RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-1072
OFFICE/WAREHOUSE AT 7220 210TH STREET SW
Dear Mr. Clark:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division and found that
the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before review
can continue:
1. Height Calculations. While it is apparent that the proposed building will be
approximately 30’ high and therefore comply the height requirements of the CG2
zone, the City requires that height calculations be shown for all construction. Please
refer to the attached handout that describes the height calculation process.
2. Landscape Plan. Three issues need to be addressed that were identified as
conditions by the ADB in their design approval of the project from June 9, 2006. A
fourth concern was also identified during my review.
a. The landscape plan must be modified to include appropriate ground cover in the
entire southern and western planting beds adjacent to the building.
b. All planting beds must be irrigated.
c. Seven percent of the parking lot area must be set aside as planting beds. Because
extra parking spaces have been proposed, there should be adequate room for
additional features such as landscape islands or peninsulas. Please indicate the
total area of the parking lot as well as the area of each existing and proposed
planting bed. Show the calculations of how the seven percent threshold is
achieved. Call out the existing and new beds on the site plan; for example, the
existing peninsula directly to the northeast of the building.
d. The proposed landscape plan (3/28/06) does not match the site plan or civil
drawings in the area of the parking lot immediately north of the trash enclosures.
Please show the change on the landscaping plan and include the rectangular
planting bed in the calculations mentioned in above in 2c.
You may redline your plans to reflect any changes; or, if you are submitting new plans, please
submit 3 site plans (one must be reduced size) and 2 sets of the updated pages of the building
plans. Please make all submittals to Marie Harrison, your Development Services Permit
Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm; we are closed Wednesdays. If you
have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston
Planner
