Setback issue caught and settled before resubmittal.

An independent review of a residential addition set before resubmittal, catching a setback problem the design team had not flagged.

Site & Location

A single-family residence in Bellevue adding space, under City of Bellevue review.

Challenge

The first City review returned 49 correction comments across building and land use. The design team redrew the set, and the owner wanted an independent check before the response window closed.

Approach

Reviewed the original set in September and walked the owner through the gaps behind the correction letter Reviewed the revised architectural set, site plan and structural sheets together in October Found that the new exterior wall assembly added about 3 inches outboard against a 7 inch side yard margin Confirmed the setback still complied and wrote the site plan note that shows the reviewer the arithmetic

Result

Before the response deadline, the owner had the setback question answered on the site plan, a hard dimension in place of a plus or minus, and the site plan moved to the front of the set.
