RE: PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS FOR PLAN CHECK #BLD20161041
ADDITION/REMODELAT8524BOWDOINWAY
Dear Mr. Farnsworth:
I have reviewed the above building permit application for the Planning Division, and it was found that the
following information, corrections, or clarifications need to be addressed before review can continue:
1.
Site Plan:
Correct address.
Height Calcs: GIS contours indicate a slight northeast-facing slope on site. Height
calculations indicate the site is completely flat. Please verify this is accurate to avoid
potential costly issues later in the process.
Height Rectangle: Site plan either (1) does not indicate the height rectangle used to
determine average height or (2) the height rectangle is drawn incorrectly. Please review
the following code and label plans accordingly.
21.40.030 Height.
A. Height means the average vertical distance from the average level of the undisturbed soil of the
site covered by a structure to the highest point of the structure.
B. “Average level” shall be determined by averaging elevations of the downward projections of the
four corners of the smallest rectangle which will enclose all of the building, excluding a maximum of
30 inches of eaves. If a corner falls off the site, its elevation shall be the average elevation of the two
points projected downward where the two sides of the rectangle cross the property line.
“Actual” height listed on site plan is not consistent with elevations provided. Please
correct.
Building Orientation: Site plan inaccurately shows the building orientation on the
property. The building is shown as parallel to side lot lines, but is actually skewed.
Please correct and recalculate side setbacks.
r
Lot Coverage: Calculations do not appear to be accurate. Please review the following
code and revise calculations accordingly. Please indicate if there are any covered decks
and label on site plan.
21.15.110 Coverage.
Coverage means 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 two and one-half feet in from the
outside edge of a cantilevered roof, whichever covers the greatest area.
Please Note: Additional comments from the Building Division and Engineering Division may
require additional changes to the site plan and landscape plan beyond those discussed above. A
revised site plan and landscape plan addressing the above cited issues should be completed once
you have received comments from the other reviewing divisions.
Please submit three copies of your revised site plan (including one reduced copy) and two copies of any
revised building plan sheets to a Development Services Permit Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:00 am 4:30 pm, and Wednesdays 8:30 am to noon.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me at (425)771-0220 ext. 1367 or brad.shipley@edmondswa.gov.
Sincerely,
Development Services Department – Planning Division
