RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0677
EAGLEWOOD HOMES SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 907 CEDAR ST.
Dear Applicant:
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:
Site Plan:
1. Please make the following changes to your site plan:
a.Show and label the outline of the portion of the upper floor that cantilevers over the lower
floor on the southern side of the residence.
b.Label the retaining walls/rockeries as existing or proposed.
Lot Coverage:
2.Lot coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings or structures on
a site measured from the outside of external walls or supporting members or from a point 30 inches
in from the outside edge of the eaves, whichever covers the greatest area. Note that since stairs and
decks that are more than 3 feet over original grade are considered to be structures, the portion of the
stairs to the main entrance that are more than 3 feet over original grade must be included in the lot
coverage calculations. Additionally, the covered porch, uncovered upper floor deck, and the portion
of the upper floor that cantilevers over the lower floor on the southern side of the residence must also
be included in the calculations. The site plan states that the “building including deck” is 2,122
square feet; however, it is unclear if this includes the covered porch, the stairs over 3 feet in height,
or the portion of the upper floor that cantilevers over the lower floor on the southern side of the
house. Based on staff’s calculations, it appears that the proposed lot coverage is slightly over the
maximum allowed 35%. Please provide a breakdown of the lot coverage calculations on the site
plan and reduce the size of the proposed residence if necessary to reduce the proposed lot coverage
to below the maximum allowed 35%.
Height Calculations:
3. Please move Points A and B of your height rectangle slightly to the south so
that the height rectangle includes the portions of the upper floor that cantilever over the lower floor
on the southern side of the residence and so that the rectangle includes the posts supporting the roof
for the covered front porch (the height rectangle may only exclude up to 30 inches of eaves). Please
update the elevations of Points A and B accordingly and update the height calculations to reflect the
new elevations of Points A and B. Note that the height calculations should be updated on the site
plan and the building plans.
Please submit three copies of the updated site plan (at least one copy must be reduced in size) and only two
copies of any affected sheets of the building plans. Please make all submittals to a 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 (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224. I look forward to working with you on this
project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
