RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2013-0415
NEW SFR AT 20019 80TH AVENUE WEST
Dear Mr. Shaflik,
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. Datum point: On the Site Plan, please label the datum point selected for the project
and include its elevation, actual or assumed. The datum point must be a permanent
point of reference like a fire hydrant, water meter, manhole, street monument or
similar.
2. Setbacks: The Site Plan shows 5' property line setbacks around the site. The subject
parcel is zoned RS-8 and so has a 25' street setback, 7.5' side setbacks, and a 15' rear
setback. Please update the site plan accordingly and confirm whether the location of
the proposed house satisfies these dimensions.
3. Tree retention and protection: On the Site Plan, please show the location of existing
trees on the site. For those trees being retained during the redevelopment process,
describe how the protection standards of ECDC 18.45.050.H will be met.
4. Fences, rockeries, decks: Are any fences, rockeries, decks or similar features
proposed? If so, please identify them on the Site Plan.
5. Height rectangle: Please verify the height corners shown on the Site Plan. The
corners must describe the smallest rectangle that encloses the structure. For
example, corners A & D need to be moved to the west to enclose the garage.
Likewise, corners B & C need to be moved to the east to enclose the bay window. Any
changes in the elevations of the corners will require recalculation of the average grade
and maximum allowed height on the site.
6. Elevations: Based on the updated corner elevations, please label and include the
heights for the average original grade, the proposed height, and the maximum
allowed height on the Elevation sheet (Sheet 1).
7. Structural lot coverage: Please verify the structural lot coverage for the site.
According to ECDC 21.15.110: "Coverage 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 a break-out of the
area for the house, garage, porches, and the like as well as a calculation as a
percentage of the total lot area.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmondsnt.html.
Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one being reduced size of 11 x 17 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 (8:00 to
12:00 only on Wednesday). If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
���,P�64
