1st Routing Comments


The application to construct a 460 square-foot outdoor seating area has been received by the Stormwater Section of the County of Santa Cruz. The submittal has not been approved, please review and address each of the comments below (all applicants are required to follow the design requirements as outlined in the County of Santa Cruz Design Criteria referred to as the CDC hereon). The CDC can be found on the internet by navigating to County of Santa Cruz Public Works Department, Stormwater, Design Criteria (http://www.dpw.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/).


1. Prior building permit application APP-171014 (with as-built plans by Ifland Engineers) shows pervious pavers were constructed in the vicinity of the proposed outdoor seating area. The pavers were constructed as a mitigation for stormwater runoff and shall remain. Please add a note to the plans that states, "Grading, drainage, and surfacing to remain as shown on plans by Ifland Engineers, dated 14 January 2019."


2. Prior plans for APP-171014 also show 4-inch perforated subdrain pipes beneath the pavers. Please show the location of the drainage facilities on the trellis foundation plan to ensure the existing drainage system does not become damaged during construction.


3. After receiving the requested information above, further comments may be made following the resubmittal. The applicant is encouraged to discuss the above comments with the reviewer, Jennifer Buckley, to avoid unnecessary additional routings. An additional review fee shall be applied to all re-submittals starting with the third routing.

APN: 039-221-12 Reviewer: Jennifer Buckley 2nd Routing Comments - Approved


Based upon DPW Stormwater's review of the submitted plans by Wald Rhunkle & Dost, dated 28 September 2022, the application to construct a 425 square-foot outdoor seating area has been approved. The plans show no new or replaced impervious areas, nor any changes to the existing drainage patterns. If subsequent revisions are made to drainage patterns or impervious areas, the Stormwater Section of DPW requests to review the revised plans.
