2018. During our review, staff has determined that additional information is necessary in order to proceed further.
The following will need to be corrected and submitted before March 21, 2019 so that we may continue the review
of the above subject application:
1. According to the submitted grading plans, is appears that Lots 1-3 would have finished floor elevations
below the grade of Lincoln Ave NE. In order the utilize the private access as an alley for these lots, the
finished floor elevations of these lots must be revised to be level with the elevation of Lincoln Ave NE,
otherwise the private access functions as a shared driveway and the proposal exceeds the maximum
number of lots (4), which are permitted to access off of a shared driveway.

is 6 feet. Please revise the plans as necessary to ensure none of the proposed retaining walls exceeds the
maximum permitted height of 6 feet.
