RE: Plan Check #2008-0452
Project: Old Woodway Park
Project Address: 9521 240th St. SW
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
submit 2 sets of revised plans/documents (affected sheets only) to Marie Harrison, Permit Coordinator.
The facility (site) and building must be barrier free accessible per IBC 1109.14.3.
1. The trails and exercise areas must be barrier free accessible for slope, width and surface material:
a. Dimension the width of the trails at various locations or where changes in width are made.
b. The trail surface must be smooth, stable and firm. Provide manufacturer's information on FIBAR
showing that it meets this requirement. (ICC/ANSI A117.1 (2003) Section 302)
c. Clearly show that the slope of the trails do not exceed 1:20 (5%), for example between stations 192.
ICC/ANSI A 117.1 section 403.3
2. Provide detail of drinking fountain (one must be accessible and one must be standard height) at each location. See
ICC/ANSI Al 17.1 section 602 for accessible drinking fountain requirements. The Spec book (02870-3.16 notes to
install as shown in the details, and the plans (sheet L1.0 refer to the Spec book).
3. On Sheet L1.0, clearly show the location of the handrails on both sides of the terrace stairway (IBC 1009.10 &
ICC/ANSI A117.1 Section 505.2.
4. Detail 6/L5-0: revise handrail extension at top of stair to extend a minimum of 12" beyond the tread nosing (IBC
1012 & ICC/ANSI Al 17.1 Section 505.2)
5. Note on L1.0 that the accessible seating must be provided at the picnic tables (at least 5% but not less than one of
the seats must be accessible) at meet ICC/ANSI Al 17.1 section 902 for height and clear floor space (including knee
and toe clearances).
6. Under plumbing notes on Sheet A2.1, clarify "island type" venting on the plans. Will this be a loop vent per UPC
909.0? or a conventional vent through the roof? An air admittance valve is not permitted. Revise 4/A8.1 as well.
7. Special inspections are required for the Shelter as noted on Sheets S 1.2 and S 1.3:
a. Soils
b. Concrete Construction
c. Wood Construction
d. Steel Construction
e. Epoxy and Expansion Anchors
Complete the enclosed Special Inspection and Testing Agreement, One agreement is required for each special
inspection firm (e.g. geotechnical engineer for soil inspections and WABO Certified for structural inspections).
Have all parties sign the agreements and return to the Permit Coordinator for Building Division approval prior to
permit issuance.
