My sincere apologies. From: Christine Mattson Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2015 1:24 PM To: 'Gustafson, Sven' Cc: 'eric.j.mercer@vs.pwc.com'; Melanie Curtis; Lyle Oman Subject: 2490 Carman Street/ #2014-01488 Sven, The application submitted for Carman Street was addressed of 2470 Carman Street; however the actual address for the newly created lot is 2490 Carman Street(PID 20-117-23-12-0065). Please update your records. After a cursory review of the building permit application: • Based on a FFE of 944.85' the lowest level of the home does not meet the definition of a basement. The third story is not a half story therefore the house is defined as a three-storey house. Please have the surveyor show the 938.85'contour(944.85' less 6 feet=938.85') on the survey. easement means that portion of a building that is partly or completely below the existing ground level.A basement shall be considered as a story for purposes of determining the number of stories in a building, when the finished surface of the floor above the basement is more than six feet above the existing ground level for more than 50 percent of the basement's perimefer. The perimeter of the basement does not include portions of the house or garage that do not have a lower level but are merely "unexcavated".Artificially raising the grade adjacent to the foundarion of a structure(by filling or by a combination of filling and retaining wallsJ above the surrounding natural terrain shall not be allowed as a method for converting a defined story to a defined basement, regardless of any other benefits to the property of such action. Finished grade that increases more than one foot from existing ground level shall be considered as artificially raising the grade. However, artificially raising the grade when such action merely restores a previously excavated site to its original natural grade may used as a method for converting a defined story to a defined basement. • The resolution needs to be signed by the Mercers. They will both need to come into the office with a valid form of identification to have their signatures notarized. • Enclosed is an updated escrow agreement. Our records indicate the variance escrow for#14-3676 was paid by Stonewood, LLC. Please have the property owners sign the updated escrow agreement and note that the escrow money is refunded to the property owner of record at the time of escrow refund request. �
