Case: # COD-2011-0286
Subject property: 536 Pine St., Edmonds, WA. 98020
Dear Mr. Brewer,
It has come to the attention of the City that the accessory building above the garage at 536 Pine
has been converted back to a dwelling unit.
As youre aware, there is a covenant (#7609230186) with the City of Edmonds filed on
September 23, 1976 that requires the garage and the storage area above to be used as an accessory
building and be in compliance with all applicable codes. The Board of Adjustment stated that the
kitchen facilities would need to be removed and the plumbing capped. The kitchen has been
removed and inspected before due to a previous covenant violation.
You do have the opportunity to apply for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit, however,
that does have design criteria and requires that you live at the property. There was a previous
application (ADU-2004-79) that was denied due to the location and appearance criterion.
The City requests to inspect the storage area over the garage to confirm that the kitchen facilities
remain removed and that the unit is used as an accessory building only.
Several documents have been enclosed including a copy of the covenant, the staff reports that
preceded it and the Edmonds Board of Adjustment Hearing dated July 21, 1976.
Please contact me by November 15, 2011 to arrange an inspection to be completed by November
30, 2011.
Please call if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
Code Enforcement Inspector
