Inventory the surfaces already present
Show the terrace, driveway, paths and other built surfaces on a current site plan. Identify their materials and dimensions so the reviewer has more than the proposed cover drawing.

Patio covers in Clyde Hill, WA.
Patio covers in Clyde Hill should be compared with the surfaces already occupying the property. A terrace, driveway and paths contribute to the site conversation before a new roof adds another structure.
Evergreen Home Pro helps you assemble the existing hardscape and proposed shelter in one project description. Bring a site sketch and information about paving materials so the city can review the applicable coverage accounting instead of relying on a product’s marketing label.
Explore a patio-cover concept for your Clyde Hill home.
Compare available styles, width and projection for a starting range. Confirm the property’s coverage accounting, full roof outline and supporting work before finalizing the shelter.

Patio cover installation
Put the existing paving and proposed roof on the same plan.
Separate structural coverage from impervious-surface coverage in the design discussion. Clyde Hill publishes limits for both and says it does not recognize products marketed as pervious pavers. Have the designer and city determine how existing and proposed surfaces are counted, including any overlap between paving and a new roof.
Verify how paving products are counted
Bring the actual product information, but do not assume a pervious-paver label reduces the city’s coverage calculation. Ask how the surface is treated under Clyde Hill’s rules.
Keep the full roof outline visible
Show roof edges and overhangs separately from posts. Have the reviewer assess the complete projection and explain how it relates to existing site coverage and setbacks.
Before work begins
Confirm both coverage calculations for the complete property.
Clyde Hill’s permit guidance identifies separate structural and impervious coverage limits and states that products marketed as pervious pavers are not recognized for this purpose. Ask the city to confirm the calculation for the actual paving, structures and proposed roof.
The same guidance measures setbacks and structural coverage from the outermost projection of a structure. Have the complete roof edge reviewed and keep supporting terrace, drainage and foundation work in the project description.
Patio Covers questions for Clyde Hill homeowners.
Will pervious pavers automatically reduce the city’s counted coverage?
Do not assume that. Clyde Hill’s permit guidance says it does not recognize products marketed as pervious pavers; have the city confirm how the proposed surface is counted.
Should I simply add the patio area and cover area together?
Have the designer and reviewer establish the applicable structural and impervious calculations, including overlapping surfaces. A simple sum does not determine the city’s treatment.
Which existing improvements belong on the cover’s site plan?
Show relevant paving and structures with materials, dimensions and the full proposed roof outline. Ask the city what additional site information is required.
