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 1:
1.Indicate the required attachment of the deck ledger to the primary structure per R502.2.2.
Table 502.2.2.1 found on page 5 of the attached MyBuildingPermit handout provides
fastener spacing for a variety of deck configurations and connection criteria.
2.Indicate the required attachment of the deck ledger for lateral loads per R502.2.2.3. Detail
#1/Option #2 found on page 4 of the attached MyBuildingPermit handout provides a
possible means to meet this requirement.
3.Indicate the required bracing at the north beam line to laterally support the deck structure per
R502.2.2. Knee bracing represented in the Post to Beam Connection w/ Knee Brace
detail on page 3 of the attached MyBuildingPermit handout provides a possible means to
meet this requirement. Sway - or diagonal bracing, boards attached with 2-16d nails to
the underside of each deck joist in a diagonal V or W pattern, may also be used to meet
the requirement.
4.Clarify the method to be used to support the north end of the 7-foot long deck joists at the
west end of the deck and the angled, cantilevered joists adjacent the triple-joist.
5.Indicate the framing members and method to be used to construct the mid-level stair landing.
6.Provide a stair section indicating the proposed construction to meet the requirements of
R311.7. The Sample Stair Section, found in Attachment Bof the attached City of
Edmonds handout, illustrates the code requirements.
