RE: BLD20181498 — Mazda Service Center
Response to Review Comments (Engineering)
Dear JoAnne:
We have reviewed the engineering comments memorandum dated January 9, 2019. The civil plans
and reports have been revised accordingly to address the City's comments shown in the letter.
Additionally, the applicant has since submitted another building permit application for a building
remodel and associated site improvements to the existing Mazda Sales & Service building to convert
it to Hyundai Sales & Service. Permit review for both applications are being completed concurrently.
We are doing our best to coordinate site improvements with both applications as the design/review
process proceeds.
The City's comments have been copied below. Comment responses and a description of plan
updates has been added after each comment as applicable. Please review and verify that we have
adequately addressed each comment.
GENERAL
1. Please confirm on the King County Site Improvements Worksheet that all improvements in
the right of way are included in the correct column, for example, the hydrant and fire
connection work is in the right of way. As it is now, all water improvements are listed under
private improvements.
RESPONSE: Please note that the 76th frontage improvements have been captured in the Mazda
Sales project. The frontage improvements will be installed concurrently, so we do not anticipate
replacing curbs/sidewalks twice. We reviewed for items that should be in the "public" column
and found a few utility items such as water and storm, as well as associated pavement patching
etc. We also made another pass, for accuracy, at onsite items, for review. An updated bond
quantity worksheet is attached.
2. Please review Traffic Impact Handout E82. Complete the worksheet for the Change in Use
section noting the increase in square footage of the structure or provide an independent
calculation.

Response to Review Comments 2 February 18, 2019
RESPONSE: Traffic handout prepared by Gibson Traffic is attached with this resubmittal package.
The traffic memo references "Doug's Lynnwood Mazda Addition;" however, we have confirmed
this applies to the Service Center project as the added square footage and date the memo was
prepared implies.
3. Fire/Aid address sign required at 76th. Note on plans should require 2-23kk minimum notice
to PW Sign Shop at (425) 771-0235.
RESPONSE: A note has been added near the access gate from 76th. See sheet C1.01-2.
4. The Edmonds Community Development Code states that parking lots shall be paved. The city
engineer may allow gravel parking for temporary parking lots, or where parking is primarily
long term. Please show the lot as paved or provide information that supports the area as
being primarily long term.
RESPONSE: The gravel parking area is intended for inventory storage only. All required parking
stalls are paved and striped per City code. A note has been added to sheet C2.00-2 and C2.01-2
indicating "VEHICLE INVENTORY STORAGE AREA."
5. All parking lots shall have an approach that is a minimum of 20-foot paved. Show that this is
met *if the argument for keeping the lot gravel is approved.
RESPONSE: The gravel parking area is intended for inventory storage only. We assume parking
area requirements do not apply since public will not have vehicle access to this area. However,
there is a 30' wide entrance with blockout striping shown on the north side of the gravel storage
area for access, see sheet C201-2.
6. Add note: Utility patches with less than 20-feet of separation shall be combined and full
width or half width overlay will be required depending on the extent of disturbance. Where
utility patches fall entirely within one travel lane, the overlay shall extend to the center line
of roadway. Where utility patches extend into both travel lanes then a full width overlay is
required.
RESPONSE: Note added to sheet C2.01-2 and C3.00-2.
SANITARY SEWER
1. Please note that sewer cleanout shall have a 12" lamphole cover with %" hexbolts.
RESPONSE: Note for cleanout cover revised on sheet C3.00-2. Also, detail for smaller cover on
sheet C3.21-2 has been deleted.
2. Callout size of existing sewer.
Mazda Service Center
Response to Review Comments 3 February 18, 2019
RESPONSE: The existing side sewer size has been labeled on sheet C3.00-2.
If this is a new connection to this sewer line then the line must be TV'd to verify condition for
reuse. The lateral will also need to be TV'd by the city's Operations Division to verify
condition for its reuse. If either the existing private sewer line or lateral is not approved for
reuse, they will need to be replaced. Add these notes to the plans if this is s a new
connection otherwise note that the pipe is just being replaced.
RESPONSE: See added "Side Sewer Notes" on sheet C3.00-2.
We look forward to hearing a response to see if the engineering comments have been addressed.
We will do our best to coordinate, as needed, between the multiple permits and projects. Thanks in
advance.
Sincerely,
