number , which is a “Type II” permit.
I am the Planner assigned to your project.Ihave reviewed the application materials that you submitted
onApril 29, 2013 (paid in full on July 19, 2013)and have determined that your applicationis

Please respond to the following commentsin writing at your earliest convenienceso that I may
continue to process your application.Your application is “on hold” until I hear from youin writing
regarding these items.
1.Lot coverage.
Please include the proposed new lot coverage for Lot 1. The new lot coverage for
Lot 1 cannot exceed 35%.The footprint of the existing house (to remain) is shown to be 1370 square
feet. Will the existing garage remain? If so, I’ll need the footprint area. Lot coverage is one of the
items I must verify prior to granting preliminary approval. Coverage is defined in ECDC 21.15.110:
“Coverage means the total ground coverage of all buildings or structures on a site measured from
the outside of external walls or supporting members or from a point two and one-half feet in from the
outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area.”
2.Trees.
Please indicate which trees will need to be removed with the short plat improvements and
which trees will remain and will need to be protected. The City’s Comprehensive Plan and tree
cutting code discourage tree removal it is a necessity (like, if the roots will be damaged due to the
location of the new improvements). Please elaborate on any proposed tree removal. If you happento
already have an arborist’s report, that is always helpful to submit, because it is often information that
neighbors ask us about.
