o E� City of Edmonds PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS BUILDING DIVISION est. 109' (425) 771-0220 DATE: January 4, 2008 TO: Tony Shapiro tony@adshapiro.com FROM: Ann Bullis, Assistant Building Official RE: Plan Check # 2007-1219 Project: Valhalla Mixed Use — Foundation only Project Address: 23020 Edmonds Way During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information, clarifications or changes are needed. Provide written responses to each comment and where changes can be found on the plans. Please resubmit to Marie Harrison, Permit Coordinator. A general review of the basic architectural and site plans was done with this review for items that may affect the foundation or PT decks, such as building size, number of stories, general exiting, general accessibility, etc. A complete review of the architectural and site plans will be done with the main building permit review. It is highly recommended that the main building permit application be submitted as soon as possible so that a complete review can be done before the foundation permit is issued to help eliminate foundation/PT deck field changes. 1. As noted in my e-mail dated 10/22/07 and explained at the meeting of 10/5/07, full structural plans and calculations are required to be submitted for the foundation -only permit application. The submittal was incomplete, therefore a complete review could not be conducted. Provide full structural plans and calculations for review. 2. For temporary cuts that will take place on adjacent lots to accommodate the construction, the following must be provided: a. Separate grading permits are required for each lot if the grading is 50 cubic yards or more. Permit applications must be signed by the property owners, or if an agent is acting on behalf of a property owner, a letter must be submitted to the City signed by the property owner designating the agent to act on their behalf in the matter. b. Where grading on each adjacent lot is less than 50 cubic yards, a temporary construction easement must be submitted to the City for each affected lot, signed by the lot owner(s). 3. Provide a letter from the geotechnical engineer of record that they have reviewed the plans and they comply with the recommendations in their report from 7/10/2006, or provide addendum to report with additional recommendations. 4. Special inspections for the foundation -only permit are required for: Geotechnical Special Inspections: a. Excavation, grading and site preparation b. General site monitoring c. Subsurface drainage installation d. Soil bearing verification e. Placement of fill and compaction Structural Special Inspections: f. Structural inspections noted on Sheets S 1.1 and S 1.2 Complete the enclosed Special Inspection Agreements (one for each firm) have all parties sign them, and return for approval prior to permit issuance. 5. Sheet AO shows both VA and 1A types of construction in the same building with 1 -hour fire separations. Different types of construction must be separated with fire walls (IBC 602.1, 705). The only provision of the IBC that permits different types of construction to be separated horizontally for the occupancies proposed in this building is IBC 509.2 (see State amendment). Either change the type of construction for the entire building to VA and justify with allowable area and story calcs, or clearly show compliance with IBC 509.2 on the plans. Also, revise Sheet AO information accordingly. 6. Based on the fire separations noted on the plans, it appears you are designing to IBC 508.3.3 for separated uses. Mixed use ratio calculations must also be provided for the building. 7. Stair 1: a. Exit enclosures must exit directly to the outside or to an exit passageway (IBC 1020.1.1, 1018. 1), unless you are intending to use one of the exceptions to IBC 1024.1. Please revise/justify your design. b. The elevator would not be permitted to open into an exit passageway (IBC 1021.4). c. The stair enclosure and elevator shaft must be 2 hour rated since they penetrate 4 floors (IBC 1020.1 & 707.4) d. The fire rating of the stair enclosure must be maintained to the building exit whether it is designed as an exit passageway or a corridor. e. At the angled stair landing, the width of the stair must be provided at the landing with a radius (see enclosed copy from IBC Commentary). Dimension radius on the plans. 8. Stair 2: a. Clarify if P1 and P2 levels exit to one door as shown on the "partial south elevation' or if they exit to two separate doors (doors are labeled 107C and 208C). There is an exit path to the public street shown on A2.2 for Door 208C, but it is unclear how 107C exits to the public way. Sheet A2.2 also notes "egress from above" which also does not make sense. Please clarify. b. Label room 105. IBC 1020.1.1 states that only normally occupied spaces can open into an exit enclosure. 9. Elevator shaft near stair 2 must also be 2 hour fire rated 10. Trash chutes must also be 2 -hour fire rated. See IBC 707.13 for other trash chute and termination room requirements. 11. Clearly note all fire separations on the plans. 12. Since the 4th floor is divided into two areas connected with a bridge, each area must be provided with 2 exits. It does not appear that the exits for the south portion of the 4th floor are space a minimum of 1/3 the overall diagonal distance of the floor. 13. Show the location of the garage exhaust outlets. These openings must be planned for in the PT decks and foundation walls. 14. Deck from Unit 409 appears to extend into the required setback. Please clarify/revise. Page 2 of 3 15. Based on 40 units, 2 must be Type A and the remaining 38 must be Type B. 16. Required exits must be accessible (IBC 1007.1). Clearly show on the plans the accessible exits for each floor and the accessible route. Where areas of refuge, elevators, horizontal exits, or exterior areas of assisted rescue will be used (IBC 1007.2), clearly note on the plans. Where areas of refuge or areas of assisted rescue are used, provide occupant load of exit to determine number of required wheelchair spaces (IBC 1007.6.1). 17. On the site plan show the accessible route from the public way to the main building entrances, and exterior accessible path of travel for exits. Where areas of refuge, elevators, horizontal exits, or exterior areas of assisted rescue will be used (IBC 1007.2), clearly note on the plans. 18. Provide plumbing fixture calculations for the Community Room per WAC 51-50 Chapter 29. 19. On the site plan, the egress path to the public way from stair 3 cannot be obstructed (clarify near PUD transformer). 20. Justify that only one exit is required from the 3T1 floor exit court. 21. To avoid delay of underground plumbing installation, you may want to consider submitting the plumbing plans with the main building permit application so they can be reviewed concurrently. See additional comments from the City's consultant. Provide written responses to each comment and where changes can be found on the planslcalcs. Page 3 of 3 Eagle Eye Consulting Engineers, P.S.
