The existing house, a two-story, above-grade, wood-frame structure, is fronted by and level with Grant Avenue. From the front of the house toward the rear (eastward), the ground slopes down moderately alonq the length of the house, then steeply to an alley way. The proposed garage, a one-story double garage measuring 30 feet by 40 feet in plan dimensions, is to be located in the steeply-sloped area between the existing house and the alley, as shown on Plate 2 - Site Plan, and is to be accessed by the alley way. We understand that the garage walls will be designed to support the excavation and stairs will be provided on the back (west) wall of the qarage to get access to the house. The area where the proposed garage is to be located had already been excavated before our first visit to the site on August 8, 1991. The excavated area was bordered by a U-shaped, near vertical cut. The cut rose from the alley level westward to a maximum of about 12 feet along the west bank. We understand that to allow the construction of the proposed garage an additional cut of 4 feet into the west bank of the existing excavation will be required, making the maximum height of cut along the west side to be approximately 14 feet. 13240 NC 20Ih S�roat, Sulta 12 • Bollovue, Washington 98005 Phone 206/649-8757 • fA% 2U61649-8758 � :�
