RE:BLD20160902,19205 Olympic View Drive
Driveway Slope Exceeding 14%
Dear Mr.Guillen,
This letter is being sent in response to your request toexceed the maximum allowed
driveway slope of 14%, dated March 6, 2017.Review of the submitted letter and site
plan indicate that site constraints prevent you from obtaining a 14% driveway slope
without significantly altering the topology of the buildingsite.It is understood that
adjustments to the house and driveway have already been made in order to reduce the
driveway slope to 19%or belowfor theentire driveway.As natural slopes can exceed
35% onsite, additional excavation would be required and would significantly increase the
cost of the project. In addition, no issues were raised in the geotechnical report or in fire
review.
For these reasons, it is found reasonable to allow a maximum driveway slope of 19% for
thesite
If you have any questions regarding these requirements please feel free to contact me at
