GENERAL
1. There is an existing access easement provided for this property. Please provide the
reasoning for preferring to access Lot 2 from 91h Ave. Are there challenges with the

sidewalks are required as a condition of short plat approval.
a. Sidewalks are required on 9th Ave but only on one side of the road. Since the
existing sidewalks are on the west side of 9th Ave at this location, no additional
sidewalk is required.
b. Puget Drive is an arterial and per the Comprehensive plan Street Tree Plan shall
have street trees. The Puget Dr frontage shall have 4 ft wide landscape strip with
street trees and a 5 ft sidewalk. The street trees shall be installed at 40 ft on center.
Please resubmit plans showing the proposed sidewalk and landscape strip with
dimensions. Indicate the location of the street trees.
c. The curb ramp will not need to be replaced unless it is damaged. If it is damaged,
it will need to be replaced to today's WSDOT standards.

UTILITIES
1. Provide approximate invert elevations for side sewer at house, property line and new
connection to main to show feasibility. Call out length and size of all pipe to verify slopes.
2. Show location of existing utility connections to existing condo building.
3. If a fire sprinkler system is required for the proposed single-family residence, the water
service to the property will need to be larger than what's proposed. Typically a 1" meter
and 1 1/2" water service line provides sufficient flow. While the water meter will not be
issued with the subdivision, the water tap will be installed by City crew. A note
indicating a 1" meter will be sufficient to notify the water division of the size of tap
needed. Revise plans accordingly.
