RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS 2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0938
NEW 4-UNIT CONDOMINIUM (NORTH CREST) AT 620 GLEN STREET
Dear Mr. Klemm:
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. Datum: Please indicate on the Site Plan the location and elevation of the datum point
used to calculate height for the project. RESOLVED
2. Scale: Please verify the scale on the Site Plan. It is described as 1:20 but the scale bar
indicates 1:10. UNRESOLVED — I redlined the site plan to a 1:10 scale.
3. Light Bollards: Please locate the lighting bollards described in Condition 9 of the
design approval (ADB-07-80) on the Site Plan and/or Landscaping Plan.
UNRESOLVED — I redlined two bollards on the topo sheet and sheet A4.
4. Landscape Plan: Condition 5 of the design approval states:
Appropriately sized Tilia cordata "Greenspire'/ Greenspire Linden trees shall be
placed in new planting areas (4' by 4' minimum) in the four exterior corners of both
driveways.
The intent of the condition was that additional 4' by 4' planting areas are to be located
at the exterior corners of the driveways. These areas are not currently shown on the
Landscaping Plan. If the condition was not sufficiently clear, I apologize.
I've scanned the submitted Plan and indicated where the additional planting areas are to
be located. The four Greenspire Linden are to be planted in those areas with
groundcover similar to the remainder of the site. Groundcover and shrubs can be
relocated to the spaces where the Greenspire are currently indicated. RESOLVED
5. Landscaping Bid: Please provide a cost estimate including all labor and materials
required to install the landscaping. RESOLVED
6. Trellis: Please indicate the design and height of the proposed trellis (which would
actually be termed an `arbor' with respect to the Edmonds Community Development
Code). According to ECDC 17.30.035.C.3, an arbor up to a maximum of nine feet may
be constructed over a gate, walkway or entrance. RESOLVED
7. Heieht Calculations: As indicated in the Building Division's comments from January
6, 2009, the height calculations shown do not appear to match the lines of topography.
On the Site Plan and sheet Al, all four corners are listed at 109 feet. On the TESC &
Grading Plan, the height calculation lists the four corners as: 104.99', 105.94', 106.88'
and 106.26'. These elevations appear to agree better with the existing topography of
the site. Per ECDC 21.40.030, height means the average vertical distance from the
average level of the undisturbed soil of the site covered by a structure to the highest
point of the structure. Please verify which set of calculations are correct and make any
changes necessary to the site plan, elevation drawings, etc.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
c
