RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-0927
TH
MARCHIS ADULT FAMILY HOME AT 1418 – 9 AVENUE NORTH
Dear Mr. Holland:
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:
Ramp:
1. Your floor plans show that a new exterior ramp is proposed and your building
elevations show a ramp on both the front and rear elevations. Please explain how many ramps
are proposed and show their locations on the elevations and floor plans. Additionally, please
show the footprint(s) of the proposed ramp(s) on the site plan and provide setback distances
from all property lines to the ramp(s). Please note that per Interpretation File No. 94-1,
uncovered and unenclosed ramps that are not more than 30 inches above the finished grade may
protrude into the required setback not more than one-third of the required setback or four feet,
whichever is less.
Second Kitchen:
2.A second kitchen is proposed with the lower floor remodel. Since the
residence is proposed to contain a second kitchen, a covenant must be recorded at the County
stating that you are aware that an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit must be approved
separately from this building permit application if you intend for the lower floor to act as a
separate dwelling unit apart from the main residence. Even if you do not intend for the lower
floor to act as an ADU, the purpose of getting this statement recorded is to protect any future
owners from thinking that the residence contains an approved ADU. I am enclosing the City’s
ADU handout as well as the covenant that must be recorded at the County. Please have the
property owner(s) review and sign these materials. Note that signatures must be notarized and
signed in black ink. Also note that due to the County’s restrictions on margins, the covenant
must be printed on legal sized paper and cannot have writing located within the margins. You
may either get the covenant recorded at the County on your own for $40, or you may turn it in
to the City to record it at the County for you for $55 (the County’s $40 recording fee plus a $15
City surcharge fee). If you are interested in applying for an ADU permit, you are welcome to
contact me on application procedures.
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, excluding Wednesdays between 8:00 am and
4:30 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
