Project: George addition,remodel
nd
Project Address: 8708 182 Pl SW
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the changes can
be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator.
1.Provide an existing floor plan of kitchen
2.Provide an existing floor plan for the lower level affected by the addition and remodel. It
appears that a beam should be installed to carry the floor and roof above the bumped out space
of the laundry room, where a portion of the bearing wall apparently is proposed for removal.
Indicate the new beam size, grade and species, if one is required. Provide loads onto the beam
so it can be checked for sizing. At least floor joist spans and truss or rafter spans which need to
be accounted for in sizing of the beam.
3.The details on page 5 are lacking:
a.Min 12 wide footings per IRC Table 403.1
b.R-10 rigid slab insulation
c.The connection nailing and hurricane clip requirements at the top of wall to existing
deck joists. I would recommend Simpson H-1 or equal clips to transfer both shear
and uplift.
d.The requirements for the anchor bolts to mudsill is 3x3x.229 plate washers.
e.Detail C calls for anchor bolts but does not indicate the size-min ½x10
f.The plywood sheathing grade and size is not indicated-e.g.1/2 CDX, or 7/16 OSB
g.Provide brace panel locations and nailing requirements
h.Provide alternate brace panel locations and nailing, holdown, and bolting
requirements
i.The 2x6 species, grade and spacing is not indicated-e.g. 2x6#2 DFL @ 16 o.c.
4.Provide a hard surfaced landing minimum 3x3 at the exterior door, indicate materials to be
used.
5.Provide a full height section detail.
6.Call out header sizes or indicate the minimum header size with a note.
