RE: Plan review for required trash enclosure
2012-0407 — 2015 Ih Ave. S #204, Edmonds WA
The proposal for this space at the Old Milltown property, as well as the adjoining space
#201, will need to include a screened enclosure for the storage and collection of garbage
and recycle containers. An enclosure that had previously existed to serve this upper
portion of the Old Milltown complex, off of maple Street, was removed by the building's
owner (for reasons unknown) and therefore needs to be replaced.
This property is required to have an enclosure that serves this part of the property. The
whole complex presents a unique challenge where trash removal service is concerned.
When the redevelopment of the lower portion occurred, a trash/service area was created
along Dayton Street that was intended to serve tenants on the lower level only. The upper
level already had a dedicated collection area/enclosure.
Permits for all the remaining vacancies in the complex are now in review or have been
issued by the City. The lower trash collection area is not suitable for handling the total
building's trash service that is expected with full occupancy.
The former enclosure was located in the southwest portion of the upper parking area that is
accessed from Maple Street. The footprint of that structure was approximately 15' wide by
13' deep — inside dimensions. This will be the minimum size that will be accepted for
replacement.
Enclosure design standards and other details needed for submittal can be found in the
handout "Garbage & Recycle Collection Enclosure & Access Policy" available online at
our City website. Look under Development Services and go to handout E-37. Please feel
free to contact me with any questions.
