Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have been disapproved
for the purposes of obtaining a building permit. During a review of the plans by the Building
Division for compliance with the applicable building codes, it was found that the following
information, clarifications, or changes are needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning,
Engineering, or Fire, may result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of
this letter.
A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents, including a
written response in itemized letter format indicating where the ‘clouded’ or otherwise
highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit
Coordinator.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2nd Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
This building plan review cannot be completed until we receive the following item:
Driveway plans:
During the review of the information provided March 12th 2019, which included a Geotechnical
Plan Review Letter prepared by NGA. Page two of the letter states that portions of the driveway
will be supported by Ultra block walls from 8-10’ in height. The report specifically states, “Walls
greater than four feet in height should be numerically analyzed for stability”.
Please provide two sets of plans and calculations that identify where the proposed walls exceeding
four feet in height will be located and how the wall will be constructed. The provided plans must
prepared and sealed by a Washington State licensed Geotechnical Engineer.
The submitted materials, dated May 10th 2019 include a design for retaining walls up to 7.5 feet in
height but the accompanied Geotechnical report prepared by NGA has not been updated to reflect
new wall designs. Please provide updated geotech reports to reflect new wall design criteria. To

2. RECONCILED It appears that the window adjacent to the entry door is within a
“hazardous location” and will need to be “safety glazed”. Please indicate on the plans.
3. RECONCILED The note for the cooktop indicates that it is to be vented to outside but
does not appear to indicate the minimum CFM. Please indicate the CFM on the plans.
D1:
4. RECONCILED The lower floor foundation indicates that “retaining walls” will be part
of the construction. Details 5 and 6 on page describe the construction of the walls, but it
does not appear that calculations to confirm the design were provided as part of the
submittal. Please provide documentation on the retaining wall design in accordance with
the geotechnical report mentioned in item one of the correction letter.
Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
