Staff conducted a preliminary review based on the information provided and requests 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. A survey was submitted with the application however after our engineer has reviewed the survey he has the following comments: a. The plan depicts two driveway accesses. City Code allows only one. b. Per the development grading plan there should be a swale on the northwest corner of the property. c. Per the development grading plan there should be a 15 foot wide septic access easement running along the northwest side of the property. d. Septic areas are shown, but should be labeled as primary and alternate. e. Show septic tank locations. f. Show well location. g. First Floor elevation must be shown. h. Top of foundation elevation is indicated. Please indicate on the survey where this etevation is on the perimeter of the foundation. Please provide two copies of an updated, full size certificate of survey which meets all of the City's survey standards(copy attached). 2. Half-Story. The upper level of the home currently does not meet the City's definition of half-story. Half story means the uppermost floor of a building in which(iJ the intersection of ihe exterior wall and the roof is not more than three feet above the floor elevation, and(ii)not more than 60 percent of the floor area within the exterior walls of the uppermost floor exceeds five feet in height as measured from the f/oor to the rafters. Floors exceeding these parameters shall be deemed a full story. We offer the following in order to meet City requirements: a. Lower the house 4'(the lowest level would be considered a basement and not a story) b. Lower the house 3'and excavate under the garage(the lowest level would be considered a basement and not a story) c. Drop or adjust the roofline to meet the half-story requirement (so the house meets the half-story definition) d. Flip the house, moving the garage to the opposite side. 3. Landscape Plan. Prior to the issuance of the building permit a landscape plan must be submitted showing all the proposed exterior/landscaping improvements,i.e.patios,grading,sidewalks,retaining walls,etc. The plan should include the name of the individual performing the work. The landscape plan should match what is shown on the survey.
