RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0021
TH
WEISS GARAGE ADDITION AT 23700 – 77 AVENUE WEST
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Weiss:
I have reviewed 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:
Rear Setback:
1. Please provide the distance from the southwest corner of the proposed
garage to the western property line. Note that the garage must be at least 15 feet from
the western property line.
Lot Coverage:
2. There appears to be an error with the lot coverage quantities shown on
the site plan. The total lot area is stated as being .25 acre, while the lot coverage is
stated as being .22 acre. This would be equivalent to 88% lot coverage, which is well
above the maximum permitted coverage. Lot coverage is defined as “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.” Please confirm the
total lot area of the site and provide a breakdown of the lot coverage, including the area
of the current residence, the area of the proposed garage, and the area of any other
structures (such as sheds, covered decks, or uncovered decks over 3 feet in height) on
the site. Note that the total lot coverage may not exceed 35%.
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 (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224. I look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
