RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR BUILDING PERMIT # BLD20161717
NEW SFR AT 9401 234T" ST SW
Dear Mr. Geers,
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I can
sign off on the permit, the following corrections need to be addressed in a cover letter and
through submittal of updated plans with changes called out:
1. Site Plan (Sheet AO)
a. North setback is shown at 15' rather than 7.5' for the flag lot which has all 7.5'
side setbacks in the RS-8 zone.
b. Height calculations. The 'average existing grade' is shown as 379.88' rather than
379.75' as it calculates. Similarly, the 'maximum ridge height' is shown as
404.88' as opposed to 404.75'. A height verification survey will be required
during construction as noted in Handout B41.
c. Show the block wall and all of the trees to be retained/removed as shown on the
civil plans.
d. Show the 'existing shed' to be removed.
2. Elevations (Sheet A7)
a. Front elevation. Update the height calculations for 'average existing grade' and
'maximum height' with the revised values from the Site Plan.
b. Right elevation. The proposed beam and 6x6 brace at the front porch project
into the required 7.5' setback. While a roof eave may project into the setback up
to 30" per ECDC 16.20.040.13, the beam and brace must be revised to be out of
the setback area since there no exceptions for those elements. Revise all sheets
where those elements are shown.
Codes, handouts, GIS maps and online permits are available here:

Please submit two copies of any updated plan sheets to a Permit Coordinator, Monday
through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (8:30 - 12:00 on Wednesdays). If you have any
questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
