RE:
Plan Check # 2007-0455
Project: Taub Addition
Project Address: 9123 196`h Street SW
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) Please add the following information to the site plan. Please redline plans or resubmit three (3) new site
plans scaled no smaller than 1 "=20' and one on paper no larger than 8 %" x 14".
■ Reduced site plan does not match the large site plans (i.e. height rectangle, topography, datum,
roads, etc.). Please coordinate plans and resubmit accordingly.
2) Plans have several references to the UBC code. Currently the City has adopted the 2003 version of the
International Building Codes. Please update all applicable notes (i.e. stair and smoke detector notes on
sheet 1).
3) Specify all uses of space on the floor plan (i.e. new addition off the kitchen, garage addition, area North
of the master suite, etc.).
4) Minimum 50 cfm is required in the new closet off the master suite which contains a sauna and sink.
Please note on floor plans.
5) Foundation plans show footings for the porch. Please specify if this is new or existing and revise plans
accordingly.
6) Please provide detailed description of work (i.e. Will there be an interior remodeling as part of this
project? Kitchen, laundry, bath, etc.). Then clearly label plans accordingly (i.e. existing no change, or
remodel kitchen, etc.) so they show the full scope of work for this project.
7) R403.1.3 requires all.vertical rebar to have a standard hook. Revise all foundation details to reflect.
8) Specify nailing of multiple studs (i.e. supporting 5 118" x 22 %" GLB).
9) Structural Engineer in calculation required that the existing living room wall adjoining the new addition
be SWA6-to verify. Please add this note to the plans so this can be verified in the field.
10) Geotechnical Report by Dennis M Bruce, P.E. dated December 17, 1999 that was submitted with the
house was constructed required minimum 18" continuous and 24" isolated footings. Please revise plans
to reflect this or provide new letter from a Washington State Licensed Professional Geotechnical
Engineer for approval of what is shown on the plans.
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
