Hello Molly, 

We received a notification in the mail of the request to build a new home at 9650 SE Maker St.  My 
understanding is that the new building square footage inaccurately excludes the basement from the 
total square footage of the lot.  Our house as well as our neighbors (and the lot in question) are 
considered style code 16 - 1 story with basement...but the square footage is basically at max of our lots 
since we include the first level (basement/no windows in back) of our homes.  This new home would 
violate the gross floor area calculations allowed in our zone.  In addition, this new home is being built on 
elevated land - there is a retaining wall directly in front of where this home is being proposed to be 
built.  

I'd like to have my concerns noted in the comments for this structure as I feel that the size of the house 
is planned to be far larger than allowed in our zone.

Thank you,
Natasha Garcia
3440 72nd Ave SE
