sent through the Dashboard once the materials are considered adequate for initial City review. After the City's
review of the application has been completed and the Lot Line Alteration is ready to be sent to King County for

paper/mylar drawing with original signatures and notarizations for recording with King County.
Dimensioned plans and legal descriptions of the existing lot configuration and proposed lot configuration.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the 8 1/2" x 11" format provided by the City. One paper copy is
required for recording. (Note: If larger mylar drawings are necessary, the applicant can expect a higher
recording fee, determined by King County, and additional time to process.)
If a mylar is used to record the Lot Line Alteration, the City requires one mylar and four (4) paper copies of the
signed mylar. Legal descriptions of proposed lots are not required when recorded with King County as a survey.
The mylars shall include the following notes:
