Before requesting the surveyor to modify the survey and grading plan, I have attached a revised architectural site and grading plan(scaled and large view not to scale), for your review, recommendations and approval before proceeding further. My thoughts. . . 1. We are proposing lowering the foundation 3'-4" and beginning the full basement starting point at the grade match(966.80) at the 2'-0" wall jog along the front wall. 2. The plan notation in the upper right corner of the ledger sheet attached explains the proposed termination of the 140'-0" of full basement which exceeds the 129.56' minimum(50% of the 259.12' of the total exterior perimeter). 3. With your review and recommendations, and a little fine-tuning, I believe we are close to achieving your grading requirements. 4. Upon grading/site plan consensus, we will design the retaining walls at the south east corner of the screen porch/storage below- and around the turn-around/guest parking location. 5. The foundation design will remain the same when lowered the proposed 3'-4" as our original proposal to add fill created the same foundation profiles and wall height profiles - also,the framed structure above the foundation and the brace wall plans will remain as designed and submitted for plan review. 6. Accordingly as we redesign the retaining walls and revise the site plan,would you please release the building plans for permit review while the surveyor completes his revisions? With colder weather approaching, we would like to excavate and install the foundation as soon as possible. 1
