RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK #BLD20111025

GOUSSEV DECK, LOCATED AT 23726 107 PL. W
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Goussev:
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:
Stairs:
1. Indicate the stairs to the deck on the site plan.
Property Dimensions:
2. Indicate the lengths of all property lines on the site plan.
Setbacks:
3. Indicate on the site plan the shortest distances from the deck to the northern, western,
and southern property lines so that staff may verify compliance with setback requirements.
Height:
4. On the elevation views, indicate the height of the deck, including the height to the top of
the guardrail.
Lot Coverage:
5. 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 two
and one-half feet in from the outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest
area. The maximum allowed lot coverage for the single-family residential (RS) zones is 30 percent
of the net lot area. Please provide lot coverage calculations on your site plan, including the
footprint of the existing residence, proposed deck, stairs, and any other structures on the site (i.e.
shed, garage, gazebo, decks, covered patios, etc.). Since lot coverage is calculated as a percentage
of the area of the site, please also include the lot area on your site plan.
Landslide Hazard Area:
6. Please indicate the steep slope on your site plan. It appears that the deck
may be located within the minimum required 50-foot buffer from the toe of the slope. You
indicated during our phone conversation today that you plan to utilize the existing concrete
footings, and that only one new footing is needed. Please indicate this on your plans and show the
location of the new footing and its distance from the toe of the steep slope. If this footing is within
50 feet of the toe of the slope, please either show how this footing is within the existing developed
footprint (you described this footing as being in a small patch of dirt completely surrounded by
existing patio and pavement), or submit a report by a qualified geotechnical engineer addressing the
applicable critical areas requirements of ECDC 23.40 and 23.80.
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
