RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0409
TH
DECK AT 1209 (OR 120) 9 AVENUE NORTH
Dear Mr. Michel:
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:
Critical Areas Checklist
1.: There is no Critical Areas Checklist on file for the
above address. Please submit a checklist at your earliest convenience. Checklists
(Form P20) are available at:
http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/bldg_permits_forms.stm.
Setbacks:
2.Please locate where the four 4x4 treated posts are to be replaced on a
scaled site plan and how their replacement meets current code with regard to
setbacks (see below).
The subject parcel is a corner lot. As a result, it has two 20 street property line
th
setbacks (Bell Street and 9 Avenue) and two 7.5 side setbacks from the south
and east property lines. From the drawings provided, it appears that portions of
the existing deck (and house, in fact) currently encroach into the 20 street setback
from Bell Street on the north and into the 7.5 side setback from the alley on the
south. This means that those portions of deck (and house) are nonconforming
with respect to current code. Such structures are regulated in Chapter 17.40 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code. According to 17.40.020,
nonconforming structures may be continued and limited maintenance and repair
can occur on them as well. However, nonconforming structures may not be
expanded nor entirely replaced except if it meets current zoning requirements.
You may redline your existing plans or submit three copies of your updated site plan (one
reduced size) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans.Please make all
submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00
am to 4:30 pm, except on Wednesdays when we are closed for permit review. If you
have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
