RE: Review Comments for Remodel at 130 Fifth Ave S.
To Whom it May Concern,
This letters is in response to the initial review comments dated between April 30 to May
9, 2012. My responses are below.
Planning Division
Contact: Mike Clugston, Associate Planner 425.771.0220
Original Comment Letter Dated: April 30, 2012
Colored Elevations
1.: I saw in the permit the color renderings of the proposed
exterior improvements are forthcoming thanks.
It has been determined between phone messages left back and forth with Mike
that colored elevations will not be necessary since there are no proposals made to
change the appearance of the building color of massing. The building will remain
the color that it is and all new windows will match existing. Please see the
attached photo documentation sheet showing the existing conditions.
Existing Dayton Street Bench
2.: Is the existing bus stop bench part of the project?
Please Co-of-way relative to the
proposed improvement.
The bench is existing, not part of our project and will remain as is.
BD-1 Design Standards
3.-1 zone, the
design standards for that zone apply. Specifically, ECDC 22.43.050 requires
transparency at street level. Please verify whether the windows selected for the
project meet the standards in ECDC 22.43.050.B.2 and B.4.
The current glazing within the transparency is at 19 %. With the addition of the
new windows and the replacement of the existing windows with lower sills the
area of glazing within the transparency zone will be 35%.

1.Please provide structural details (and calculations if necessary) for the four new
window openings in the south wall. This should include gravity and lateral
designs.
The framing for the proposed new windows is concealed and exists; the openings
were filled in during a previous remodel. We are proposing to remove the infill
and replace with new windows. If upon demolition the concealed openings do not
exist as we expect them to, we will submit a structural design and supplemental
information to this permit application.
2.
The note has been revised. See Note 2 on sheet A1.1 for further clarification.
3.Please note on the plans the pedestrian protection will be provided per IBC
section 3306 for work performed adjacent to pedestrian walkways. If the
sidewalk is to be shut down during construction please coordinate with the City of
Edmonds Engineering Division.
See new general note #4 on sheet A0.1. The sidewalk will not be shut down
during the course of construction; the majority of the work will be performed
from inside of the space.

1.Plans indicate replacement of several windows along the Dayton Street side of the
building. Please confirm how these windows will be installed and whether
closure of the sidewalk will be required to perform this work. If sidewalk closure
is necessary then a separate right-of-way construction permit with traffic control
plan for closure will be required.
Most of the work will be performed from within the building. The sidewalk will
not be blocked, at most there will be a ladder and (1) person in the sidewalk zone
for safety purposes.
2.The dumpster/staging area is shown within the parking lot on private property on
the west side of the alley. Will debris be brought from the building to the
dumpster by hand and therefore eliminating potential disruption to the
alley/access?
The contractor will not disrupt traffic/access to the alley during construction.
