Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have been disapproved for the purposes of obtaining
a building permit. During a review of the plans by the Building Division for compliance with the applicable building codes, it was
found that the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning,
Engineering, or Fire, may result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of this letter. Items that recur on
this list appear in italics. A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents.
Written response in itemized letter format indicating where the 'clouded' or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the
revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit Coordinator.
The clouded areas on the drawing are to depicted shrubs
Only those sheets specifically referenced as follows need to be resubmitted. Resubmittals must be made at the Development
Services Department on the 2nd Floor of City Hall. Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-
12pm on Wednesdays.
General plan review notes:
1. Provide a project valuation, required to determine the applicable permit fees. A written response letter or other documentation
representing the cost of the walk-in cooler and its associated equipment was not provided. The project valuation entered on the
valuation' screen of the permit tracking software appears to be low, and to not include the costs of the refrigeration equipment.
!7tln._I v: ! the to! -of the f,. �. Ipllecf I you but It didn't c total value Including
Installation etc Is at $16450
2) Clarify on the plans the installation of gas piping proposed on the 'online' application. There does not appear to be an
appliance that utilizes fuel gas. A written response letter or other documentation representing the utilization and demand of fuel
gas needed to verify the size of any gas piping was not provided. A note indicating 'less than 10' pipe' has been added to sheet '9'
(as numbered by the plans examiner) without identifying the type/material, size, method of installation of the piping or the
equipment it is intended to serve. On sheets 8 and 9 (as numbered by the plans examiner)
t ne tine sets consist or tin aF -, cropper, Less than 10' in length from the condensing unit on the roof of the box to the
evaporation hung Inside the box. R404a refrigerant was user!.
3). Provide complete plan sheets representing the details of construction of the walk-in cooler. Portions of details/information
appear to be missing from both sheets. A written response letter or revised plans were not provided. The originally submitted
sheets '8' and '9' (as numbered by the plans examiner) appear to be photocopied reductions that are difficult to read and are
missing portions of the diagrams, notes, and details.

Si, I've attached the cooler drawing, as well as the Regul_gty letter
4). Provide information regarding the compliance of the refrigeration equipment with the minimum efficiency requirements of
Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) C410.1.1. A written response letter or other documentation indicating the efficiency of
the refrigeration equipment needed to verify compliance with WSEC C410.1.1 was not provided.
Justin: Same as above, they will not accept a hand written spec Regulatory letter attached
6). Provide information regarding the compliance of the evaporator fan motor with the requirements of WSEC C410.2,
Justin: Same as above, the will not accept a hand written spec Regulatory fetter attached
7). A written response letter or other documentation indicating the evaporator fan motor specifications needed to verify
compliance with WSEC C410.2, Item 7 was not provided. 7. Provide information regarding the compliance of the condenser fan
motor with the requirements of WSEC C410.2,
Justin: Same as above, they will not afc RLa hdhd written spec Mulatory letter attached
8). A written response letter or other documentation indicating the condenser fan motor specifications needed to verify
compliance with WSEC C410.2, Item 8 was not provided. 8. Indicate on the plans the required lighting efficacy, or occupancy
sensor controlling the operation, of the walk-in cooler lighting per WSEC 410.2,
Jason: I showed them that is was a low watt LED light but they need documentation that the light is controlled by a motion sensor
with that turns it off when not in use?
11). A written response letter or other documentation indicating the efficacy or control of the lighting needed to verify compliance
with WSEC C410.2, Item 11 was not provided.

To Whom It May Concern:
Kolpak

Parsons, TN 38363
Kolpak and Harford brands of Manitowoc Foodservice comply with regulatory requirements including
Nat:ivi_td l Sdiitntliii > iiiivatijo.. (NSFI`/, ' 1-nd nritCrS 1blOratCry (UL), liitemationa! Bildig Code C),
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), International Energy Conservation Code, Department of
Energy, California Code of Regulations Title 20, City of Houston, State of Oregon, and are accepted by the
United States Department of Agriculture. Units requiring Factory Mutual 4880, City of Los Angeles, and
Miami Dade County are available.
The foam plastic used in this product is CFC and HCFC free and complies with IBC Chapter 26. The
requirements of section 2603.4.1.2 are satisfied when used with an automatic sprinkler by others and will
not require a thermal barrier. The requirements of section 2603.4.1.3 are satisfied without a sprinkler as
long as no panel is over 4" thick, the aggregate walk-in floor area does not exceed 400 square feet, and a
thermal barrier by others is present.
The foam has been tested to ASTM E-84 as follows: flame spread rating: 20; smoke developed rating:
450; minimum flash -ignition temperature rating: 833°f; minimum spontaneous ignition temperature
rating: 806°f. Also, the foam will have a covering of not less than 0.032-inch aluminum or corrosion -
resistant steel having a base metal thickness not less than 0.0160 inch at any point.
Energy code requires the following minimum R-values: R-25 for coolers, R-32 for freezers, and R-28 for
freezer floors. Kolpak foam is tested in accordance with ASTM C518-2004 and has the following results.
For coolers (reported at 55 F mean temperature)
4" thick: R-29
5" thick: R-36
6" thick R-44
For freezers (reported at 20 F mean temperature)
4" thick: R-32
5" thick: R-40
6" thick: R-48
4" floor: R-29
The following further complies with energy code:
• Doors will have closers designed to firmly close walk-in doors that have been closed to within 1 of
full closure.
• Doors will have strip doors, curtains, spring -hinged doors or other method of minimizing
infiltration when doors are open.
• Lights will have an efficacy of not less than 40 lumens per watt.
• Viewports will be triple -pane glass, either filled with inert gas or with heat -reflective treated glass.
• Transparent reach -in doors without anti -sweat heater controls will have a heater power draw of no
more than 7.1 or 3.0 watts per square foot of door opening for freezers and coolers, respectively.
When supplied with anti -sweat heater controls, the heater power draw will either have a heater
power draw of no more than 7.1 or 3.0 watts per square foot of door opening for freezers and
coolers, respectively, or the anti -sweat heater controls will reduce the energy use of the heater in a
quantity corresponding to the relative humidity of the air outside the door or to the condensation
on the inner glass pane.
Evaporator fan motors that are less than 1 HP and less than 460 volts are electronically
commutated motors.
Condenser fan motors that are less than 1 HP are permanent split -capacitor motors.
Attached are additional reference documents. Please let us know if you have any further concerns.
