RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0804
ADDITION AT 19120 83RD AVENUE WEST
Dear Mr. Hennig:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified:
1. Site Plan: Please indicate a scale appropriate for the site plan drawing. One inch to
one foot is listed.
2. Street Setback: Please indicate the actual setbacks for the addition from the north and
south property lines as you have for the western property line.
3. Height Calculation: The height calculations provided are difficult to understand
because actual elevations are mixed with numbers referenced to the water meter cover.
Please review the attached handout regarding height calculations and make changes as
applicable.
4. Lot Coverage: It is difficult to determine how the structural lot coverage was
calculated. 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 2.5 feet in from the outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever
covers the greatest area.” As a result, the lot coverage calculations should include the
total footprint of the existing house, porch and shop/garage, any decks constructed 30”
above original grade in addition to the new addition. Please provide the appropriate
existing and proposed lot coverage square footages and the final calculation as a
percentage of the total area of the lot.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one of which must be 8.5” by 14” inches or
smaller) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans. Please make all submittals to
Theresa Umbaugh, your 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, please contact me at (425)
771-0220, ext. 1330.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston
Planner, Development Services Department
