PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR O.
NEW PORCH AT 8620 TALBOT ROAD
To whom it may concern:
I have reviewed the proposed revision to 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 submission of updated plans:
1. Scale: Please update the site plan using a scale of 1"=20'. Call out the distances from
the east and south property lines to the proposed porch.
2. Height calculations: Provide height calculations for the proposed porch — see
Handout B41 for reference: http://www.edmondswa.gov/services/permits-
development/handouts-forms/handouts-by-number.html.
3. Elevation: Using the height calculations, provide an elevation drawing showing the
proposed porch on the east fagade with the lines of average original grade, maximum
allowed height, and proposed height of the porch.
4. Structural lot coverage: Please provide a break out of the structural lot coverage
elements for the site and a total coverage calculation as a percentage of lot area.
According to ECDC 21.15.100, "Coverage means the total ground coverage of all
building or structures on a site measured from the outside of external walls or
supporting members or from a point two and one-half feet in from the outside edge of
a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area." The maximum percentage of
structural lot coverage is 35%. In this case, it looks like the house, garage and
proposed porch would be included.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.codepublishing.com/wa/edmonds/.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 8 x 14 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. If you
have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
