If you would like to keep the door swing in the direction currently shown,you could add a 36" deep landing before the ramp and the requirement would be satisfied.Sound good?Tony <image003.png> Tony Lee Building Official I Permit Services 425.257.8812 13200 Cedar Street, 2nd Floor, Everett,WA 98201 Hours: M/W/Th/F: 7:30am-12:OOpm & 1:00pm-3:00pm;Tu: 1:00pm-3:00pm everettwa.gov I Facebook I Twitter COVID-19 Update: Please reference our website& online resources for updates to our service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you for your assistance and the Approved as Noted. Unfortunately I probably did not make my studio drawing clear. One studio door(west door) is an exterior and opens onto an existing raised porch.The porch also serves as egress for the kitchen,with the kitchen door also exiting to the porch. The red line recommendation is to have one inswinging door revised to swing out. Unfortunately 1) swinging out could obstruct the exiting of the adjacent occupied space, le the kitchen,whereupon the swing could impact the kitchen egress and possibly get tangled up with the kitchen door screen door, which swings out. 2)the proposed studio door swing, by itself, blocks the studio egress to the porch and stairs (the porch is just a 3x4 ft landing)3) House exterior doors typically swing in-to swing out you would need a specially constructed door-for weatherization and security- le you would need to weatherproof and secure the door seals and hinges.4)this will be our only exterior door to swing to the outside.5)we do not condition this room,thus we will often leave the door open-which will become a safety hazard for the kitchen as mentioned above. I know that exterior doors in Florida (and Sweden) often swing to the outside, and they require a lot of special construction. 21 ,E
