1. Technical comments made about an item on one sheet, or in a document, may necessitate changes to
other related sheets and documents. It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine any such necessary
adjustments. Please ensure consistent information is communicated throughout the plan set and
associated application materials.
2. Update the incorrect vicinity map in the plan set.
3. Please provide the proposed roof area information on the site plan.
4. In accordance with FWRC 19.145.090(4), if the city grants a reasonable use request it shall grant the
minimum necessary to provide the applicant with some reasonable use of the subject property; any
waiver of requirements shall result in the minimum possible impacts to the function associated with
proposed improvements on affected critical areas.
Changes to the site layout are possible. As a result of the code above, the proposed home and driveway
need to be moved further away from the on-site wetland; explore moving it further to the south.
5. In the wetland report, it shows a sign detail from King County; use the enclosed detail (3-56 NGPA sign).
6. The buffer enhancement plan needs to be revised to account for the revised location of the residence
pursuant to comment #4 above.

on August 9, 2021.
