Sammamish Unified Development Code

Development Standards—Design Requirements | Town Center

ii. Courtyard Access Lots. This includes a series of lots clustered around a private internal roadway. Standards: a) Maximum number of lots served by a courtyard access: five (this includes lots fronting the street on either side of the courtyard access); b) Maximum length of a courtyard access: 100 feet (or deeper if approved by the local fire department); c) Surface width of courtyard access: 15 feet. Due to the limited length, wider drives are unnecessary (safety and function) and undesirable (aesthetics); and d) An easement of 20 feet in width shall be secured over the applicable parcels to allow lots legal access to the public street. A maintenance agreement shall be required for all applicable lots and shall be recorded on the final plat.

b) Privacy Wall. In order to maintain privacy, no windows, doors, air conditioning units, or any other types of openings in the walls along a zero lot line structure are allowed except for windows that do not allow for visibility into the side yard of the adjacent lot. Examples include clerestory or obscured windows; and c) Eaves along a zero lot line may project a maximum of 18 inches over the adjacent property line.

iii. Pedestrian-Only Entry Lots. This includes configurations where one or more lots are clustered
