During re -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.
p (' by thickness, widths, etc.) Provide
1 Detail still does not match calculation provided i.e..%a„ �,th ckn.,,._,,.
new detail to match calculations or provide revised calculations to match detail. Provide
calculations for the basement wall. Per a check of analysis the footing is not large enough to
resist the horizontal force from the soil pressure. The rigid insulation can not be used to resist
this force and the footing must be designed to resist the horizontal forces with a safety factor of
1.5. IBC 1806 The design analysis submitted show the allowable soil bearing pressure will be
exceeded. It has been crossed out and stated OK. Please modify the retaining wall so nothing is
overstressed. The building code is a minimum standard and does not allow any part of the
structural system to be overstressed. Modify basement wall so nothing is over stressed.
2) SW4 at the stairs on sheet A-8 scaled to 6: Revise plans or provide revised calculations to
iustify 6' length. 9. The design analysis used a height for the overturning moment for SW 4 to be
8 feet. This is not correct based off the stairway. Please modify the analysis to account for the
height based off the opening in the floor. IBC 2305.3.4 Also, it appears the length (width) of
wall used was 8 feet but the wall scales to 6 feet. Please add the required length of this wall on
the drawings. IBC 2305.3.5 Response state see letter from Reed & Associates. There was not a
letter in the submitted package dealing with this issue. Please submit or modify accordingly
