Reviewer Department
: Meg Gruwell: Planning
I have reviewed the above building permit application and the information submitted October 11, 2006,
for the Planning Division. Before I can sign off on it I still need the following:
1.Landscaping: Either on the site plan, or a separate landscape plan, please show how you meet the
requirement for landscaping around a free-standing sign. Note that the grass shown in the
photograph is not adequate. Since free-standing signs are discouraged, where they are used, we try to
beautify them by providing attractive groundcovers and shrubs around them. Some people try to put
seasonal annuals around them, but a less labor intensive choice might be to place native plants (such
as azaleas, kinnikinnick, or native strawberries) which do not require irrigation or as much care.
Please show:
a.The landscaped area required for free-standing signs, which must be twice the area of the sign, or
36 square feet. Please show the location of this landscaping and what plants (names, sizes,
spacing) will be installed.
2.Freestanding Sign Regulation: ECDC 20.60.045.A. states “Permanent freestanding signs are
discouraged. Freestanding signs shall be approved only where the applicant demonstrates by
substantial evidence that there are no reasonable and feasible alternative signage methods to provide
for adequate identification and/or advertisement.” Please provide that substantial evidence why you
need a freestanding sign.
If you have any questions, please call me at (425) 771-0220, extension 1330.
Please make all submittals to the Development Services Permit Coordinator, and provide two copies of
any revised plans or elevations and three copies of any site plans. Your existing plans and elevations may
also be red-lined.
Thank you.
