RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2007-1235
MALOTT DECK REPLACEMENT/EXPANSION AT 1130 SIERRA PLACE
Dear Applicant:
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:
Variance:
1.Under the variance application (File No. V-2006-150) for the expansion of the
existing deck, the Hearing Examiner approved a variance to reduce a portion of the rear
yard setback from 25’ to 10’2” to extend the existing deck 9’ to the east. Therefore, please
indicate on the site plan that the proposed expansion will be a minimum of 10’2” from the
southern property line. Additionally, the plans show the expansion as extending 10’ to the
east of the existing deck; however, the variance approval was limited to a 9’ expansion.
Therefore, please indicate on the site plan that the deck will only be extended 9’ to the east
of the existing deck.
Lot Coverage:
2.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 30 inches in from the outside edge of the eaves, whichever covers the greatest
area. Since decks that exceed 3 feet in height over original grade are considered to be
structures, they must also be included in the lot coverage calculations. The “total building
lot coverage” is stated on your site plan as being 2,662 square feet; however, it is unclear if
this includes the area of the existing and additional deck. Therefore, please provide a
breakdown of your lot coverage calculations on your site plan, including the area of the
footprint of the existing residence, the existing garage, the existing deck, the proposed deck
expansion, and any other structures on the site.
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
