RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0082
ADDITION AT 20625 82ND AVENUE WEST
Dear Mr. Lacher:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified:
1. Side Setback: The site plan provided indicates that your existing house is located
within approximately 5.5’ of your northern property line. You show the proposed
addition to match the existing house. Unfortunately, the current required side setback
in the RS-8 zone is 7.5 feet. I realize that the existing structure was built prior to
annexation to the City of Edmonds and may have complied with the existing
Snohomish County code at the time of construction but any new construction must
meet current Edmonds code. As a result, the northern wall of the proposed master
bedroom addition will need to be moved approximately 2’ to the south so the addition
complies with the current RS-8 side setback requirement.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one of which must be 8.5” by 14” inches or
smaller) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans. Please make all submittals to
Gretchen Buck, 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.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
