RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS 2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2009-0316 & 0317
NEW SFR AT 16911 TALBOT ROAD
Dear Mr. Tiegs:
Thank you for resubmitting so quickly in response to my previous comments. I have again reviewed
the above building permit applications and found that the following information (bold underline}
needs to be clarified in a written response:
1. The associated geotechnical report appears to largely satisfy the requirements of Chapters
23.40 and 23.80 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC). However,
please comment generally on how the proposed project satisfies the design standards of
ECDC 23.80.070.A.3, and speak specifically to the new paving which encroaches
extensively into the proposed 30' geotechnical setbackibuffer. UNRESOLVED — This
information has to do more with the SFR hermit and so may be submitted after the
demo permit concerns are resolved.
2. On Sheet ALO, Grading and Demolition Site Plan, please show the temporary erosion and
sediment control BMP(s) selected to protect the steep slope area to the east of the subject
parcel, particularly since the `area of construction staging' is to be within the slope
setback/buffer. UNRESOLVED — Please submit a formal erosion and sediment control
plan prepared in accordance with ECDC 18.30.050 in support of the demolition
permit.—The City's Engineering Division will review, and must ultimately approve,
the plan before the demo permit can be issued.
3. Please verify the height calculations. Per ECDC 21.40.0303, "if a corner falls off the site,
its elevation shall be the average elevation of the two points projected downward where the
two sides of the rectangle cross the property line." The proposed 140.10' average grade
seems to have been calculated by averaging all five points rather than averaging the off-site
point first. Make any changes to the Site Plan (ALO) and Elevations (A3.0) as necessary.
RESOLVED
4. Please provide a breakdown of the calculated structural lot coverage. For reference, lot
coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings and structures on a site
measured from the outside of external walls or supporting members or from a point 30
inches in from the outside edge of the eaves, whichever covers the greatest area.
RESOLVED
5. Please identify the datum selected to calculate the height rectangle on the Site Plan, Sheet
Al.0. RESOLVED
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. If you
have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
4 "- A �4�
