RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2010-0732

BADGER ADDITION, LOCATED AT 20631 – 82 AVE. W
Dear Mr. Hasson:
I have reviewed your resubmittal dated November 22, 2010 for 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. Please note that I discussed these items with Mike Brower when he visited
our public service counter on December 2, 2010 and have had subsequent phone and email conversations with him
regarding the setback requirements, but I wanted to formalize the items that remain outstanding for the Planning
Division regarding our review of the above building permit application.
Setbacks
1.: Since the existing residence is nonconforming pursuant to the requirements of ECDC 17.40.020,
the structure may not be changed or altered in any manner which increases the degree of nonconformity. The
plans have been modified so that the entire structure will comply with the 7.5’ side setback from the northern
property line, and the addition will comply with the 7.5’ side setback from the southern property line, but the
current proposal would increase the nonconformity by bringing the structure further into the 25’ street setback
from the western property line. Since the structure is nonconforming, the roof of the carport and the eaves on
the western side of the house and the proposed covering over the front door may not extend past their current
locations, and the proposal will need to be modified so that the structure (including eaves) is not being
expanded further towards the western property line. I have discussed the potential for going through the
average front setback process pursuant to ECDC 16.20.040(A) with Mike Brower if this is of interest to the
property owner. Mr. Brower was going to look into the feasibility of this process and whether or not
averaging the front setback would be of any benefit for the proposal. As the proposal is modified to comply
with the setback and nonconforming structure requirements, please make all changes to both the site plan and
the building plans and elevations.
Lot Coverage
2.: 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. These calculations are separate from the
impervious surface calculations, which must include all eaves. If you have any questions on the impervious
surface calculations, please contact Jennifer Lambert, Engineering Technician, at (425) 771-0220. For the lot
coverage calculations, please only include the footprints of all existing and proposed structures, which would
include the residence, carport, and shed, but would not include the driveway nor the front walkway. Please
provide the proposed lot coverage in square feet and as a percentage of the lot area.
Height Calculations
3.: The height calculations are not consistent with the elevations of the four corners of the
height rectangle as shown on the site plan. Thus, please correct the average grade, maximum allowed height,
and proposed height based on the elevations of the four corners of the height rectangle. The revised average
grade, maximum height, and proposed height should be shown on the site plan and the building elevations.
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
