RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK # 2009-0419
TH
LYNCH ROOF DECK AND STAIRS AT 8934 – 179 PL SW
Dear Mr. Lam:
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:
Site Plan
1.: Please make the following corrections to your site plan:
th
a.The north arrow should be corrected to point towards 179 Pl. SW.
b.Indicate topography lines at two-foot intervals.
Setbacks
2.: Please indicate the distances from the proposed deck and stairs to both the eastern and western
property lines on your site plan to ensure compliance with setback requirements.
Height Calculations:
3.Please make the following corrections to your height calculations:
a.Since the existing balcony and deck are uncovered, they should not be included within the height
rectangle. Therefore, please shift the northern boundary of your height rectangle to be in line with the
northernmost point of the projecting window at the northwestern corner of the residence. Additionally,
please shift the southern boundary of the height rectangle to be in line with the southern wall of the
residence. The rectangle may exclude up to 30 inches of eaves.
b.The elevations of Points A through D must be updated to reflect the corrected location of the height
rectangle. Additionally, please update the average grade and maximum allowed height accordingly.
When calculating the average grade and maximum allowed height, please note that the numbers cannot
be rounded up.
c.The elevations for the average grade, maximum allowed height, and proposed height shown on your
building elevations do not match those shown on your site plan. Therefore, when you update these
figures based on the corrected height rectangle location, please be sure to update them on the site plan as
well as the building elevations.
Lot Coverage:
4.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. Please provide a breakdown of the lot coverage
calculations on the site plan, including the footprint of the existing residence, garage, decks, and any other
existing structures, as well as the footprint of the proposed stairs. The maximum allowed lot coverage for the
RS-20 zone is 35% of the net lot area. Therefore, in addition to providing a breakdown of the total lot
coverage on the site plan, please also provide the coverage as a percentage of the net lot area.
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
