(1/8/07] Please submit a grading plan for the rear half of the lot. This is needed
due to the fact more than 350 sf of impervious area is being added. This can be
done on the site plan.
Response: The grading of the driveway slab is shown on the site plan as
sloping @ a 2% grade toward the alley. The north, west and south side
yards are level with less than 6 inch grade change over the area of
proposed work. Therefore, no grading contours are shown. Site grading
will be performed such that run off from the north, west and south sides of
the proposed structure will be contained on the site property and not
impact adjacent properties.

[1/9/07] Page,1 - Proposed Accessory Building calculations are incorrect. The
main floor of the building has to count towards the square footage and to be
considered accessible based on building code requirements must have a
minimum ceiling of 7'6". The main floor comprises 600 sq ft which is maximum
square footage for an accessory building with habitable space. The second floor
or half floor, ceiling height cannot exceed 7'5" in order not to be counted towards
the total square footage which again, cannot exceed 600 square feet total.
Response: The revised plan has eliminated the upper half story. The total
floor area is now 600 sq. ft.

[1/10/07] ACCESS: To be considered within fire department access, the front
door of the proposed structure is required to be no more than 150 feet (as a hose
would lay) from the Peterson Street curb. Because the building is out of access,
an approved, automatic fire -sprinkler system is required (NFPA 13R).
Response: Front door is 169 feet from the Peterson Street Curb. The north
side of the accessory building is within 150 feet of the Olive Street curb via
the rear alley. The structure is a garage with no dwelling space. This
structure is comparable in type and location to other structures on this
block and in this neighborhood with no sprinkler systems.

[1/10/07] ADDRESSING: The approved address for the proposed structure (226
B) shall be clearly mounted on the front side of the building, in minimum 6-inch
numerals/letters, with a color that contrasts with that of the structure siding.
Response: The proposed structure is a garage (accessory building) and
does not need a separate address.

[1191071 The FAR calculation is incorrect on the site plan. For the purposes of
calculating density, "total floor area" shall mean "the total grass floor area of the
ground floor of any accessory building larger than 120 sq. ft. plus that portion of
the floor area of any second story having a ceiling height of at least 7 1/2 feet
located within any such accessory building located on the lot." This definition
should also be used to calculate the FAR. Using this definition, 1 calculate a
FAR of .20 on the rear 50% of the lot, not .0777.
Response: The revised FAR calculation is provided on Sheet 1, below the
site plan. The upper half story has been removed from the proposed
design. Therefore, the gross floor area is 600 sq. ft., the rear half of the lot
is 4,875 sq. ft., resulting in a calculated FAR of 0.123.

[1/10/071 Please show, dimension and label existing sidewalks, driveways, etc.
More detailed comments will be given when the plans become clearer.
Stormwater and Engineering has agreed that a site/landscape plan is sufficient
and we will not require a utility plan set. However, to avoid problems pulling your
building permit later, we will want to have 3 paper copies of the final signed
mylars submitted for distribution once the project is ready to record. Since no
utility plans will be filed, there is no other way for the certain departments to know
that you have submitted any plan set whatsoever so we have to do it another
way. No worries.
Response: The existing front sidewalk is shown and dimensioned on the
revised Site Plan as requested. There are no rear lot sidewalks. The rear
drivewaylparking area is covered by the proposed 30' x 25' driveway slab.
The requested paper copies of the final mylars will be provided once the
Final design is approved and the mylars signed..

[118107] The Statement of Planning Objectives references letters of consent from
adjacent land owners. Unfortunately I did not receive these letters in my packet
of plans and would like a copy of these letters with the next submittal for the
project file.
Response: The Statement of Objectives should have only indicated a letter
from one adjacent land owner, now included with this response. The upper
half story has been removed from the revised design. However, as there is
no longer any upper half story in the revised design, the issue of impacts
to adjacent property privacy is moot, these windows provide interior light
only.
