Staff conducted a preliminary review based on the information provided and recommends the following items be submitted or revised in order for your application to be considered complete and for the plan review to continue: 1. Certificate of Survey. The City Engineer has reviewed the survey and made the following comments. Please provide two copies of an updated, full size certificate of survey which meets all of the City's survey standards (enclosed)addressing the comments below. a. The proposed driveway width at the road is 26 feet. The maximum allowed driveway width is 20 feet. Please adjust to the 20 feet. b. The proposed well location is not shown on the survey. c. Verify the delineated edge of the wetland is in accordance with approved wetland delineation. Please annotate the company who performed the delineation and approval date. d. The top of foundation elevation is referenced on the survey. Please indicate on the foundation where this measurement is corresponding to. 2. Building Height. During my review of the building height, it appears the house measures 38.05 feet where 30 feet is permitted. Even if we adjust our calculation to ignore the highest window;the height measurement is 33.00 feet. Please modify the plans to meet the City's building height requirement. Attached is our information sheet on Building Height. According to Definitions City Code 78-1. euildinp heiqht means the vertical distance between the highest adjoining ground level at the building or ten feet above the lowest ground level, whichever is lower, and the top of the cornice of a flat roof, or the deck line of a mansard roof,or the uppermost point on a round or other arch-type roof, or the median height of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof. Topographic changes which elevate the adjoining ground level above the existing terrain shall not be considered in determining building height. For a pitched or hipped roof situation, regardless whether the highest living space in a building is a half-story or full story, if the highest living space contains windows (excluding skylights) the upper measuring point for defining building height shall be the median height of the top of the highest window and the highest peak of the roof. 3. Escrow & Escrow Agreement. Permits involving grading and/or review by the City's engineer require submittal of an escrow and an escrow agreement. The purpose of the escrow is to guarantee reimbursement to the City for out-of-pocket costs incurred during the review of your plans. Additionally this escrow will guarantee conformance with City Code Chapter 79 relating to erosion control and stormwater. The required escrow amount for this project is $2,500. A signed escrow agreement was submitted. We acknowledge receipt of$2,500 from NIH Homes for the escrow, but be aware per the Cit�s Policy the escrow money will be refunded to the property owner of record at the time of release.
