Please add a note to the site plan and narrative that the extra occupancy may or
may not be owner occupied and meets the land use code requirements for
either. Then change "tenant" language to "occupant" language to clarify the total
number of occupants who may be living in the dwelling.

Thank you for stating in your comments that you plan on planting a Kentucky
Coffeetree on this property in the future. That is great news! For record keeping
purposes (although not formally required), please include this information in the
Commented [BJ7]: Understood – will keep in mind if
site changes become necessary!
Commented [BJ8]: Thank you for the information!
Commented [BJ9]: This note has been updated
accordingly on the site plan.
Commented [BJ10]: After discussion with the planning
department during Round 1 of development review, it is
understood that parking requirements for the extra
occupancy rental can be satisfied without removing any
trees. The site plan and narrative have been updated
accordingly and no longer reference removal of the ash
tree, so I believe this note will no longer be necessary.
Thank you!

06/22/2020: 1. This house built in 2000 had 3 bedrooms and a unfinished
basement and no basement finish permit has been issued. All past construction
and building permits must show as obtained and completed. For example: If the
house has basement bedrooms, the original home construction permit or a
basement finish permit must show as approving/inspecting/completing those
areas. Work done without the required permit must obtain an after-the-fact
permit.
2. The building must comply with the Rental Housing Minimum Requirements in
the adopted 2006 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and a
building inspection will be conducted to verify these items. See separate
handout or refer to the adopted 2006 IPMC and amendments.

We have no comments, but will need to see any future submittals.
Commented [BJ11]: Thank you for the feedback!
After discussion with the planning department during
Round 1 of development review, it is understood that
parking requirements for the extra occupancy rental
can be satisfied without removing any trees. The site
plan and narrative have been updated accordingly and
no longer reference removal of the ash tree; as such,
planting a future tree is also no longer pertinent to the
scope of this project.
Commented [BJ12]: Understood – will keep in mind if
the occupancy classification were to change.
Commented [BJ13]: The house’s current color
scheme is as shown on the site plan elevation photos
(dark blue with white trim and gold address numbers).
I understand that this is sufficient to address your
concerns regarding insufficient contrast. Thanks for
the clarification!
Commented [BJ14]: I have obtained a permit for the
after-the-fact basement finish and am currently working
with an inspector to ensure it is ready to pass
inspection! Thanks!
Commented [BJ15]: Understood; I will ensure the
house complies with these requirements!
