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 beam calculation packages provided have your architects stamp, but the signature is
missing.
2.For the project valuation, to determine compliance with RCW64.55, an actual contractors
written bid is required.
3.According to IRC Table 601 for type V-A construction, both the structural frame and the floor
construction is required to be of one hour construction. This would include the columns. On
sheet 5 of the drawings, under Note on Fire Rating, the deck is indicated to have both gyp and
plywood untilized for the required one hour fire resistive rating. Details 1/5 and 2/5 show
vented vinyl soffit, but do not clearly indicate that gyp board is required beneath the vinyl soffit.
4.Provide drain and overflow details, including flashing requirements.
5.The Occupancy type currently is R-2.
