The covered patio encroaches into the required 5' side setback. It appears you are applying the nonconforming building expansion criteria in EMC 19.38.030; However, I do not see in our records that a Nonconforming Building Certification (NCB) has been issued for this address. Submitting an NCB application is the first step required before the nonconforming building could be expanded up to in the setback. Additionally,the covered patio does not appear to meet the "attached accessory building" criteria in EMC 19.22.020 (see below). Therefore,this would not be considered an expansion of the nonconforming single-family residence and the 25%expansion could not be applied. You mentioned in a previous email that the covered patio/breezeway may be removed. If this is the case, please revise the plans accordingly. Note:An uncovered patio may encroach into the side setback if no higher than 42" above existing grade per EMC 19.06.030. 2. The height limit is 2 floors up to 28' maximum and the height is measured from the average alley elevation at the rear lot line per EMC 19.22.060.B.4.a. Please clearly show the height calculations on the elevation drawings. 3. Please note a survey will be required of the north property line because it is within 1-foot of the 5' setback. This will be a condition of approval when the permit is issued. 4. The garage appears to meet the historic design guidelines and as long as it is not attached to the residence,this would not be considered an addition to the contributing structure and design review by the historical commission will not be required for a new detached garage.
