4 Planning and Allan Giffen Community Development Director August 9, 2013 Ray Gillum 2105 Grand Ave. Everett, WA 98201 Re: Corrections to Proposed Plans for Upper Floor Remodel Dear Ray, The following corrections are required to your plans for an upper floor remodel. These corrections are for compliance with the Rucker/Grand Historic Overlay Zone standards of the Zoning Code. There may be additional comments from the Building Division about compliance with the Building Code. 1. Front setback In this zone, the front setback of a property may be the average of the setbacks of the two adjacent properties from the sidewalk. This distance is measured to the body of the house, not to eaves or porches. (EMC 19.33.180(A)(1)]. According to the site plan you submitted, the setbacks of the properties adjacent to your property from the sidewalk are 37 feet 6 inches and 37 feet, respectively. Accordingly, the allowed front setback is the average of these two setbacks, which would be 37 feet 3 inches from the front sidewalk. As noted on the site plan, the setback of your existing house is 38 feet. The maximum distance the deck would be allowed to project beyond the front wall of the house is 9 inches, bringing the deck to the allowed setback of 37 feet 3 inches. The plans submitted for the upstairs remodel show the upstairs deck projecting 2 feet beyond the front wall of the house. At a minimum, the plans must be revised so that the deck does not project more than 9 inches beyond the front wall of the house. In addition, EMC 19.39.180, "Survey required", states as follows: Where the proposed building, addition, or alteration is within one foot of a required setback or within one foot of the maximum allowable height, the planning director and building official should always require a full or limited survey, unless extraordinary circumstances justify otherwise.
