RE: Plan Check: 2012-1024
Project: Simpson SFR
Project Address: 626 Maple 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 S2:
1.Clarify the callout for the 36x36x8 spread footing (Key No. 4.3) to be used to support the
point loads at the ends of two 5-1/4x11-7/8 2.0 PSL beams (Key No. 2.7) above the Great
Room it appears to be under-sized. The loads noted on page 36 of the provided structural
calculations at that location do not appear to take into account the north end of the girder
truss shown in the roof truss layout submitted in response to earlier plan review comments.
On page S3:
2.Clarify the callout for the #2 DF 6x12 beams (Key No. 2.9) to be used to support the loads
over the three garage door openings they appear to be over spanned. The tributary loads
noted on page 23 and 28 of the provided structural calculations at those locations do not
reflect the dimensions noted for floor span, roof span/roof overhang, or take into account the
roof framing/hip-master shown in the roof truss layout submitted in response to earlier plan
review comments.
3.Clarify the callout for the 5-1/4x11-7/8 2.0 PSLs (Key No. 2.7) to be used to support the
loads over the Great Room and Dining Room. The spans and loads noted on page 23, 26,
and 30 of the provided structural calculations do not reflect the dimensions noted for floor
span, roof span/roof overhang, or take into account the roof framing/girder truss shown in
the roof truss layout submitted in response to earlier plan review comments. Provide
separate calculation for each of the beams.
On page S4:
4.Clarify the callout for the #2 HF 4x6 beams (Key No. 2.3) to be used to support the roof over
the deck where the spans are greater than 86. On the north and south sides there are spans
greater than 86 and the beams appear to fail.
5.Indicate on the plans the required beam to be used to support the roof framing/hip-master
(shown in the roof truss layout submitted in response to earlier plan review comments) over
the west-most 4.0x4.0 window in the south wall of the Adventure Room.
