Dear Mr. Schmitz:
I have reviewed the above building permit applicationfor the Planning Division,and it was found
that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressedbefore review
can continue:
SitePlan:
1.Please make the following revisions/corrections to your siteplan:
a.In order to avoid confusion over the various line styles indicated on the site plan, please
label the outlinesof the height rectangle,upper floor, and setbacks.
b.Since the subject property abuts a private access tractproviding access to less than five lots,
the access easement is not considered a street for setback purposes. As such, the subject
site is a flag lot which requires 7.5-foot side setbacks from all property lines. Please correct
the setback lines indicated on the site plan accordingly.
c.Indicate any proposed mechanical equipment on the siteplan, keeping in mind that
mechanical equipment (i.e. heat pumps, HVAC units, etc.) exceeding three feet in height
must comply with the minimum required setbacks for the site.
Height Calculations:
2.Please respond to the following comments regarding the height
calculations:
a.Label the magnail as the “Datum.”
b.When calculatingthe average original grade and maximum allowed height, the numbers
cannot be rounded up. Thus, based on the elevations of Points A through D provided on
the site plan, the average grade would be 96.71’and the maximum height would be
121.71’.
c.The elevations of the average grade and maximum building height indicated on the
building elevation views are not consistent with those indicated on the site plan. Please
correct any inconsistencies between the plan sheets.
d.Indicate the elevation of the proposed buildingheight on the building elevation views.
Shed:
3.Ashed is indicated at the southeastern corner of the site. If this shed is existing, please
indicate it as such.If proposed, the shed will need to comply with minimum setback
requirements and all other applicable site development standards. Please indicate on the site
plan whether the shed is existing or proposed, or if it is existing but to be removed. If the shed
is proposed or if it is existing and to be retained, the area of the shed must be included in the lot
coverage and impervious surface calculations.

Fence:
4.Aproposed six-foot fence is indicatedon the site plan.Since the property does not
contain any critical areas, a permit is only necessary for the fence if it exceeds 3’in height
within 10’of thevehicular access easement adjacent to thenorthern property line.Please
verify that the location and height of the fence is shown correctly on the site plan. If the fence
is proposed to exceed 3’in height within 10’of the northern property line, please provide the
proposed height and material of the fence. The Engineering Division will need to review the
proposed fence for any possible sight distance issues.
Please submit three copies of your revised site plan (including one reducedcopy) and two copies of
any revised building plan sheets to a Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm, and Wednesdays
between 8:00 am and noon.
If you have any questions, feel freeto contact me at (425) 771-0220.
