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 plans submitted for the house do not match the existing foundation footprint. There are
several issues to be clarified:
a.The revised site plan shows a 24 cantilever across the entire rear wall, instead of the
nook area only.
b.The upper floor joists will be over spanned if aligned to the cantilevered rear wall
location.
c.The building square footage needs to be accurate.
d.Retrofitted MST48 straps bolted to the foundation do not appear to be functional for
shear transfer from rear walls to foundation. Provide transfer details. Include any
depth of embedment for holdown anchors.
e.Provide gravity calculations for cantilevered joists carrying two floors and a roof, and
address point loads from window headers. If the nook is proposed to cantilever 4,
then include the calculations for those joists.
f.Indicate a minimum 8 clearance from the cantilevered floor joists to ground
R317.1(2)
2.Provide a construction detail for the ½ wall barrier at the edge of stairs that will address the
200# minimum load requirement. The concern is if a short wall is just nailed to the top of the
floor, it could overturn with minimal force applied.
