Dear Mr. Safadago:
I have reviewed your resubmittal for the abovebuilding permit application for the Planning Division, and it was
found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before review can
continue. For clarity, the comments from my January 13, 2017 letter are included with current comments from
bold italicsPlease provide a written response as to how each of these comments are
June 13, 2017 provided in .
being addressed with your next resubmittal.
Design Review:
1.Design review was conducted in 2015for the subject proposal under File No.
PLN20150036. The Architectural Design Board (ADB) conducted a two-phase public hearing on the
proposal based on the project plans that were submitted with the design review application. The ADB
approved the proposed design, with conditions, on November 4, 2015. It was noted during review of the
subject building permit application, however, that several changes were made to the proposed building
design including changes to window sizes and locations, cladding, landscaping, etc. Cumulatively, these
changes cause the need for the ADB to re-review the project. The base fee for ADB re-review of this
project (Type III-B decision) would be $1,820 plus a $35 technology fee. You may contact me for
information on submittal requirements for ADB re-review. Alternatively, you could revise the building
permit application to be consistent with what was reviewed and approved by the ADB.
6/13/17 Comment: This comment was not addressed. A new design review application has not been
submitted nor have the project plans been changed to be consistent with what was reviewed and
approved by the ADB.

6/13/17 Comment: This comment was partially addressed. Buildingmaterials and colors were indicated

Permit for Existing Building:
4.Since the project includes work on the existing buildinglocated on the

existing building. This permit application must include all proposed modifications to the existing
building, including the demolition of the existing 1-story portion of the building as well as the exterior
improvements indicated in the associated design review application (PLN20150036) and as required by
the ADB’s conditions of approval.As part of your submittal for the building permit application for the

existingbuilding has not yet been submitted.
Site Plan:Addressed.
5.
Height Calculations:Addressed.
6.
Landscape Plan:
7.Please make the following corrections to your landscape plan:
a.As stated in the ADB’s decision on the associated design review application:“Three street trees shall
be provided along Edmonds Street at 30’ on center spacing per the City of Edmonds Street Tree Plan.
Street tree sizing and species is to be determined at the time of building permit review.” The
Engineering Division will provide information on the required species and size for street trees that will
be appropriate given the proximity to the overhead power lines.The landscape plan and all applicable
plan sheets must be revised to indicate these street trees.
b.ECDC 20.13.015 establishes the minimum sizes at installation for shrubs and groundcover as well as
the maximum allowed spacing. Please review the minimum size and maximum spacing requirements
of ECDC 20.13.015 and ensure that the landscape plan is consistentwith these requirements.
c.Once the requested changes have been made to the landscape plan, please provide a cost estimatefor
all labor and materials for installation of the landscaping. This estimate will be utilized for calculation
of the requiredlandscape inspection fee as well as thelandscape maintenance bond. The maintenance
bond itself, however, does not need to be submitted until the landscaping has been installed. The
maintenance bond will be requested at the time of the Planning Division’s inspectionof the project.
6/13/17 Comment: This comment was not addressed. Street trees consistent with the ADB’s condition
were not added to the landscape plan, and a cost estimate was not included with the resubmittal.
Plan Consistency:
8.When making the above requested corrections and all additional corrections requested
by the other reviewing departments, please be sure that all plans associated with the proposal are revised
consistently with one another. For example, when revising the landscape plan to indicate the required
street trees along Edmonds Street, the site plan and all applicable civil plan sheets will also need to be
revised to indicate the locations of these trees and associated tree grates.
6/13/17 Comment: This comment is included again as a reminder as you revise the plans to address all
remaining comments.
Please submit twocopies of your revised site plan and two copies of any revised building plan sheets to a
Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
