RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK #BLD20161 106
NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 17905 VISTA DEL MAR DR.
Dear Mr. McNurlen:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division, and it was found
that the following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed before review can
continue:
1. Height Calcs:
❑ Points B and C should be added together then divided by two before being
averaged with other points. Same for points E and F. Please correct calculations.
21.40.030 Height.
B. `Average level" shall be determined by averaging elevations of the downward projections of the four
corners of the smallest rectangle which will enclose all of the building, excluding a maximum of 30 inches
Of eaves. If a corner falls off the site, its elevation shall be the average elevation of the twopointsprjected
downward where the two sides of the rectangle cross the property line. (See subsection (D) of this section
for exceptions to this rule.)
2. Setbacks:
❑ Please indicate setback distances from the property line to the nearest portion of
the building.
3. Elevations:
❑ Include actual ridge height on elevation drawings.
4. Site Plan:
❑ Elevations B and E appear to show covered porches. If this is the case, please
indicate on site plan the area that is covered and include in lot coverage
calculations.
❑ Show stairs from elevations F and H on site plan. Uncovered and
unenclosed porches, steps, patios, and decks may project into a required setback
not more than one-third of the required setback, or four feet, whichever is less;
provided that they are no more than 30 inches above ground level at any point.
5. Geotcch Study Retr d'.:
❑ Critical areas are present on-site (CRA20160097). Please submit a geotechnical
report that addresses the following:
Include a discussion of all geologically hazardous areas on the site and
any geologically hazardous areas off site potentially impacted by the
proposed project. If the affected area extends beyond the subject property,
the geology hazard assessment may utilize existing data sources
pertaining to that area;
Clearly state that the proposed project will not decrease slope stability or
pose an unreasonable threat to persons or property either on or off site and
provide a rationale as to those conclusions based on geologic conditions
and interpretations specific to the project;
If a landslide or erosion hazard is identified, provide minimum setback
recommendations for avoiding the landslide or erosion hazard, other
recommendations for site development so that the frequency or
magnitude of landsliding or erosion on or off the site is not altered, and
recommendations consistent with ECDC 23.80.060 and 23.80.070.
Please NoteAdditional comments from the Building Division andEn ine ring Division.
