RE: Building permit for 7715 Skyline Drive
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ellingwood:
Lot 12, Block 6 of Beverly Hills First Addition has significant drainage problems. For years
this lot has received drainage from property above. Care needs to be taken in building on
this lot to ensure that runoff coming onto the site can be adequately handled. Because a
home built on this lot could be damaged by flooding, we will require that certain conditions
be met before we sign off on the building permit.
These conditions must be met:
The applicant shall have an engineer licensed in Washington evaluate the
amount of water expected to come onto this property from a 50 year storm.
The engineer shall design a facility for transporting the 50 year flow across
the site without damage to the proposed structure or drainfield or to the
county road and right-of-way. The plan shall be submitted to the County
Engineer's Office for review and approval along with a legal description for
a drainage easement to contain the proposed drainage facility. The
applicant shall ensure that the facility is constructed according to the plan
and that the approved drainage easement is recorded with the County
Auditor on the property in the location of the facility for transporting the 50
year flow.
These measures are needed to show that you have considered the flooding potential and will
be building the house so that it will be reasonably safe from flooding.
If you have questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
Brenda Sims
