OLIVER ADDITION AT 1201 – 8 AVENUE SOUTH
Dear Ms. Beadel:
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.
Lot Coverage:
1.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. Since decks and stairs over three feet in height meet the definition of a “structure”,
they should also be included in lot coverage calculations. It appears that the lot coverage
figure provided on your site plan (1,523.6 square feet) may not include all structures on the
site and/or may exclude more than 30 inches of eaves. Therefore, please provide a
breakdown of your lot coverage calculations on your site plan, including the footprint of the
existing residence (excluding up to 30 inches of eaves), the proposed addition, the existing
deck and stairs that exceed three feet in height over original grade and the proposed
addition to the deck.
Height Calculations:
2.Please make the following corrections to your height calculations:
a.Per ECDC 21.40.030.B, the height rectangle used for your height calculations shall be
the smallest rectangle that will enclose all of the building, excluding a maximum of 30
inches of eaves. Uncovered decks are not included in the height rectangle. The height
rectangle shown on your site plan appears to include the eaves, although up to 30
inches of eaves should be excluded from the height rectangle. Therefore, please
confirm the location of your height rectangle and make any necessary updates.
Additionally, if the elevations of any of the four corners change, please update your
height calculations accordingly.
b.It appears that there was a typo with labeling the four corners of your height rectangle
(three of the corners are labeled as “B”). Please correct the labels of the four corners.
The above items may be redlined on your plans. Please make all submittals to a Development
Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, excluding Wednesdays, between 8:00 am
and 4:30 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
