• S RESPONSE TO CITY OF EVERETT PERMIT SERVICES SECOND INTAKE BUILDING REVIEW RESPONSE RESPONSE: A floor plan for each level of the existing 2-story house with the information you requested has been included in the plan set: Al2 and A13, Main & Upper floor plans respectively. 4. COMMENT: The historical SnoCo records for this house do not indicate that the basement was finished (i.e., habitable). There appears to be unpermitted work, including but not limited to the bathroom by the stairs. All work at this level should be shown as new construction in the current project, or documentation substantiating that the work was previously permitted should be submitted for review. RESPONSE: After our conversation, I pulled up the permit from June 27, 1980. It is attached here for your reference. We believe the bathroom by the stairs was permitted as part of the original construction permit through the following information: 1980 PERMIT FIXTURE COUNT: 4 water closets 2 bathtubs 6 lavatories 1 shower Upon count of the existing fixtures on the main and upper floor, which are shown on the existing drawings, Al2 & A13, the following counts appears to substantiate the basement bathroom: MAIN & UPPER FLOOR FIXTURE COUNT: 3 water closets 2 bathtubs 5 lavatories 0 showers BASEMENT FIXTURE COUNT: 1 water closet 0 bathtubs 1 lavatory 1 shower As you can see on existing drawing, I've defined the area of the bathroom and adjacent hallway/stairs as existing and approved as part of the original permit. We are not proposing any changes in this area and I have subtracted that from the square footage of the 'new habitable space'. The assumption is that all of the exterior and structural walls for floors above are existing and were permitted as part of the original building permit, but any additional work to make the basement habitable is new. These areas are identified on the Existing Floor Plan, Sheet A6. 2of4
