Good Afternoon David, Thank you for your submittal for a proposed Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) at 3430 Norton, Project File REVl21-027. My understanding is that the Historic Commission reviewed your proposal earlier this week and approved the design.Although the design has been approved by the HC, the application is still considered Active and there are remaining steps to take prior to final approval and construction: 1. A construction permit is required and typically processed concurrently with the REVI land use application.To date, it does not appear a construction permit application has been submitted. Please refer to the Permit Services website for minimum residential construction submittal requirements and permit submittal procedures. 2. The Historic Commission's review and approval was for the design of the proposed DADU only and should not be considered final approval of the project for construction. While the design of the proposed DADU does appear to meet most of the general and historical requirements outlined in EMC 19.08.100, it does not meet the minimum setback requirements.The proposed DADU must be placed at minimum 5' from the rear and side property lines in accordance with EMC 19.06. Since shifting the structure would not affect the design, there is no need to bring the proposal back to the historical commission for review. Note: EMC 19.38.030.C.2 allows for detached accessory structures with nonconforming setbacks be demolished and built in the same location provided the requirements of that section could be met, however this would allow for reconstruction of a new residential accessory building only i.e. garage, carport, shed, etc. and not for an accessory dwelling unit which is defined separately. 3. An Accessory Dwelling Unit Covenant must be recorded with the County Auditor's office prior to issuance of your construction permit. Please refer to page 7 of the ADU Checklist for reference; please email or drop off a copy of the covenant for my review prior to recording with the County Auditor. If you have any questions about these items or other Planning related requirements, please let me know and I'm happy to be of assistance.
