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.
1) 12/5/06 Datum shown 77' away from property will still be too difficult far the building
inspector to perform his height check. Please either choose datum point in road or cul-de-sac
in front of property or height inspection will need to be done by a Washington State Licensed
Surveyor hired by the owner. Specify a specific datum point close to the site that will not be
altered during construction for the Building Inspector to perform Height Inspection. NAVD 88 is
too far offsite for the inspector to verify height.
