Dear Mr. Mujkanovic,
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. Retaining wall: Because your site contains steep slopes as identified in CRA-2009-0092,
the proposed retaining wall requires a building permit according to ECDC 18.40. Please
see enclosed Handout #62 for submittal requirements.
Fence: In order to install a 6' fence on top of the retaining wall, the wall must be less than
36" tall. ECDC 17.30.000.1) states: "When a retaining wall three feet in height or greater
is contiguous to and below a proposed fence, the proposed fence may be constructed for
the purposes of safety not greater than four feet above the top of the retaining wall or the
finished grade, whichever is less, without the necessity for a variance." If the retaining
wall is 36" or greater at any point, the fence may only be 4' in those locations. If you
choose to simply install a fence without the retaining wall, the fence may be up to 6'.
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
