RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0603
TH
KLUG ADDITION AT 724 – 9 AVENUE NORTH
Dear Mr. Chermak:
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:
Legal Description:
1.The Snohomish County Assessor’s website provides the following legal
description for the subject site: PUGET SOUND MCHY DEPOT 5 AC TRS BLK 000 D-01
- BEG SW COR LOT 6 TH N ALG W LN 68FT TH E 19FT TO TPB TH E 233FT TH S
68FT TH W 231FT TAP 21FT E OF SD SW COR TH NWLY TO TPB. The dimensions
provided on your site plan are slightly different than those provided in the above legal
description. Please explain this discrepancy and make any necessary corrections to your site
plan. Note that if the dimensions of the site are updated, the lot area and lot coverage
calculations will also need to be updated.
Existing Setbacks:
2.The attached site plan was submitted for a building permit application
for an addition in 1992. The existing setback distances indicated on the 1992 site plan differ
from those on your site plan. Please review the attached 1992 site plan, and accurately
determine the current location of the house in respect to the property lines. Of particular
concern, the 1992 site plan indicates an existing 6-foot setback to the southern property line.
If it is found that the existing setback to the southern property line is any less than the
minimum required 10-foot side setback, please review ECDC 17.40.020 for the City’s
nonconforming structure requirements. The proposed addition will need to be cut back to
comply with the minimum 10-foot setback requirement from the southern property line even
if the garage is currently located within this setback area.
Proposed Balcony:
3.Please show and label the proposed balcony on your site plan.
Existing Deck:
4.The building elevations show a deck on the western side of the residence;
however, this deck is not shown on the site plan nor the existing floor plan. Please add the
existing deck to your plans and label it as such.
Height Calculations:
5.Please make the following corrections to your height calculations:
a.Points A through D are labeled on the site plan map as 116’, 110’, 110’, and 117’
respectively. However, under the height calculations heading on your site plan,
these elevations are indicated as 116.93’, 110.14’, 110.06’, and 117.84’
respectively. Please correct the discrepancy between the elevations used for the
points of your height rectangle and make any updates to your height calculations if
necessary.
b.Indicate the average grade on your building elevations and make sure that the
maximum height and proposed height are exactly the same as the figures indicated
on your site plan.
c.A fireplace was noted in the proposed addition. If a chimney is proposed, please
show it on the elevations. Additionally, the chimney must meet the height
requirements of ECDC 21.40.030.C.4 (i.e. the chimney must not exceed nine
square feet in horizontal section nor more than three feet in height for that portion
above the height limit).
Lot Coverage:
6. Lot coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings or
structures on a site measured from the outside of external walls or supporting members or
from a point 30 inches in from the outside edge of the eaves, whichever covers the greatest
area. Lot coverage calculations must include uncovered upper floor decks. It is unclear if
the existing deck and proposed balcony were included in your lot coverage calculations.
Please provide a breakdown of your lot coverage calculations to show compliance with the
lot coverage calculation requirements.
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
