Subdivision, part 7

Things are moving quickly now. First the sign last week, and now a corrections notice via email.

It's a zoning-review corrections notice, which implies I'll receive others, from different departments. But I guess that's a question for the planner.

The zoning reviewer's only comment is:

Please identify how parking requirements for Parcel A will be met. It appears that the existing 3 bay garage on Parcel B previously provided the required parking for the house on Parcel A. If so, parking for Parcel A will need to be re-established, as parking for single family residences is required to be provided on-site per SMC 23.44.016.

You may re-establish parking with a "Subject to Field Inspection" (STFI) permit. Please refer to Client Assistance Memo 316 (available online at http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/CAMs/CamList.aspx) for additional STFI information.
Those of you who have seen the house (or at least photos of it) will realize that the house on Parcel A has a basement garage. There is no parking to be re-established, with a STFI permit or without. The house has parking!

So how am I supposed to make the correction?

I think you just need an STFI permit claiming there is plenty of parking west of the house, more than most houses in the area.

Can the parking area east of the house be claimed, too? Do you need to tear down the garage on parcel B, and eliminate the easement to it, to claim it as parking space for Parcel A?

Maybe . . . but there's a garage in the house!

A garage with a new cement floor.
