RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2006-1320
QUEEN REMODEL AT 7515 BRAEMAR DRIVE
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Queen:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found
that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before
review can continue:
1. Site Plan: Please submit a reduced copy (8.5" by 1 I" or 8.5" by 14") of the site plan.
2. Covenant: The City considers a wetbar to be a second kitchen. Since the house is
proposed to have a wetbar in the basement, a covenant must be recorded at the County
stating that you are aware that an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit must be
approved separately from this building permit application if you intend for the basement to
act as a separate dwelling unit apart from the main residence. Even if you do not intend for
the basement to act as an ADU, the purpose of getting this statement recorded is to protect
any future owners from thinking that the house contains an approved ADU. I am enclosing
the City's ADU handout as well as the covenant that must be recorded at the County.
Please have the property owner(s) review and sign these materials. Note that signatures
must be notarized and signed in black ink. Also note that due to the County's restrictions
on margins, the covenant must be printed on legal sized paper. You may either get the
covenant recorded at the County on your own for $32, or you may turn it in to the City to
record it at the County for you for $47 (the County's $32 recording fee plus a $15 City
surcharge fee).
Please redline plans or submit three sets of revised plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a
written response to each of the above items. Please make all submittals to the Development
Services Permit Coordinator Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If
you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Machuga@ci.edmonds.wa.us. I look forward
to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
