Project: Salinas detached garage
Project Address: 1246 Viewland Way
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 A-2:
1.Floor Plan - Clarify the callout for Method PFH: Portal Frame with Hold-downs for the
required wall bracing along the west wall of the garage. The maximum distance between the
two braced wall panels of a double portal frame is 18 feet per Figure R602.10.3.3, and your
provided detail, 2/A-3. Two portal frames, using the double 2x4 post construction option
in the central 111 wall between the garage doors, could be proposed and would meet the
total required wall bracing for that braced wall line.
2.Roof Plan Clarify the callout for Beams A and B 4x12 HF #2. They appear to be over
spanned. The City of Edmonds requires beam calculations for all beams.
3.Roof Plan Indicate on the plans the required solid bird blocking, or minimum 1 hour fire-
resistance rated construction for the underside of the roof eaves, along the east side of the
structure per Table R302.1.
On page A-2 or A-3:
4.Provide a detail and a reference to it for the required footing/foundation supporting the
Method PFH: Portal Frame with Hold-downs per R602.10.3.3.
5.Wall Section Clarify the double 2x sill represented about one-fourth of the wall height
above the foundation. Breaks in the wall framing studs can have an effect on the ability of
the structure to withstand wind loads.
6.Wall Section Indicate on the plans the required minimum foundation reinforcement per
R403.1.3. The detail represents a construction joint between the concrete footing and stem
wall.
