RE: Plan Check: 2007-0684
Project: Columbia Rim Warehouse revision
Project Address: 8130 240th
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the changes can
be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to Theresa Umbaugh, Senior Permit
Coordinator. Thank you.
1.The slab thickness noted in the architects revision letter dated 1/13/09 is 7 inches
instead of the 6 inches as found in the approved drawings. Assuming the slab was
installed per the drawings at 6 inches, is the footing width still adequate for the gravity
load of the floor above?
2.The architects letter mentions an additional 2x4 nailed to the bottom chord of the TJI
joists, and that the manufacturer has approved this for meeting the actual required.
Please provide the manufacturers standard detail or their stamped engineering showing
this to be the case.
3.The additional storage room on the second floor requires access to two exits from this
space. IBC 1019.1 requires all rooms and spaces within each story be provided with and
have access to the minimum number of approved independent exits. Please see below a
copy from the IBC Code Commentary. (I will note that in previous discussions with the
nd
building official, it was determined that the 2
floor would not qualify as a mezzanine.)
This item will also be included in my forthcoming comment letter regarding the TI
permit application recently submitted to the city.
