RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS #2 FOR PLAN CHECK # 2015-1267
NEW SFR AT 1024 BELL STREET
Dear Mr. Gaenz,
I have again reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division. Before I
can sign off on the permit, the following information needs to be clarified in a written response
and through submittal of updated plans. New comments are in bold:
1. Average Front Setback: Addressed. Planning cannot approve this building permit as
shown until the average front setback determination in STF20150034 is paid for and
issued. The fee for the determination is $225. Contact the receptionist to pay the fee
either by check or credit card.
2. Height: Unaddressed. Please copy the average elevation, maximum building height,
and proposed height values from the Site Plan to Sheet A7.1 and add and label lines
similar to the floor heights already shown on that plan sheet. Also, on the Site Plan,
please relabel the height corners as either A -D or E -H and update the Building Height
Calculation lettering as appropriate. Please label the calculated lines of average
original grade and maximum allowed height as well as proposed height on Sheet A7.1.
3. Concrete entry -porch: The concrete porch shown on the Site Plan and Sheet A5.0
appears to be exceed the maximum allowed 4' encroachment into the averaged
front setback per ECDC 16.20.040.C. Please verify that the porch encroaches only
the maximum Wallowed.
4. Geotech peer review: Landau Associates provided a peer review of the original plan
submittal (see attached). Have Earth Solutions NW specifically respond to the factor
of safety finding and the related requests for compliance with ECDC 23.80 at the top
of page 3 in the Review of Reports section.
All referenced code sections are available here:

the building plans. Please make all submittals to a Permit Coordinator, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (8:30 am to 12:00 pm Wednesdays). If you have any questions,
please contact me at (425) 771-0220.
