RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2009-0219
WORTHINGTON RETAINING WALL AT 717 ALDER STREET
Dear Mr. Shapiro:
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:
Wall Height:
1.Retaining walls must meet the minimum required setbacks for the zone in
which they are located unless the walls are less than three feet in height over original grade.
Since the proposed retaining wall system is located within the 15-foot rear setback from the
northern property line and within the 5-foot side setbacks from the western and eastern
property lines, it will need to be shown that the portions of the walls within the setbacks do
no exceed three feet in height over original grade. Therefore, please label both walls at
five-foot intervals with top of wall and original grade elevations to show that the walls will
not exceed three feet in height over original grade.
Existing Wall:
2.Please label the portion of the retaining wall that is existing as such on
your plans.
Erosion Hazard Area:
3.Since the subject site contains an Erosion Hazard Area, please
indicate the proposed erosion control measures to be implemented during construction on
your plans.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through
Friday, between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
(425) 771-0220, ext. 1224.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
