RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0320
STEVENSON ADDITION/REMODEL AT 1115 OLYMPIC AVENUE
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson:
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:
Yard Storage:
1.The Building Code considers the yard storage with overhead door to be a
garage; however, driveway access was not indicated with your submittal. Please note that if
the yard storage will be accessed via a driveway off of the private road to the north of the
subject property, the private road would then serve a total of five lots and would be
considered a street for setback purposes. Please indicate how the yard storage will be
accessed. If it will be accessed off of the private road, please adjust your plans so that the
residence will meet a 25-foot street setback from the northern property line.
Cantilevers:
2.Please indicate all portions of the upper floors that cantilever over the lower
floors on your site plan (i.e. where the media room projects over the yard storage, where the
master bedroom projects over the kitchen). Additionally, it appears that the upper floor deck
off of the master bedroom was not shown on your site plan. Therefore, please show the
outline of this deck on your site plan.
Datum Point:
3.The point used as the datum for your height calculations should be a fixed
point that is not likely to move. The datum point is indicated on your plans as being three
nails on the west side of the power pole. However, since it is possible for the nails to be
moved, please relocate your datum point to a fixed location, such as the top of the fire
hydrant near the northeast corner of your property.
Height Calculations:
4.Please indicate the average grade, maximum allowed height, and
proposed height on the elevation views on sheet 5 of your building plans. Additionally,
please provide the elevation of the proposed height on your site plan.
The above changes may be redlined on the plans we currently have on file with your permit
application. 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
