RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-1144
REYNOLDS FENCE AT 18306 ANDOVER STREET
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
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:
Height:
1.You stated in your application that the fence is proposed to be over six feet in
height in a few locations. However, per Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
17.30.000.A, “Unless a variance is first obtained, no fence shall be more than six feet in
height as measured from the top of the fence to the lowest original grade.” Therefore,
please amend your submittal to show that the proposed fence will not exceed six feet in
height over the lowest original grade in any location.
Trellis:
2. It is unclear what the proposed total length of trellis(es) along the northern
property line is. Per ECDC 17.30.035.C, “A trellis up to two additional feet in height to a
maximum of eight feet may be added as a decorative element to a fence so long as the
combined length of the trellis(es) constructed facing a property line do not exceed 25
percent of the total length of that property line.” In order to confirm compliance with this
code requirement, please indicate the length of any existing trellis(es) along the northern
property line on your site plan as well as the length of the proposed trellis(es) along the
northern property line. Additionally, please show the entire property on your site plan and
indicate the length of the northern property line so that the combined length of the
trellis(es) along the northern property line can be calculated as a percentage of the length of
that property line to ensure that the combined length of the trellis(es) will not exceed 25
percent.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through
Friday, excluding Wednesdays between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224. I look forward to working with you on this
project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
