During review of the above noted application, it was found that the following information, corrections, or
clarifications are needed.
1) Provide top and bottom wall elevations for all proposed retaining walls and/or rockeries at 5' intervals.
Rockeries and retaining walls of any height located in a critical area must be designed by a Washington
State Licensed Professional Engineer (see enclosed rockery and retaining wall handouts). Provide
stamped and signed details and calculations for proposed rockery and retaining walls.
2) Label covered porch on the site plan and show location of stairs.
3) It appears that there will be a site built shower. Provide construction detail.
4) Note garage/dwelling separation on plans. Minimum 20 minute rated or 13/8" solid core door.
5) Show size and location of attic access.
6) Specify headroom in the media room on the floor plan.
7) Provide attic ventilation calculations and show location of vents on the roof framing plan.
8) Provide calculations to justify deck ledger lag bolt size and spacing shown on sheet 6 or revise to 3/8 x
4 Y2" bolts at 3" o.c.
9) Provide eco block shoring detail and a separate site plan showing locations of the temporary shoring
walls as noted in the Geotechnical Report. If their height exceeds 4' then structural calculations and peer
review will be required. (see enclosed retaining wall handout).
10) Provide letter from Geotechnical Engineer of Record stating that they have reviewed the plans and that
they are consistent with the report recommenidations.
11) Special inspections are required for the following. Complete the enclosed special inspection agreement
signed by the owner, the general contractor and the special inspector and submit to the City for approval
prior to issuance. A separate form is required for each special inspector.
• Field welding
• Soil cuts
• Temporary Eco-Block shoring (if required)
• Foundation sub -grade verification
• Any retaining wall or rockery placement
• Placement of fill
• Subsurface drainage installation
• Temporary and final erosion control
12) See attached structural comments from city consultant. Respond to each item in writing.
Please redline plans or submit two (2) sets of revised plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written
response to each of the above items to a Permit Coordinator.

STRUCTURAL COMMENTS
General
Based off the site plan it appears there is going to be a concrete retaining wall
approximately 10 feet high. Please add the requirements for this condition to the
drawings. IBC 1806
2. Please add the Shearwall requirement to the drawing for the mark SW1 and SW2.
Sheet A is different then the analysis and different then sheet 5. Which one is
correct?
3. Provide calculation for the shear wall schedule used for the house. For example
the drawing state HF stud to use. And with 8d @ 2 "O/C with 15/32 plywood size
and stud spaced at 16" O/C the capacity is 595 not 620 PLF as analysis show.
Provide analysis to justify the capacity. IBC table 23 06.4.1
4. The drawings appear to being using a moment fimne at the garage entrance. The R
value for ordinary moment frames: is 3.5 not 6.5. Please resubmit lateral analysis
to account for different seismic resisting elements. IBC table 1617.6.2 IBC
1617.6.2.3
Sheet 5 of 9 Foundations
5. Please provide analysis and detail for the 9' high foundation wall. Detail should be
added for the requirement for this wall. The detail on sheet 9 will not work for the
required design forces. Please submit this on the response how detail 9 will work
for this wall or modify accordingly. IBC 1604.4
6. Single 3X member are required and not (2) 2X as stated in the notes. Please
modify accordingly. IBC table 2306.4.1 footnote i.
7. The shear walls do not meet the minimum 3-1/2 to 1 (wind) and 2 to I (seismic). If
footnote a is used then the seismic shear wall requirements may increase to 3-1/2 to
1. Please modify and submit analysis accordingly. IBC table 2305.3.3.
Sheet 6 of 9 Main Floor Framing
S. Please justify knee braces, X-Bracing, etc is not required at the deck framing.
How are the lateral loads being transfer for the deck? CC66 bracket is not
approved to transfer lateral loads per Simpson catalog. IBC 2304.9.6
9. Please provide detail at the deck where the Shearwall. bears on the PT 2x10. Details
on the drawings havenot dealt with this. The detail shows this to be continuous at
Page 3 of 5
the Shearwall. Please provide detail for this condition on the drawings in order to
complete the review. IBC 2304.9.6
10. Please provide detail for the connection BM A to BM C. IBC 2304.9.6
11. Please provide a detail for the connection of BM B to BM C. IBC 2304.9.6
12. The drawing states metal beam but does not give the size of the metal beam. This
is required to be added to the drawings. Please add this information in order to
check code compliance. IBC 106.3
13. Please add to the drawing the requirement for the joist drag strut. Thejoist
manufacture typical only design for the dead plus live load and leave the lateral UP
to the design professional. Please either add to the drawing the requirement for the
drag struts or design a member including the connection at this location. IBC
