The above referenced project is in the process of plan review for compliance with
Edmonds ordinances and applicable codes. The following conunents,
deficiencies/corrections must be addressed prior to completion of plans review and
subsequent issuance of permits.
Provide revised plans and calculations along with a written response to each of the items
listed below to facilitate a shorter back -check time.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
The scope of this review isfor the Structural Only requirements of this project.
All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All
portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements,
conditions and concerns before permit approval.

1, Please submit geotechnical report that deal with a pile foundations. The report per
Dennis M. Bruce is for conventional foundation. The Engineering analysis states
all the information was supplied verbally to him. Without this information there is
no way to complete the review of the pile foundation system. Please submit this in
order to complete the review. I will make the assumption the verbal is correct but a
geotechnical report is required to be submitted to justify design and to verify the
information is shown on the drawings as required per this report. IBC 1808.2.2

I S ';!I?sWr etlifegrade, beam to support the framing. There was nothing
submitted to justify the grade beam design. How was the reinforcement
determined? Submit analysis for the reinforcement shown including the shear
reinforcement. ACT 9.2
4. The original analysis assumes the slab on grade will be resisting the lateral sliding.
Based off the soil properties and piles are required please submit justification to
use the slab to resist sliding. The geotechnical engineers should give the
requirement for the slab to resist all the sliding in this report when foundation
system has changed. This was not in the original report if piles are to be used.
Please address this on the response and modify accordingly. IBC 1806
5. Maximum spacmig of the pile per analysis state 10 feet on center. But based off the
architectural drawing this will be exceeded. For example the grid A per sketch
show one pile to be added in the middle and the total length is 23 feet. This would
cause the spacing per design. Please resubmit drawings clearly specify the location
of the piles to assure the required design is not exceeded. (There are other location
where the spacing will be exceeded)
6. It appears the deck loading was not included when calculating the required force
applied the grade beam. Please resubmit analysis to account for this loading. IBC
1605
7. Submit analysis for the deck footing to resist the required forces. Piles were not
used at this location and this must be design to show the footing will be able to
resist the loads applied.

8. Design analysis assumed the force will be uniform applied along the grade beam.
This is not correct at the column locations. Typically piles are added directly under
the coluirms where point loads applied to the foundations. Alternative the reactions
and moments can be checked with the point load applied at this location and the
loads are distributed over to the piles if the grade beam can transfer this load.
Submit analysis to justify. IIBC 1604.4
9. Currently the new drawing by the engineer does not show how the exterior support
at the master bathroom will be supported. The building framing extends out 3'6
and there are no piles or grade beam to support the framing. How is this to be
supported? Please either submit geotechnical report that conventional foundation
may be used at this location or add piles to support this required forces.
Additional corrections may be required following receipt of corrections and
additional information as requested.
Your plans are being reviewed concurrently with the Building Department, Fire
Department, Zoning Department and Public Works Engineering. Changes,
clarifications or additional corrections may be required subsequent to the Building
Department plan review when comments are received from the other concerned
departments.
Should you have any inquiries regarding this letter, please contact Hoyt Jeter at
