RE: Planning Division comments for building permit file RLD 2014 0079)> Bartell's Flag Pole
Greetings,
Thank you for submitting a building permit application for flag pole at 23028 100"' Avenue West (Bartell's) in the BN zone. I have
reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and it was found that the following information, corrections, or
clarifications will need to be addressed before the Planning Division review can continue.
1. Site Plan:
a. Set acks — It appears that the proposed structure is set back at least 20' from the east "street" property line, as required by code.
However, please dimension the distance from the proposed structure to the east properly line on the site plan so this can be
confirmed.
b. Land - It appears that the structure is proposed in a parking lot landscaping island. Please confirm that no landscaping
will be removed with this proposal.
2. Height: The permit indicates both a 25' pole and a 28' pole. Please confirm that only 25' of the pole will be above ground,
3. I'm trying to determine how to review this proposal — is it a sign permit? If so, ECDC Chapter 20.60.005 offers the following
definitions:
"Commercial sign " is a sign displayed for the purpose of identifying a commercial use, or advertising a service, product, business or
venture that is offered for trade or sale.
"Pole signs " are freestanding signs where the structural support for the sign is a pole(s). Pole signs may include community event
banners where the banner is supported by at least two poles that are permanently attached to the ground ("pole -mounted community
event banners').
"Sign " is any structure, device or fixture that is visible from a public place, that incorporates graphics, symbols, or written copy for
the purposes of conveying a particular message to public observers, including wall graphics or identification structures.
"Sign area " is the maximum actual area of a sign that is visible from any singlepoint of observation from anypublic vantage point.
Supporting structures which are part of a sign display shall be included in the calculation of the sign area.
Unfortunately, pole signs are not permitted along the WestgaWSR-104 Corridor per ECDC Chapter 20.60.020.L. I'm wondering if
the goal is to have a banner/flag similar to what PCC has installed across the street? If so, their sign package was reviewed and
approved by the Architectural Design Board (ADB) and a condition of approval was made so that the banners do not display text or a
commercial image, but rather coordinate with and enhance the site design. Would you like additional information on the ADB's
design review process for a proposal that would include wall -mounted (not pole -mounted) banners? Please elaborate on the proposal.
Please submit a written response to the above, along with any reviser! plans to your Permit Coordinator: Marie Harrison. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look for -ward to working with you on this project,
Sincerely,
Gina,fianicek As,,,o(J(m1, t7owwr

RE: Question
Hi Tracie,
The pole is considered to be an accessory structure so for single-family and multi -family residential zones, the
maximum height is 15'. In a business or commercial zone, the maximum height depends on the zone - here's a
link to a commercial zone standards handout. The pole also has to meet the, setbacks required by the zone.
Setback info is on the commercial handout and on this handout for residential zones. Lighting should be
minimal and has to meet the property performance standards in ECDC 17.60.030,8.
Have a good day.
Mike
