RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2010-0663
BOTTIN DECK, LOCATED AT 17810 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE
Dear Mr. Bannister:
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:
Lot Dimensions: It was noted that the property owner owns three adjacent parcels and that the lot
1.
dimensions shown on the site plan do not correspond with the property lines of the three parcels, nor do they
distinguish the locations of each individual parcel. Since these are three separate parcels, it will need to be
shown that the proposed deck complies with the site development standards for the parcel on which the house
is located (parcel #00513100016103), or the parcels will need to be combined or the lot lines adjusted to the
extent necessary for the deck to comply with the applicable development standards. In particular, it is unclear
if the proposed deck will comply with setback requirements from the southern and western property lines of
the parcel on which it is located and if it will comply with maximum lot coverage requirements (as discussed
below). Therefore, please update the site plan to reflect the location of the property lines of the parcel on
which the home is located (parcel #00513100016103), and provide setback and lot coverage information as
described below. If the deck will not comply with these requirements, please contact me to discuss lot
combination or lot line adjustment options.
Setbacks: The minimum required setbacks for the RS-8 zone are as follows: 25’ street setback from the
2.
eastern property line, 7.5’ side setbacks from the northern and southern property lines, and 15’ rear setback
from the western property line. Please provide the shortest distances from the deck to all four property lines
of the parcel containing the residence (parcel #00513100016103) in order to show compliance with the
minimum required setbacks. If the deck will not comply with the required setbacks to the property lines of
this one parcel, the deck will need to be modified in order to comply or a lot combination or lot line
adjustment will be necessary.
Lot Coverage
3.: Lot coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings or 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. Please provide lot coverage calculations on
your site plan. Note that the lot coverage calculations must include the areas of the footprint of the existing
residence, garage, deck, and any other existing or proposed structures on this parcel. Please provide the total
lot coverage in square feet and as a percentage of the lot area of the parcel containing the residence (parcel
#00513100016103). The maximum allowed lot coverage for the RS-8 zone is 35 percent of the net lot area.
As stated above regarding the setback requirements, if the deck will not comply with the maximum lot
coverage requirements, the deck will need to be modified in order to comply or a lot combination or lot line
adjustment will be necessary.
All submittals should be made 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
