Bleeker Street Date:Tuesday, November 17, 2020 4:27:38 PM Attachments:image003.png image004.png image005.png image001.png Sarah, Below are Engineering’s comments. Prior to HPC approval the following comments need to be addressed: 1.There is an existing transformer on the property that is shown on the survey but not in the proposed drawings. Please show this transformer on the drawings or explain where it is being relocated. Does the existing transformer have capacity for the addition and increased use? Work with the City Electric Department to determine available capacity. 2.The electric/communication utility easement bk 524 pg 835 needs to be updated to provide current clearance distance standards. 3’ must be clear on the sides of the transformer vault and 10’ clear at the front. If it is a 5’ vault this means the easement must be 11’ wide by 8’ deep with the 10’ in the front remaining clear in the alley ROW. 3.If the permeable pavers shown on the landscape plan in the SE corner is meant to be a parking spot, the existing transformer prevents that from happening. Is that a required parking spot or a patio? The following is a heads up for requirements at building permit: 1.Applicant will be required to follow the requirements of a major development within the Urban Runoff Management Plan. The conceptual HPC plan shows the installation of a raingarden to account for stormwater requirements which demonstrates there is a path forward to meet stormwater requirements. 2.All utilities will need to be shown at building permit. If fire suppression is provided calculations or a memo needs to be submitted verifying water service line size. There does not appear to be major utility/tree conflicts so the project can move forward through HPC approval. EXHIBIT B - REFERRAL COMMENTS From:Hailey Guglielmo To:Sarah Yoon Cc:Wyatt Young Subject:RE: HPC Referral Project: 227 E. Bleeker Street Date:Monday, November 30, 2020 12:39:48 PM Attachments:image001.png image002.png image003.png image006.png image007.png Sarah, Two additional comments to add based on this information. 1.The drainage letter states they intend to raise the existing first floor elevation to get positive drainage. If I recall correctly there was an HPC issue with 203 N Monarch that due to it’s historic nature the house could not be raised. I will defer to HPC on if altering the floor elevation is permitted. 2.StormTech is not an approved BMP in the URMP. It does not meet the ten foot depth requirement to get below frost depth. At building permit the applicability of this particular BMP will need to be further vetted. Thanks. Hailey MEMORANDUM TO: Sarah Yoon, Historic Preservation Planner FROM: Sophie Varga, Zoning Enforcement Officer DATE: 11/17/2020 RE: 227 E Bleeker Referral Comments Floor area calculations: 1. Allowed deck exemption: the deck exemption is calculated off of the prescribed floor area by the specific approval (1,800 SF); the Floor area bonus is not included. The deck exemption is 270 SF. a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05 b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.4(b) 2. Front porches: if the front porches are more than 30” above finished grade they are attributed to floor area as deck. Both front porches need to be included in floor area calculations. a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05 b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.5 3. Subgrade wall calculations: The percentage of exposed wall area should be rounded up to 3.5 (from 3.46). It is preferable to be consistent with the number of decimal places; two are used in all other calculations. Provide sections that clearly depict the interior wall being projected outward, especially for Walls 2 and 6. If finished grade and natural grade are the same, note this. a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05 b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.8 Setback Variations: please be sure to dimension all projections into the setback. A variation needs to be requested for the rear yard setback for all three levels (this portion of the building is not used solely as a garage – there is a deck above it). A variation request should also be made to legalize the existing overhang into the front yard setback. This memorandum summarizes major items. A variety of other requirements will be necessary for building permit submittal and zoning review.
