Subject: Request of Additional Information
Lot Line Adjustment Application PLN2014-001 0
Mr. Vehrs,
Thanl,,, your for submitting additional information in response to the City' April 17, 2014 Letter
of Completeness and Request for additional information. Further clarification is necessary for
the City to continue review of the lot line adjustment. This letter retains the same number format
as the April 17"' letter of completeness and new comments are included in red. Please respond to
the following so we can continue our review:
Easements: t(A Addi.-es,,.,,cd. Please change the reference to the utility easement currently
located on the eastern 10 feet of Parcel B (proposed to be on the western 10 feet of Parcel
A) to the Auditor File Number (AFN 9010160446) the easement is recorded under as
opposed to referencing the easement per Short Plat No. 5-1 1-90.
2. Legal Description: There appear to be a few discrepancies in the legal descriptions for the
new parcels.
a. Parcel A:
i. Not Addr(sscd. The north line of Parcels A and B in the legal description
is describe as North 89'38'69 East; 299.69 feet to the westerly margin of
6"' Ave N; however, the two distances as measured on the survey depicted
on Sheet 2 show the distance of the north line adding up to 299.71 feet.
Please either correct the legal description or the distances on the survey,
whichever is incorrect.
1"",Io� The western boundary of Parcel B (which is included in
the description of Parcel A) should be 123.05 feet instead of 113.05 feet.
The larger rectangle that includes both Parcel A and B is described, and
then the 10 feet of Forsyth deeded to the City of Edmonds is excepted. As
the larger rectangle is described the eastern boundary is 123.05 feet and
the western boundary is 113.05 feet, which would not take that western
line back to the point of beginning.
b. Parcel B: 'Nlol A dd i vu3cd. In addition to the two items above that apply to both
Parcels A and B, the 10 feet deeded to the City on Parcel B was recorded under
file auditor file number 2090101, not 2091288 as noted in the legal description.
The new legal for Parcel A should reference both deeds.

areas and a esc rilu6oa is acc,'or hiJ.": �y,,, Given previous conversations with you on this
property, I am aware that a future subdivision is being planned for 1040 — 6"' Avenue
South and that there is also a new residence applied for on 1040 — 6t1' Avenue South.
Upon reviewing this lot line adjustment application, it was discovered that the right-of-
way on 6t" Avenue South in front of 1040 — 6t" is only 55 feet wide according to the
survey submitted with this application. This has implications for these other two
projects.
a. Future subdivision: The City of Edmonds official street map shows a 60 foot
right-of-way along 6"' Avenue South. If the right-of-way is only 55 feet wide as
shown on the survey, at the time of subdivision a street dedication would be
required for the eastern 5 feet of Parcel A. This street dedication would drop the
overall area for Parcel A after the proposed lot line adjustment down to 17,522.75
square feet. This would only leave enough area for a two -lot subdivision. The
purpose of this lot line adjustment was to transfer enough property to Parcel A for
a three -lot subdivision.
There are two of options to address this situation. One would be to amend the lot
line adjustment to transfer an additional 5 feet from Parcel B to Parcel A. This
would compensate for the future dedication providing enough area for a three lot
subdivision. A second option would be to pursue an official street map
amendment to only require a 55-foot right-of-way along 61h Avenue South
adjacent to the subject property.
b. Proposed residence under BLD20140313: The proposed residence under
BLD2014-0313 must take street setbacks from the edge of the right-of-way as
shown on the official street map pursuant to 1 50.020,A. As such, the
proposed residence on 1040 - 6t"Ave will have to be shifted to the west
approximately 5 feet in order to comply with the setback requirements for the
RS-6 zone. This will be noted during review of building permit BLD2014.0313 as
well.
According to ECDC 20.02.003.1), the above requested information must be submitted within 90
days (or by September 3, 2014.) or the application will expire.
