RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2006-1114
VARELA RETAINING WALL AT 9313 --190TH STREET SOUTHWEST
Dear Mr. Varela:
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
review can continue:
I. Setbacks: Rockeries and retaining walls may not be located within the minimum required
setbacks for a lot unless they are less than three feet in height (as measured from original
grade). The top of wall elevations of the proposed retaining wall are shown on the site plan
as being more than three feet over the original grade, particularly along the western portion
of the wall. Please either reduce the height of the retaining wall so that it is less than three
feet over original grade or move the retaining wall so that it meets the required setbacks.
2. Height: Please provide top of wall and original grade elevations along the entire proposed
retaining wall at five-foot intervals.
Please redline plans or submit three sets of revised plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a
written response to each of the above items Please make all submittals to the Development
Services Permit Coordinator Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If
you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Machuga@ci.edmonds.wa.us. I look forward
to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - PIanning Division
