Please provide two copies of an updated, full size certificate of survey which meets all of the City's survey standards (enclosed)and addressing the comments below. a. According to our survey requirements, contours must be shown extending 50' past the property boundaries. Please revise survey. b. The survey is showing a 4' sanitary sewer line. Please indicate whether the sewer line has been constructed or is depicting the proposed. If existing, please provide the as-built plan showing the sewer location. c. The building plans show proposed features, retaining walls, etc. that are not shown on the survey. The plans and survey should match. Please modify. d.

The Contractor must provide a minimum 24 hour notice prior to inspection. e. The road, Oliver Hill, has not been approved for construction on Individual lots. Please note we will not issue building permits until the road has passed our engineer's inspection and a wear course is down. 2. Building Height. The building plans reflect a house with a defined height of 31.25'. The plans cannot be approved as submitted. Please modify the building height to be 30 feet or less. Submit two (2) copies of updated buildings plans for our review. The city's definition of building height 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. City Code states residential structures may not exceed 2 34 stories and may not exceed 30 feet in height.
