Project: Holt decks
nd
Project Address: 8715 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.The stair stringers appear to be severely over spanned. Provide a center span beam or other
method to reduce the deflection to within code standards. Indicate connection hardware at the
stringer to joist location.
2.2x4 angle braces are indicated at the section detail. Show where these are proposed to be
installed on the plan view.
3.The proposed 16x16 deck that is skewed from the existing deck does not appear to be
adequately braced for lateral movement. Provide a continuous connection detail (drag strut or
collector) to the house (e.g. solid blocking with strapping), and 45degree-4x4 knee bracing (at
post to beam) and H-1 hurricane clips to tie the joists to the beams, or other acceptable method
to ensure that the deck will remain stable under a seismic or wind event.
