During re -review of the above noted application, it was found that the following information,
corrections, or clarifications are needed. Please redline plans or submit two (2) sets of revised
plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the items below to a
Permit Coordinator.

5) A new deck section was added to the plan during this last review at the corner. This framing
is shown over the existing rockery. Geotechnical Engineer of Record to address post shown
sitting on rockery as well as additional pasts near rockery. Also show location of new deck
section on the site plan. Specify how proposed deck will be supported (i.e. hanging off deck
#I?). Provide complete framing plans for deck 1 to verify how the two decks tie into each other.
Also if deck 42 is connected as part of deck 1 we also need the framing for that deck. Our
exempt handout says if any portion of a deck is over 30" then a permit is required so if they are
all connected then a permit is required for the whole deck.

7) Still need. No response given. Geotechnical Engineer of Record must address this item. Per
Geotech Report submitted with original house (By Dennis Bruce, PE dated April 28E'', 2004)
isolated footings shall be a minimum of 24". Revise plans to 24" x 24" or provide supplemental
geotechnical report by a Washington State Licensed Geotechnical Engineer.
8) Still need for all deck footings not designed by the Geotechnical Engineer of Record with
piles. Deck blocks do not meet conventional construction. Provide poured concrete footings or
calculations stamped and signed by a Washington State Licensed Professional Engineer.
9) New based off resubmitted plans. Geotechnical Engineer of Record shows piles being driven
between the existing pasts/footings. Please clarify if the existing footings are to remain to
reduce soil disturbance. Specify past size and positive connection from post to footing at pile
locations. Also, Geotechnical Engineer of Record must specify size of footing required to
accommodate pile cap and spider rebar.
10) New based off resubmitted plans. Special inspections are required for the following.
Complete the enclosed special inspection agreement signed by the owner, the general
