RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS #2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2013-0678
ADDITION AT 10406 231sT STREET SW
Dear Mr. Carter,
I have again 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 and through the submittal of updated plans:
1. Geotech report: ADDRESSED Because the proposed addition will be within 65' of the
steep slope to the west (50' buffer + 15' building setback), please have a geotechnical
engineer prepare a report pursuant to Sections 23.40.090 and 23.80.050 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) describing how the project complies
with critical area code requirements for development within geologically hazardous
areas. Specifically, the geotech must address the buffer reduction anticipated by the
project in compliance with the development standards in ECDC 23.80.060 and
23.80.070.
Elevations: NOT ADDRESSED On the elevation drawing (Sheet 2), show the lines of
average original grade, maximum allowed height, and proposed height of the
addition.
3. Height calculations: Verify the height calculations shown on the site plan relative to
the associated survey and include the cantilever portion on the east side of the house
in the height rectangle. Any changes to the height rectangle and resulting calculation
must be shown on the site plan and the resulting lines of elevation must be shown on
Sheet 2 as indicated above in Comment #2.
4. Site plan: Update the site plan to accurately reflect the information shown on the
associated survey dated August 12, 2013. This includes showing the existing shed and
more accurate setbacks to the proposed addition, particularly from the western
property line. Also, show the top of slope and the proposed buffer and setback lines
identified by GEO Group Northwest in their report dated August 26, 2013.
All referenced code sections are available at the following website:
http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmondsnt.htmi.
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 am to 12
pm only on Wednesdays).
If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
al
