RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2013-0657
ADDITION AT 17924 69TH AVENUE WEST
Dear Mr. Szekeres,
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 in a written
response and through the submittal of updated plans:
1. True and accurate site plan: Please submit a true and accurate site plan. The drawing
must be scaled (1" : 20' or similar) and must show all structures on the site, whether
temporary or permanent. See Attachment A in Handout B61 for reference:
http://www.edmondswa.gov/images/COE/Government/Departments/Development
Services/Building Division/Forms Handouts/B61-SFR REMODEL-ADD.pdf.
South side setback: The existing house is noted to be nonconforming with respect to
the 7.5' south side setback for the RS -8 zone. From what is shown on the site plan and
on the building plans, the rear portion of the first floor addition and the entire second
story addition is proposed to be built in line with the existing nonconforming south
wall. This would be expanding the existing nonconforming situation and is not
allowed per ECDC 17.40.020.B. All new construction must meet the required 7.5'
setback; please confirm and revise as necessary.
Height calculations: On the site plan, corner "D" needs to be moved to the east
several feet to make the height calculation box into a rectangle. If the elevation of "D"
changes, the height calculations will need to be revised.
4. Elevation: Show the lines of average original grade, proposed height, and maximum
allowed height on the elevation drawing.
5. Structural lot coverage: On the site plan, show a break out in square feet of lot
coverage for each of the structures on the site including the existing house and
addition and any other temporary or permanent structures on the site. Also include a
calculation of the total structural coverage as a percentage of the lot area.
6. Required parking stalls: On the site plan, please show the two off-street parking stalls
required for the site and indicate the dimensions (8.5' x 16.5' minimum).
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmondsnt.htmi.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 11 x 17 or
smaller) and two sets of any updated sheets of the building plans. Please make all
submittals to a Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (8 am to 12
pm only on Wednesdays). If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
