PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN
ADDITION/BBQ AT •
Dear Mr. Soltner,
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. Maximum allowable height for accessory structures: On the Plot Plan, the maximum
allowable height for the BBQ roof is shown as 25' as opposed to 15' according to ECDC
16.20.050.B. It is noted that the structure is proposed to be less than 15' so this is
simply a minor housekeeping matter.
2. Structural lot coverage: Please provide a breakout of the items contained in the lot
coverage calculation. 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-half feet in from the outside edge of
a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area." Include the BBQ roof, the
portions of the existing house being retained, the additions, etc.
3. Structures in new driveway: On the Plot Plan, please identify the half -oval structures
shown between the proposed garage doors. That portion of the fagade is currently
nonconforming with respect to setbacks (20' as opposed to 25'), therefore any new
structures in that location would have to be less than 3' to be located within the
setback area.
4. Cement wall: The cement panel wall is proposed to project approximately 39" into
the required 25' street setback from the north property line. There are exceptions in
the code for encroachment of some structures (ECDC 16.20.040) but a wall such as
this is not specifically mentioned. As a result, please revise to show compliance with
the setback requirement.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:

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.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
