The following information still needs to be clarified: 1. Please change the street (front) setback listed on the site plan’s legend Street Setback: to 25’ rather than 20’. 2. The entirety of the existing porch on the west facade must be Height Calculation: included in the height rectangle. Please move Points A and D (the northwest and southwest corners) of the inscribed height rectangle approximately 10’ to the west. Please make any changes necessary to the resulting height calculations on the site plan and elevations, as applicable. 3.Please confirm the quantities of grading being performed. If the total SEPA Review: amount of cut or fill is proposed to exceed 500 cubic yards, SEPA review will be required and an environmental checklist and the associated fee must be submitted. 4. The Upper Floor Plan (Sheet 3) shows an area Accessory Dwelling Unit Statement: in the proposed Games Room that appears to be roughed in for possible bathroom and kitchen facilities. As a result, since the addition could potentially be used as separate living facilities from the primary single-family dwelling, a statement must be recorded at the County indicating that the current homeowner is aware that an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit would be needed to allow that use. Even if the area is not intended to serve as an ADU today, recording the statement also informs future owners of the property about the need to obtain an ADU permit if that use is ever desired for the space. Attached is the City’s ADU statement that must be recorded at the County. Please have the property owner review and sign the statement. Note that signatures must be notarized and signed in black ink. Also note that due to the County’s restrictions on margins, the statement must be printed on legal sized paper with a 3” top margin and 1” side and bottom margins. You may either record the statement at the County on your own for $42, or you may submit it to the City to record for you for $57 (the County’s $42 recording fee plus a $15 City surcharge). 5.Extensive retaining walls have been added since the original Retaining Walls: submission in August 2007. According to ECDC 21.90.150, structures such as retaining walls are not permitted to exceed 3 feet over where they are original grade located within the setbacks. It appears that portions of the wall (Detail 11/13) along the southern boundary will exceed the height requirement; for example, Top El. is listed as 126.0’ where the topography lines indicate an elevation of approximately 121.5’. Please revise the site plan indicating how the southern retaining wall will meet code requirements. Please submit three copies of your updated site plan (one reduced size) and two sets of any updated pages of the building plans.Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, except Wednesday when we are closed for permit review. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 771-0220. Sincerely, Mike Clugston, AICP Planner
