FALCON RIDGE HOMES NEW SFR AT 8008 – 240 ST SW
Dear Mr. Munson:
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:
Site Plan:
1.Please show the 20’ utility easement running along the northern portion of the property.
2.Lot Coverage:
Since stairs and decks that are more than 3 feet over original grade are considered to
be structures, the portion of the stairs on the south side of the residence that are more than 3 feet over
original grade as well as the upper floor deck must be included in the lot coverage calculations.
Additionally, all portions of the upper floor that project over the lower floor must also be included in
the lot coverage calculations. It is difficult to determine what was included in the lot coverage
quantity stated on your plans. Therefore, please provide a breakdown of the lot coverage
calculations on the site plan and show that the proposed lot coverage will be less than the maximum
allowed 35%.
Height Calculations:
3. Please make the following corrections to your height calculations:
a.The elevation for Point D of your height rectangle is stated as being 106.50’. Point D is
located between the 104’ and 106’ topography lines; therefore, it appears that the
elevation of this point should be between 104’ and 106’ instead of being over 106’.
Please correct the elevation shown for Point D and make all necessary updates to the
height calculations.
b.The proposed height of the residence is stated on the site plan as being 129.xx’. Please
update the site plan to reflect the actual proposed height.
SEPA:
4. Please submit a notarized form stating that the address labels submitted with the application
represent all addresses within 300 feet of the subject property. This form can be found in the
enclosed adjacent property owner list handout.
Geotechnical Report:
5. Since the subject property is located adjacent to a steep slope, a report by a
geotechnical engineer is required. Please have a qualified geotechnical engineer review the
proposed building plans and write a report that meets the requirements of ECDC 23.40 and 23.80.
Please submit three copies of the updated site plan (at least one copy must be reduced in size) and only two
copies of any affected sheets of the building plans. 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
Jen Machuga, Planner
