Project Address: 8127 215 Place SW
During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.
On page 2:
1.Clarify the use of the pressure-treated premium #2 Hem-Fir 4x8s to support the loads from
the deck joists. They appear to be over spanned and will fail in bending and deflect beyond
that allowed per Table R301.7 when subject to the design loads. Shortening the distance
between supports (posts) below each beam by providing an additional post at about mid-
span would be one means of addressing this. Alternatively, the beams could be replaced
with a deeper member, such as a 4x12.
Indicate on the plans the means to be used to address the above.
