RE:REVISED PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-1216
SAFFOLD NEW RESIDENCE AT 8008 TALBOT ROAD
Dear Mr. Johnson:
In response to recent correspondence between the property owner and City staff regarding the proposed
residence, I am revising the plan review comments I sent you on January 30, 2008. The following will need to
be addressed before review by the Planning Division can continue:
Site Plan:
1.It was noted that the upper floor projects over the main floor by approximately one foot on
the northwestern side of the house. It is unclear if this is shown on the site plan. Therefore, Please
show and label the outline of the portion of the upper floor that projects over the main floor on all
copies of the site plan.
Datum Point:
2.Please show and label the datum point used for your height calculations on all copies
of your site plan.
Height Calculations:
3.Per ECDC 21.40.030.B, the height rectangle used for your height calculations
shall be the smallest rectangle that will enclose all of the building, excluding a maximum of 30 inches
of eaves. It appears that the height rectangle used for your height calculations included some of the
eaves. Additionally, it is unclear of the height rectangle includes the portion of the upper floor that
cantilevers over the main floor on the northwestern side of the house. Therefore, please update your
height rectangle to include the outermost walls of the residence, but exclude up to 30 inches of eaves.
Additionally, please update the elevations of the four corners of the height rectangle, and update the
height calculations shown on the site plan and building elevations accordingly.
Fence:
4.Your site plan shows a 6’ cedar fence. Please label this fence as existing or proposed.
SEPA Review:
5.The Engineering Division’s review of your proposal estimated the grading to be 490
cubic yards. Note that if grading exceeds 500 cubic yards, SEPA review will be required. Please
contact the Planning Division for SEPA review procedures if you find that you will be exceeding 500
cubic yards of grading.
“Future Wet Bar”:
6.Sheet A4 of your building plans indicate a “future wet bar” within the proposed
recreation room. Do you plan to stub the plumbing to this area with the subject application? If so,
please indicate this on your plans. If not, please remove the “future wet bar” from your plans since it
is not a part of this application. Please note that a separate building permit will be necessary if you
plan to add the wet bar in the future. Additionally, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) covenant may
be required when you propose to add the wet bar to ensure that the lower floor will not be used as an
ADU without the appropriate land use approvals.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday through Friday between
8:00 am and 4:30 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (425) 771-0220, ext. 1224.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
