RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0252
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS AT 20024 MAPLEWOOD LANE
Dear Mr. Mucci:
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. Height Calculations: Please split the height rectangle into two – one enclosing the
house, deck, porches and breezeway and the other enclosing the garage. The garage is
considered an accessory structure to the primary residential structure so its height must
be calculated separately. See the enclosed drawing for a rough idea of my request.
Note that Point A was moved approximately 3’ to the west to enclose the landing and
stairs off of the deck. Please make any changes necessary to the resulting height
calculations, as applicable.
2. Accessory Structure: According to ECDC 16.20.050.B, the height of accessory
buildings is limited to 15’ above average original grade. It appears that the garage may
exceed that limit. If that is the case, please revise the plans for the garage accordingly
to ensure it is no greater than 15’ in height.
3. Arbor Posts: On the site plan, it appears that two posts supporting the southern extent
of the arbor will be located in the south side setback (see attached plan). From the
elevation drawings, it does not appear that these posts will exist. Please confirm and
remove any arbor structure from the setback area, if necessary.
You may redline your existing plans or submit three copies of your updated site plan (one
reduced size) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans. Please make all submittals
to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm,
except on Wednesdays when we are closed for permit review. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
