RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR REVISION TO PLAN CHECK # 2006-0953
TH
DEISHER GARAGE AT 7025 – 174 STREET SOUTHWEST
Dear Mr. Deisher:
I have reviewed your resubmittal dated August 3, 2007 for your revision to the above building permit
application for the Planning Division and it was found that the following information, corrections, or
clarifications will need to be addressed before review can continue:
1.Height Calculations:
Please provide a statement from your surveyor explaining how the new
height calculations were conducted. The height calculations must be based on original grade. The
surveyor must either show that the height calculations shown on the approved building permit were
incorrect or that based on the datum point, the height of the garage is under the maximum allowed
height on the approved building permit.
Rockeries:
2. Please explain how the heights of your rockeries were determined. Rockeries are not
permitted to exceed 3 feet over original grade where they are located within the setbacks. It is
unclear whether the heights provided are over original grade or over the bottom of the rockeries.
The elevations of the rockeries over original grade are necessary to determine if the rockeries
comply with the requirement to be less than 3 feet over original grade where located within the
setbacks.
Fences:
3. It was noted that two fences were added to your submittal. Please respond to the following
comments regarding the fences:
a.Fence A is stated as being 7.5 feet high. Per ECDC 17.30.000.C, “Unless a variance is
first obtained, no fence shall be more than six feet in height as measured from the top of
the fence to the lowest original grade.” Please reduce the height of this fence down to 6
feet in height over original grade.
b.Fence B is stated as being “no greater than 5.5 feet above finished grade.” Per ECDC
17.30.000.C, “Unless a variance is first obtained, no fence shall be more than six feet in
height as measured from the top of the fence to the lowest original grade.” Since the
fence is located on top of the landscaped area supported by the rockery, it appears that the
fence would be more than 6 feet over original grade. Therefore, please provide evidence
that the fence is less than 6 feet in height over the original grade, or cut down the height
of the fence so that it complies with the City’s code requirements.
Please redline plans or submit three copies of your revised site plan with a written response to each of the
above items. Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator Monday through
Friday, 9:00 am to noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
Machuga@ci.edmonds.wa.us.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
