RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2008-0123
NEW SFR AT 19018 SOUNDVIEW PLACE
Dear Mr. Jeffris:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before
I can sign off on the permit, however, the following information needs to be clarified:
1. Site Plan: The scale on the site plan is incorrect. Please submit three correctly
scaled site plans (one reduced size). In addition, the site plan indicates the
setback on Water Street to be 8’. According to your letter in support of using the
Average Front Setback, the setback on Water Street is proposed to be 8’ 6”.
Please change the distance on the site plan to match average front setback
proposal.
Also, it appears that the southeastern corner of the garage is projecting slightly
into the setback along Soundview Place. This may simply be due to an error in
reproduction; however, please confirm and ensure that the garage and all
proposed structures meet the required setbacks.
2. Height Calculation: Because Points B & D of the height rectangle fall outside
of the parcel boundary, their elevations must be recalculated as the average
elevation of the two points where the rectangle crosses the property line. As a
result of these changes, please verify the height calculations on the site plan and
elevation drawings and correct as necessary.
In addition, Points C & D must be moved slightly to the west by approximately
5’ to include the entirety of the deck at the southwestern corner of the house.
3. Lot Area: The Snohomish County Assessor’s information indicates that the lot
area is 0.52 acres or approximately 22,650 square feet. The area listed on the
site plan is 18,175 square feet. Please verify and correct as necessary.
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 on
Wednesdays when we are closed for permit review. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
