Project: Wirkkala Remodel
Project Address: 7525 Ridge Way
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 cross section A/A2.0 indicates the existing ceiling joists will be removed (note item #5). By
doubling up the existing rim joist an apparent hinge point in the wall will be created. Provide a
detail or other justification to remove the hinge point.
2.Provide connection details for both ends of new 2x6 ceiling joists at vaulted area.
3.Provide a connection detail for the new strongback at item #18/A2.0
4.Provide a roof framing plan with rafter, joist, and beam species, grade, and sizes for all areas
impacted by the remodel. It appears that bearing walls may be proposed for removal at the
master bedroom. Indicate new beams or other means to transfer the gravity loads to the
foundation.
5.Shearwall note #9, sheet A2.0, indicates to look at foundation plan for holdowns. Provide
foundation plan. If epoxy bolts to existing concrete will be required, identify product and
embedment depth.
