RE: Plan Check: BLD20090288
Project: Eldridge Addition
st
Project Address: 20918 81 Pl W
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.The city copy of page A3.1 didnt get the architects stamp signed. This can be done anytime
prior to permit issuance, or when the permit is picked up.
2.Provide a connection detail for the floor joist ledger at the foundation wall in the stair/mudroom
area as depicted in section 1/4.1
3.Shear Questions:
a.It is unclear how the shear transfer occurs at the interior shear wall where a new 4x10
beam has been installed adjacent to the footings at the fireplace area. Detail 15/S4.1,
which is referenced, is not included on the plans.
b.Provide column calculations for the larger point loads.
c.The 5-1/2x14 PSL beam above the furnace in the garage has shear walls above.
There are straps from the shearwalls above, to the beam, but the shear transfer from
the beam to the foundation is missing. Provide post, beam pocket, hardware, and
nailing requirements for both ends of the beam.
d.Where the SW-1a is located in the garage at the existing foundation wall, call out
how to retrofit bolts to meet the 5/8 anchor bolt spacing. If sleave anchor bolts are
to be used, call out the minimum embedment. If epoxy bolts, then special inspection
will be required.
e.Shear wall schedule should contain minimum embedment requirements for anchor
bolts
f.A note should be included that the minimum washer sixe for anchor bolts is
3x3x.229
4.Provide beam calculations for the existing 4x12 ridge beam that the new rafters will be attached
to at the living room/entry location. Follow point loads to footings and identify existing, and
upgrades, if necessary.
5.How will attic ventilation occur at locations like this?
6.There appear to be areas that crickets or other means to divert rain water off the inverted valley
locations, e.g. at item #4 location and on the back side of the wall open to the second story
ceiling level between the kitchen and dining room.
7.Call out hanger/ hardware/ connection details for the following locations:
a.Beams and joists at master bath floor framing
b.Where 5 1/2 x16 PSL beam intersects other beams at grid line 3 between C and D
8.There needs to be a footing or beam under the bearing wall at the edge of the stairs below the
master bath to carry the floor load.
9.Identify footing size and rebar requirements for new front porch footings. Include anchorage
and connection details for columns and beams.
10.Identify rebar dowel requirements to tie new foundation to existing.
11.Identify furnace blockout limitations in foundation wall at shear walls if needed.
12.Provide a detail for the peak of the shed roofs for flashing and drip edge requirements.
