RE: 2
SALINAS GARAGELOCATEDAT 1246 VIEWLAND WAY
Dear Mr. Waite:
I have reviewed your July 16, 2013 resubmittal for the 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:
Critical Areas:
1.The following comment was included in staff’s June 26, 2013 plan review
commentsand was not addressed with the July 16, 2013 resubmittal:The existing critical
areas determination on the subject site (File No. CRA19940126) was issuedprior to amajor
critical areas code revision adopted in 2005. The subject site has been reassessed for the
presence of critical areas on or adjacent to the site under the parametersof the current critical
areas code, and it appears that the eastern side of the site contains and/or is adjacent to a
slope that is steep enough to be considered a Landslide Hazard Area pursuant to the
requirements of ECDC 23.40 and 23.80.Due to the proposed garage’s location within the
minimum required buffer from the Landslide Hazard Area, a report by a qualified geotechnical
engineer must be submitted addressing all applicable requirements of ECDC 23.40 and 23.80.
In particular, the geotechnical engineer must address the proposed garage’s compliance with
the specific requirements related to alterations and design standards applicable to
development within a Landslide Hazard Area and/or its buffer, which are contained within
ECDC 20.80.070.A.2 and A.3.
Please submit three copies of the above requested reportto a Development Services Permit
Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:00 am and
4:30 pm, and Wednesdays between 8:00 am and noon.
If you have any questions, feel freeto contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department -Planning Division
