RE: Plan Check: 2009-0297 & 0298
Project: Olympic Spine
Project Address: 22019 Highway 99
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 a Permit Coordinator.
1.The floor plan submitted does not match the layout of the existing space according to City
records. There are several significant variances in what is shown to be existing as compared to
previously approved layouts. For example, the front lobby is not shown, the X-ray room is
shown as a treatment room and the full-sized accessible mens and womens rooms in the
Olympic space do not appear as they were approved in the plans for permit number 2002-0424.
Please verify that the plans reflect the correct layout of the existing space and that the previously
permitted work has been completed. You may request to view public documents if needed.
2.Please include code analysis information on the plans including the type of construction,
occupant load calculations for both tenant spaces and exit path of travel.
3.Show dimensions on the floor plan for the areas being altered.
4.Please indicate on the plans the location of Exit signs and emergency lighting. IBC 1011.2 and
1006.
5.Please indicate the type of door hardware to be used, particularly at the doors into the
restroom/shared lunch room space. Note that these doors must be openable without a key or
special knowledge or effort. IBC 1008.1.8
6.Provide details for the suspended ceiling.
7.The alterations require accessibility upgrades per WAC 51.50 (IBC 3409.7). On the plans
clearly show that the entire exterior and interior accessible route of travel complies with current
code, or provide upgrades per the previously referenced section. If you choose to use exception
#1 of that section, provide a letter stamped and signed by the architect (reference the code
exception), stating the overall project cost, 20% of the project cost, and list the accessibility
upgrades that will be done as part of this permit as well as showing that the total cost of the
upgrades is at least 20%.
