RE: Plan Check: BLD20110157
Project: Deck replacement
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.Structural notes on sheet 8 indicate an Engineer of Record, Thompson Engineering. If so, the
EOR, by state law, is required to stamp and sign the plans and provide the calculations. If not,
then remove the name and reference from the plans.
2.Indicate the slope of deck.
3.Indicate the type of membrane or waterproofing materials proposed.
4.The beams, as drawn, appear to be exposed to the weather, and would thus be required to be
pressure preservative treated. Either provide weather proofing detail, or PT wood. PT
dimensional lumber is HF#2, see #7. If PT-DFL beams are to be used be advised they may be
special order items.
5.The beams are over spanned according to the standard deck detail 4/4. Provide beam
calculations.
6.A minimum 3 landing is required at the base of the stairs. Indicate the material proposed for
the landings.
7.The stairs, as drawn, do not appear to be constructed like standard detail 6/3 on sheet 10.
Indicate the stringer framing and, if 2x12s or notched 4x12s, provide a mid span beam below
the long spanned stair run.
