The City of Edmonds Building Division has performed a preliminary building code review of the
plans that were submitted under the referenced application number, and have the following
comments.
1. Building permits will be required for the following, as applicable: New home
construction; retaining walls; modifications to or demolition of existing structures.
2. Dwellings exceeding 3000 square feet of fire area require fire sprinklers.
3. Park Impact fees will be assessed for each new dwelling at a rate of $2734.05 each. The
fee may be waived for new homes that replace old homes provided the new construction
occurs within one year of the demolition of the old structure.
4. The topography of proposed Lot 1 contains slopes in excess of 50% and, given the
dimensions and orientation of the lot, appears to be a difficult site to develop.
Excavations, foundation design and related site work will be required to be based on a
geotechnical analysis. It is highly likely that temporary shoring will be required, and
sloped excavation cuts will be limited to generally accepted engineering practices. It is
also likely that peer review will be required for the geotechnical analysis and design.
Thank you.
