Project Address: 19129 84 Avenue W
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.Roof plan view Clarify the use of the 4x8 beams used to support the roof rafters. They appear
to be over spanned and would fail when subjected to the design snow load. The use of knee
braces as shown on the Elevation view could provide additional support but must be firmly
attached see review note #4.
2.Roof plan view Clarify the use of 2x6 roof rafters. They appear to be over spanned and would
fail when subjected to the design snow load. The blocking shown at approximately 36-48 on-
center do not provide enough benefit to span the distance indicated.
3. Roof plan view Clarify the purpose of the new 4x4 treated post indicated on the right side of
the drawing. Is it supporting an additional girder/beam not shown on the plans?
4.Elevation view Provide an attachment detail/description for the connections at each end of the
knee braces supporting the 4x8 roof girders. The Post to Beam Connection w/ Knee Brace
detail found on page 3 of the attached MyBuildingPermit.com handout provides a possible
means to meet this requirement. If properly attached, the knee braces will allow 4x8 roof girders
to be used to support the design snow load see review note #1.
5.Elevation view Provide additional framing details/information for the construction of the deck.
If framed similarly to the deck cover (spans of girders and joists), the 4x6 beams and 2x10 joists
will fail when subjected to the design live load.
6.Elevation view - Indicate on the plans 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.com
handout provides a possible means to meet this requirement.
