RE: Shoreline letter of exemption/Project Narrative;
Shoreline Staff:
Please see attached application for a shoreline letter of exemption along with dock and site plan
information. The exemption is requested for the normal maintenance and repair of an existing
dock owned by John & Julie Duggan at their home at 2815 Mountain View Ave N on Lake
Washington. The subject property is zoned R-8 as are adjacent properties. The area is low
bank/existing urban shoreline type development with high density residential uses. According to
the King County Assessor’s database the property is 23,239 SF (.53 acre)
The dock is old/worn and in need of periodic maintenance. The repair work includes replacing
the existing dock framing with ACZA treated fir beams (4” x 8” and 6” x 8”). The existing
wooden decking would be replaced with ThruFlow grated panels. Piles would be sleeved with
HDPE tubes as shown on page 2 of the attached plans.
The owners are requesting permission from the City to do the repair under the shoreline
exemption criteria of WAC 173-27-040(2)(b). No impervious surfaces are to be added and no
land disturbance or fill/dredge is proposed. As such we are requesting a waiver of the Grading
Plan requirement. If you have any questions or would like any additional information please
contact me at your convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jay H. Irwin
