Project: Addition
Project Address: same
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.Engineer of Record
a.Justify the lateral impact to the existing structure where portions of exterior walls
have been removed. If the remaining portions of the exterior walls are to remain
sheathed, indicate so. If additional holdowns will need to be retrofitted, give the
epoxy bolting requirements.
b.Plan sheet 4/4 shows 4 locations of shear walls, with the narrowest version 16
wide. The engineering calculation package Shear Wall/Overturning shows the walls
as 3 wide. Typically narrow shear walls have a tighter nailing pattern than 6 and 12.
Justify the panel requirements with the panels proposed.
2.Due to the complicated nature of the gravity loads, provide gravity calculations from a registered
design professional (Washington State licensed engineer or architect). Including, but not limited
to the following:
a.Large beams
b.Columns at larger point loads
c.Connections from columns to beams
d.Connections from beam to beam
e.Connection of cantilevered floor carrying roof load, where portions of the bearing
wall beneath will be removed, to the GLB. Address any holes that will occur in the
GLB.
f.Footings at point loads
