RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0635
NEW OFFICE BUILDING AT 675 EDMONDS WAY (FORMERLY 665
EDMONDS WAY)
Dear Mr. Shapiro:
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. Sidewalk: There had been some discussion of realigning the sidewalk on the property
along Edmonds Way to provide a landscaped buffer to increase pedestrian safety. In
fact, you had submitted an updated site plan on May 14, 2008, indicating the change. I
notice the change has not been made to the site plan (Al.l) in the building permit
submittal. Please clarify.
2. Site Plan scale: The scale on the site plan (AIA) indicates 1:20 but it scales to 1:10.
Please verify.
3. Datum Point: Please identify the datum point on the site plan and indicate its
elevation.
4. Landscaping Bid: Please provide an estimate of the cost of the landscaping
improvements including materials and labor. It is noted that the changes to the
landscaping requested by the ADB have been incorporated into the landscape plan
(Ll .1) submitted with the building permit. Thank you.
5. Sculpture Pad: A `future sculpture pad' is indicated on the site plan (Al.1) near the
southeast corner of the parcel between the proposed building and Edmonds Way. This
feature is not identified on the landscaping plan (LIA), nor was it shown on the site
plan reviewed by the ADB. If such a feature is to be included, it must be less than 36"
in height since it would be located in the setback area along Edmonds Way.
6. Materials: As indicated in the ADB's approval of the project, "a final materials board
and elevations or perspective drawings shall be submitted that depict the final choice of
materials and colors for the building." Please submit said materials and drawings and I
can schedule a time to take them back to the ADB for a courtesy review. If a sculpture
is anticipated for the landscaped area along Edmonds Way, it would be useful to submit
a drawing of that as well for the ADB to take a look at.
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
