Project Address: 1052 Alder Street
During a 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, cloud all changes on the revised plans, and submit the revised
plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator. Thank you.
On page A3:
1.Provide a callout for Detail 2 on page G1 for the continuous footings/foundations to guide
proper construction and inspection.
On pages A3 and A4:
2.Clarify the callout for P1-6 shear walls along the braced wall line C on level 1 the north
exterior wall of the Guest Bedroom/Office. The provided structural calculations indicate
P1-4 shear walls at this location.
On page A4:
3.Provide or relocate the required carbon monoxide alarm to the area just outside of the Guest
Bedroom/Office per R315.1.
4.The 150 cfm Whole House Fan in the laundry meets the requirement for continuous use
75 cfm continuous for whole house per Table M1508.2 plus 20 cfm continuous for the
source specific laundry exhaust per Table M1507.3. If operated intermittently (assuming 1
hour of operation every 2 hours) a 200 cfm fan will be required 150 cfm for whole house
plus 50 cfm for the laundry.
5.Clarify the callout for B-3 - #2 Doug-fir 4x10 The roof load does not appear to have been
accounted for in the beam calculations and it is over-spanned.
On page A5:
6.Provide the required safety glazing for the 20x20 window in the closet of Bedroom #3 per
R308.4.2.
Structural Calculations:
7.Clarify the braced wall length along braced wall line B on level 2 the north exterior wall
of the stairwell. The windows reduce the wall length to about 6.5 feet, affecting both shear
and overturning. Often a Force Transfer Around Opening(s) or Perforated Shear Wall
solution will allow the full wall length to be utilized.
8.Clarify the braced wall lengths along braced wall line C on level 2 the north exterior wall
of Bedroom #3. The windows reduce the wall lengths to about 3.3 feet each, affecting both
shear and overturning. Often a Force Transfer Around Opening(s) or Perforated Shear
Wall solution will allow the full wall lengths to be utilized.
