RE: Plan Check: BLD20110155
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.Stamp and sign structural plan sheets. The sheets will need to match the calculation
package. Several details are missing, and upon close examination, the details on
sheet 4 do not match the calculation package in various ways, e.g. the Simpson Shear
Walls called out for in the calculation package do not appear to be called out on the
architectural plans.
b.Provide a shear wall schedule, including anchor bolt requirements.
2.Indicate the window and skylight glazing requirements, including size, type, minimum U
value (.30), and safety glazing locations.
3.Include interconnected smoke detectors throughout the existing residence at the bedrooms and
immediate vicinity outside, per R314.3.1.
4.Per R408.2, regarding crawl space ventilation, one ventilated opening shall be within 3 of each
corner of the building, except one side of the building shall be permitted to have no ventilation
openings.
5.Detail 1/4 calls out R-21 insulation instead of the current code minimum R-30.
6.Provide a detail to show the minimum attic ventilation at each rafter bay, with 1 air space
above insulation.
7.If the location of the addition is near or over the existing (demolished/filled) swimming pool, the
a geotechnical report is required stating that the soils bearing capacity is adequate for the
addition loads.
