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 4:
1.Indicate on the plans the required vehicle protection for the water heater and the furnace per
UPC 508.14 and M1307.3.1.
2.Indicate on the plans the required emergency escape and rescue opening (egress) for the
bedroom located north of the Living Room per R310.1.1. The Front Elevation on page 1
depicts a single-hung window that may not meet the clear opening requirements.
3.Indicate on the plans the means to be used for the installation of the furnace and water heater
located in the bathroom north of the Kitchen/Dinette to comply with G2406.2.
On pages 4 and 5:
4.Clarify the callout for the STHD14 holdowns at each end of the braced walls along the
Lower Front braced wall line. Per the manufacturer the holdowns are unable to meet the
tension loads noted on page 7 of the provided structural calculations at those locations.
5.Clarify the callout for the HDU5/SDS2.5 holdowns at each end of the braced walls along the
Lower Left braced wall line. Per the manufacturer the holdowns are unable to meet the
tension loads noted on page 8 of the provided structural calculations at those locations.
6.Clarify the callout for the HDU2/SDS2.5 holdowns at each end of the braced walls along the
north-south Lower Interior braced wall line. Per the manufacturer the holdowns are unable
to meet the tension loads noted on page 8 of the provided structural calculations at those
locations.
On page 5:
7.Indicate on the plans the required footings to support the point load from the girder truss
above the west side of the Master Bedroom see page 6 of the building plans.
8.Clarify the callout for 1-3/4x11-1/4 Parallams to be used as floor joists over the garage. The
minimum width of a Parallam is 3-1/2 inches per the manufacturer. The provided structural
calculations appear to indicate the use of Microllams (LVLs) at that location.
