During review of the above noted application, it was found that, the following information,
corrections, or clarifications are needed. Please redline plans or submit two (2) sets of revised
plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the items below to a
Permit Coordinator.
1) Specify if stair is existmig or proposed. Current code requires 10" minimum treads. If altering
stairs they must meet current code,
2) Specify if new addition will be blocking foundation vents in the existing house. If so then revise
foundation ventilation calculations to account for this. Also show location of required vents on
the foundation plan to make sure cross ventilation is provided.
3) Show size and location of crawlspace access.
4) Clarify what the arrows on the main floor plan in the kitchen and the family room are trying to
indicate.
5) Engineer of record to revise detail I/S 1.0 to show how top of posts is connected to resist lateral
displacement. An additional A24 will also be required on the bottom of the post to the footing.
Also show post above floor level to show how it will be anchored as to also resist lateral
displacement.
6) Provide section through proposed foundation to show how proposed floorjoists will be attached
(i.e. top flange hanger, ledger, etc.). If a ledger is used and anchored to the foundation wall
provide calculations from Engineer of Record for bolt size, embedment and attachment and
special inspections will be required (i.e. kwick bolts, epoxy, expansion anchors, etc.) if this
option is chosen. Complete the enclosed special inspection testing agreement signed by the
owner, the general contractor and the special inspector.
7) Provide beam calculations for all proposed beams.
8) Add existing floor framing to the upper floor framing plan around the addition area to clarify
how the existing and the proposed tie into each other.
