On pages 2, 3, 4, or 5:
1.Indicate the required safety glazing for the 3.0x4.0 window next to the new 3.0x6.8 exterior
door per 308.4.2. Any part of the glazing within 24 of the vertical edge of the door in a
closed position must be of safety glazing.
On page 4 and 5:
2.Clarify the architectural representation of a fireplace opening into the proposed Mud Room
on the south side of the chimney. Is this an existing firebox to be enclosed by the new wall
construction? Any new firebox needs to meet the requirements of Chapter 10 of the
International Residential Code.
On pages 2 or 6:
3.Indicate the method to be used to protect the wood or wood-based siding, sheathing, and
wall framing from decay. Any of those items less than 6 above grade, or 2 vertically
above the slab exposed to weather, must be naturally durable wood (cedar, redwood, etc.) or
preservative treated wood per R317.1.5. The wall framing can be attached to a concrete
curb poured between each of the existing pressure-treated posts. The curb must be
connected to the existing slab by dowels to keep it in place. A piece of preservative-treated
timber can also be used as a curb if properly attached see provided detail.
