overlay of hardwood flooring, limited to the kitchen area, including soundproofing material
buffering beneath the hardwood, is also required.

Letter of Permission
Any changes to the scope of work after approval from Seavue and any city, county, or state agency require
immediate notification from the parties. All costs, including any permits, architectural and envelope
requirements, construction performance, damage to the building structure, and dump requirements, shall
be the sole responsibility of the owner. If Seavue provides any other costs for some reason at a later time,
a separate letter will be issued.
A copy of any issued permits shall be posted in the unit during work, and a copy shall be submitted to
Seavue's manager or president before construction.
The owner is responsible for ensuring Seavue is notified of any inspections by any city, county, or state
official before they occur so that a Seavue representative may be present as a condition of approval. The
owner must receive an unconditional lien waiver for any work performed at the time of or before any final
payment is made. This should include not only any general contractor but also any subcontractors. Any
company or person acting as a "Consultant" under the provisions of WAC 296-20OA-015 shall comply with
the State law as a registered general contractor with WA L&I.
The owner is advised to refer to Seavue's Administrative Rules, as several sections of the document refer
to rules and requirements, including times when construction work is permitted. The owner must ensure
contractors or professionals know these conditions, requirements, and rules. Work will only be performed
during hours and days as codified in the Seavue Administration Guide and City Code.
Further, this authorization is subject to working with Seavue, who has direct control and responsibility over
any common areas, limited common areas, and all safety issues. Such coordination shall be done through
the property manager or president. This authorization is subject to inspection, suspension, or withdrawal at
will and at any time. If any of the conditions are not met at any time, all construction shall cease immediately
until Seavue reinstates permission. The owner may be liable for any costs incurred by Seavue to enforce
any action taken or work that is required.
The Seavue Board looks to work with any homeowner in their improvements but insists on compliance with
laws, codes, or government requirements.
Please contact me if you or the City Planning Department have any questions.
