RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2011-0268
ADDITION/REMODEL AT 8903 188T11 STREET
Dear Mr. Whitney,
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 in a written
response:
1. Structural lot coverage: 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 update the structural lot coverage
calculations to include the existing house and proposed addition, the pool house and
pool area itself since it is covered by a wood structure, and all decks and sheds.
2. Setbacks: The subject parcel is one of four served by the long driveway off of 188th
Street SW. As a result, 8903 1881h Street is considered to be a flag lot. Flag lots have
side setbacks all around — in this case, 10'. Please update the site plan to indicate the
10' setback from each property line.
3. Height calculations: Point A of the height rectangle is shown with an elevation of
342.50' but based on the topography it would appear to be slightly less than 342'.
Similarly, Point C is shown as 339' while the topography lines would seem to indicate
that it is greater than 340'. Please confirm and update the associated height
calculations on the site plan and elevation drawings.
You may either redline the existing plans or submit two copies of any revised plan sheets. Please
make all submittals to a 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,
Mike Clugston, AICP
Associate Planner
