RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2011-0669
TRIED SFR AT 7109 LAKE BALLINGER WAY
Dear Brian,
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:
Critical Areas: The project site abuts Lake Ballinger. The critical area checklist associated with
the address (CRA-2001 -0 100) noted this and indicated the possible presence of wetlands adjacent to
the lake. In addition, there is a mapped Zone A flood hazard at the subject location according to
FIRM Map Panel 1315. As a result, critical area studies are required as part of this development
project, including: a wetland report prepared pursuant to Chapter 23.50 of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC), and a flood hazard study prepared according to Chapter
23.70 ECDC. In each case, you may use either a consultant from the City's roster (enclosed) or one
of your own choosing. If you use a consultant that is not on the approved list, however, third party
review of the reports is required (ECDC 23.40.090).
2. Corner elevations and height calculations: Please verify the northern corners of the calculated
height rectangle. It appears that each point is about half way between the 288' and 286' foot topo
lines but both are labeled as 288'.
3. Structural lot coverage: Please verify the structural lot coverage for the proposal. According to
ECDC 21.15.110, "[c]overage means 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 two and
one-halffeet in from the outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area.
4. Concrete pad: A concrete pad for gas tanks is noted on Sheet 7. Please show this pad on the
survey map. Note that no structures greater than 3' may be located within a required setback area
except those noted in ECDC 16.20.040, as well as residential fences less than six feet in height and
retaining walls, rockeries, and similar improvements of a minor character less than three feet in
height.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 11 x17 or smaller) and two
sets of any updated sheets of the building plans. 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.
