RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2016-0902
NEW SFR AT 19205 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE
Dear Mr. Stanton,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, the following information needs to be clarified in a written response and
through submittal of updated plans:
Oeotechnical report: The April 11, 2016 geotechnical report from HWA indicates that
there are no potential erosion or landslide hazard areas on or near the site (page 5).
The critical area determination issued on July 7, 2016 identifies the possibility of both.
Please update the geotechnical report in accordance with ECDC 23.40.090 and ECDC
23.80.050 and specifically address the requirements in ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070.
2. Topography: Verify that the topography lines shown on Sheets C0.1, C2.1 and C3.1
are the original grades that existed prior to the grading activity undertaken in 2010
(BLD20090793).
3. .Structural lot coverage: According to 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." Update
Sheet C0.1 as appropriate with a breakout of each structural element (house, deck)
and include a total coverage as percentage of the lot area.
4. Height calculations: The entire impervious deck west of the garage over the driveway
must be included in the height calculations. On Sheet C0.1, please move height
corners A & D accordingly and rework the height calculations. Show the updated
height calcs on Sheet 1 of the building plans.
5. Rock wall and retaining walls in setbacks: On Sheet C0.1, it appears that portions of
the retaining wall north of the proposed driveway would be greater than 3' tall above
original grade within the required 25' street setback area. Please verify that the top of
all portions of the rock and retaining walls located within required setbacks are no
more than 3' above original grade; include spot elevations at 10' intervals along the
walls.
All referenced code sections are available here:

Please submit two copies of the updated site plan 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 (8:30 am to 12:00 pm only on Wednesdays). If you have any questions,
please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
