61. Provide topographic survey (stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor) to establish slope and average grade or,
use subdivision grading plan, if applicable.
62. Provide a sheet showing the outline of the proposed structure over a topographic survey to verify determination
of slope and grade to be used for measuring height.
63.
Provide slope of the lot. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely
approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided polygon shall not be smaller
than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be located entirely within the buildable area of the lot. Identify
the elevation points from survey and distance used to calculate slope.
64.
Establishment of Grade (Five Percent or Less Slope)- The grade of the surface from which structure height is
measured shall be a plane established using the average of the elevations at each corner of the four-sided
polygon. Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established grade elevation from which to measure structure height.
Identify the four points used to determine grade plane on site plan and illustrate average grade calculation.
65. 2
Establishment of Grade (More than Five Percent Slope)- The established grade from which structure height is
measured shall be a plane established by determining the elevation of the lot at five evenly spaced points along
each of the two side property lines and connecting each of the points along a side property line with the
corresponding point on the opposite side property line. The five evenly spaced points along each side property
line shall be located so that one point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with the side property
line and another point is located at the intersection of the rear setback line with the side property line. The other
three points along the side property line shall be located so that all five points are equidistant from each other.
Provide a grade plane exhibit per the methodology above and clearly identify the survey points used to
establish the grade plane. Cannot see bottom left corner point on exhibit. Indicate the
elevation used at that corner. Also, provide calculation for each interpolated grade
point.
66. Label the established grade on all elevation sheets.
67. For lots with a more than 5 percent slope, plot roof plan over established grade plan exhibit to assist with
determination of grade points located directly below ridge peaks, roof areas and/or parapets.
68. Label interpolated grade points (based on established grade plane) below any critical ridge, parapet, etc.
69. Dimension heights from established grade to: top of flat roof ridge peak all roof top equipment
deck rails any flat elements
70. All new structures shall have a minimum top of slab elevation of 9.0 (88 NAVD datum) pursuant to Section
20.30.060.B.3. When the top of slab is required to be raised, the height of the principal building shall be
measured from the 9.0 (88 NAVD datum) elevation.
71. 2 Provide a complete roof plan. See comment 65 and 73.
72. Label roof pitches on roof plan and elevations.
73. 2 Label and dimension eave overhang to property line on all exterior elevations. New eave encroaches too
far. Please see red marks.

calculations and missing point (cut off from plans)
MKN Comment: IDENTIFY THE CURB HEIGHT ELEVATIONS FROM THE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY ON

DESIGN CRITERIA (20.48.180 B.)
For 78-83 below, applicable to all single-unit and two-unit residential building citywide
82.
Walls: Long unarticulated exterior walls are discouraged on all structures. The visual massing of a building should
be reduced by incorporating appropriate design elements; including variation in the wall plane, building modulation,
opening, recesses, vertical element, varied textures, and design accents (e.g. moldings, pilasters, etc.). Front
facades shall include windows.
83. Upper floors: Portions of upper floors should be set back in order to scale down facades that face the street,
common open space, and adjacent residential structures. Upper story setbacks are recommended either as full
length “stepbacks” or partial indentations for upper story balconies, decks, and/or aesthetic setbacks.
84. Architectural treatment: Architectural treatment of all elevations visible from public places, including alleys, is
encouraged. Treatments may include window treatments, cornices, siding, eaves, and other architectural features.
85.
Front façade: Where the neighborhood pattern is for the primary entrance to face the street, the primary entry and
windows should be the dominate elements of the front façade. Primary entrances should face the street with a
clear, connecting path to the public sidewalk or street. Alternatively, entry elements may be visible from the street
without the door necessary facing the street.
86. Main entrance: The main dwelling entrance should be clearly articulated through the use of architectural detailing.
87. Comments:
