BLD20100188 Plan Review Comments #2.pdf CE ITY OF DMONDS PLANREVIEWCOMMENTS PLANNINGDIVISION 425.771.0220 DATE: May 26, 2010 TO: Ron McNurlen mcnurlen@comcast.net FROM: Kernen Lien, Associate Planner RE: Plan Check BLD20100188 New Single Family Residence at 18726 Sound View Place On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the April 29, 2010 resubmittal of above building permit application. During review of the subject resubmittal, it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed. Please respond to the following items, so that I can complete my review: New comments in red. Height 1.:Addressed. Parcel Combination :Addressed. Setbacks 2.: The subject property is zoned RS-12 (Single-family residential). Setbacks for RS-12 zoned property is outlined in ECDC 16.20.030 and are as follows:: Zone Minimum Street Minimum Side Setback Minimum Rear SetbackSetback RS-12 25 feet 10 feet 25 feet Pursuant to ECDC 16.20.040.C, uncovered and unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required setback not more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less; provided, that they are no more than 30 inches above ground level at any point. With the 10 foot side setback, the patios shown on the north and south of the proposed residence cannot extend more than 3.33 feet into the required setback. The patio on the south side of the house extends about 8 feet into the setback, while the patio on the north side of the house extends approximately 6 feet into the setback. Please revise the plans so that the patios extend no more than 3.33 feet into the required setback. While the plot plan on the set of plans that contain the architectural drawings has been revised so that the patios comply with the required setbacks, the site development plot plan still shows the patios extending more than 3.33 feet into the setbacks. Please revise plans so both set of plans are consistent. Accessory Dwelling Unit 3.: During review of your floor plans, it was noted that the lower floor contains a wet bar off the recreation room. The City considers this to be a second kitchen. Since the house is proposed to contain a second kitchen, a covenant must be recorded at the County stating that you are aware that an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit must be approved separately from this building permit application if you intend for the upper floor to act as a separate dwelling unit apart from the main residence. Even if you do not intend for the upper floor to act as an ADU, the purpose of getting this statement recorded is to protect any future owners from thinking that the house contains an approved ADU. I am enclosing the City’s ADU handout as well as the covenant that must be recorded at the County. Please have the property owner(s) review and sign Also note that due to the these materials. Note that signatures must be notarized and signed in black ink. County’s restrictions on margins, the covenant must be printed on legal sized paper and cannot have writing located within the margins. You may either get the covenant recorded at the County on your own for $62, or you may turn it in to the City to record it at the County for you for $82 (the County’s $62 recording fee plus a $20 City surcharge fee). If you are interested in applying for an ADU permit, you are welcome to contact me on application procedures. Thank you for signing and submitting the ADU covenant, however, the document cannot be recorded due to Snohomish County restrictions on margins. Please note that the ADU covenant must be printed on legal sized paper and cannot have writing located within the margins. A new covenant is being provided. Additionally, if you wish the City of Edmonds to record the covenant, a fee of $82 is required(the County’s $62 recording fee plus a $20 City surcharge fee). Alternatively, you may record the covenant on you own at Snohomish County for $62. Please sign the new covenant and have it recorded or submit to the City of Edmonds with the recording fee of $82.
