Before I can sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified: 1. From reviewing the floor plans, the main Accessory Dwelling Unit Statement: kitchen is to be located on the second floor of the structure. However, the first floor plan also indicates a ‘wet bar’ containing a sink and cabinetry which could fairly easily be converted to a kitchen. As a result, since the first floor could potentially be used as separate living facilities from the second floor, a statement must be recorded at the County indicating that the current homeowner is aware that an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit would be needed to allow that use. Even if the lower floor is not intended to serve as an ADU today, recording the statement informs future owners of the property about the need to obtain an ADU permit if that use is ever desired for the space. Attached is the City’s ADU handout as well as the statement that must be recorded at the County. Please have the property owner review and sign the statement. Note that signatures must be notarized and signed in black ink. Also note that due to the County’s restrictions on margins, the statement must be printed on legal sized paper with a 3” top margin and 1” side and bottom margins. You may either record the statement at the County on your own for $40 (and provide a County-stamped and accepted copy to the City), or you may submit it to the City to record for you for $55 (the County’s $40 recording fee plus a $15 City surcharge). Please make any submittals to Theresa Umbaugh, your Development Services Permit Coordinator, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm daily, except Wednesdays when the office is closed. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1330. Sincerely, Mike Clugston, Planner Development Services Department
