The second plot plan was submitted as part of a building permit application for the construction of a single family house in 1986. It indicates that Homeland Homes, the original builder, was aware of the setback criteria and proposed that the deck meet those criteria (the stairs proposed for the southern portion of the property were originally redlined). From that point, it is uncertain whether the deck was constructed to meet the setback criteria and then altered by a subsequent owner without a permit or if it was originally constructed improperly in the setback by Homeland Homes. Regardless, the Planning Division cannot sign off on the deck replacement because the structure is partially constructed within the 25’ street setback. According to Edmonds Community Development Code, a deck may not project into a required setback if it is more than 30 inches above ground level at any point (16.20.040.C). Since the entire deck, stairs and lower landing are proposed to be replaced, the entire structure must be reconstructed so that no portion of it encroaches into the street setback. Please make all submittals to a 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, please contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1330. Sincerely, Development Services Department - Planning Division Mike Clugston Planner Attachments
