RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTSFOR PLANCHECK #BLD20120590
PERKINS RESIDENCE,LOCATED AT 800 DALEY STREET
Dear Mr. Best:
I have reviewedyour resubmittal received on February 15, 2013 forthe above building permit applicationfor
the Planning Division,and it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need
to be addressedbefore review can continue:
1.Retaining Walls: Please respond to the following comments related to the retaining walls:
a.The diagram within the January 11, 2013 letter from Geo Group Northwest, Inc. includes top and
bottom of wall elevations; however, these elevations must also be indicated on the plot plan. Please
add the top and bottom of wall elevations of all proposed walls tothe plot plan.
b.The diagram within the Geo Group Northwest, Inc. letter indicates stairs adjacent to the proposed
wall located near the front entry; however, these stairs are not indicated on the plot plan nor the
building plans. Please indicate these stairs and the wall as necessary on all applicable project plans
in order to clarify what exactly is proposed at the front entry.
c.The proposed wall located near the front entry appears to exceed three feet in height over original
grade, which requires this wall to comply with all applicable setback requirements. Please either
reduce the height of this wall so that it does not exceed three feet in height over original grade at
any point along the wall, or relocate the wall so that it complies with the 20-footstreet setback from
the northern property line.
d.The elevations of the tops of the two retaining walls running near the eastern side of the site are less
than three feet over original grade for the majority of the lengths of these walls; however, the
elevations of the tops of these two walls exceed three feet over original grade at the southernmost
portions of these walls. In order for these walls to be allowed within the 15-footcritical areas
building setback, they cannot exceed three feet in height as measured over original grade.
Therefore, please either relocate the southern portions of these retaining walls and/or reduce the
heights of the tops of these walls within the critical areas building setback area so that the portions
of these walls within the setback area do not exceed three feet as measured over original grade.
Please submit two copies of all revised building plan sheets and three copies of all revised site plan sheets
(including one reduced copy).All submittals should be made to a Development Services Permit Coordinator,
Monday through Friday,between8:00 am and4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel freeto contact me at
