RE: Plan Check BLD20170680
8820 218'' St. SW.
New Single Family Residence
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above building permit application. During
review of the subject submittal, it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications
need to be addressed. Please respond to the following items, so that I can complete my review:
Height Calculations: Pursuant to ECDC 21.40.030.A, height is measured from the average level of
the undisturbed soil of the site. For properties that have a subdivision, the contours that existed prior
to any site work is considered the undisturbed soils of the site. Additionally a datum point shall be
used to establish a starting mark to compute grade elevation of the designated four corners for the
building height calculations. The datum point must be a permanent point of reference, such as the top
of a manhole cover, fire hydrant, or street monument. On the site plan describe the datum point and
show its location and elevation.
There are inconsistences with the building height calculations between sheet 1 of 4 and sheet Al.
Sheet 1 of 4 shows the height of the roof at ridge as 123.47, however, sheet A 1 shows the height of
structure proposed at 123.50. Sheet 1 of 4 calls out the top of garage slab at 98.30 and sheet Al call
out the finish floor main at 100.80 and finish floor main on the site plan on sheet 1 of 4 calls out
98.80.
Please provide a datum point and correct any height inconsistencies on the plans.
2. Final plat submittal: The final plat must be submitted for staff review and will need to be recorded
prior to approval for a building permit on lot 2. A building permit had been submitted for lot 1 under
BLD20170007 addressed as 8822 218t' St. SW. Prior to building permit issuance for lot 2 please
submit for final plat review. Once final plat review has been completed the plat may then be recorded
and a building permit may then be issued for lot 2. (See attached Final Plat Review Information Sheet
- 4P730
3. Critical Areas Determination: A Critical areas checklist will need to be completed for lot 2 prior to
building permit issuance. Please submit the attached checklist following approval and recording of
the final plat.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 425.771.0220 ext. 1778.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
and Friday between 8:00 am 4:30 pm or Wednesday 8:30 am to 12:00 pm.
