RE: Plan Check: 2013-0914 2 review
Project: Deck Remodel
th
Project Address: 8424 216 St SW
During 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, and submit revised plans/documents to a permit coordinator in the Development Services
Department. Thank you. New comments appear in italics.
1.Previous item #2. Provide a deck framing plan (overhead plan view) showing the size and
layout/spacing of all deck joists, beams, columns, stair framing, footings, etc. See the submittal
requirements in the previously provided deck handout. None of the pages in the last submittal
provide this information. Also, please label the pages as appropriate (Deck Framing Plan, Roof
Framing Plan, Site Plan, etc.)
2.Previous item #3. Indicate the type of decking on the drawings. This was discussed at the permit
center counter but does not appear on the plans.
3.Previous item #4. Provide a roof framing plan (overhead plan view) showing the size, species and
layout of all framing members, and how they are connected. Indicate the slope of the roof, and the
materials to be used for sheathing and roofing. This item has not been addressed.
4.Previous item #6. It appears from the photo that the posts supporting the roof bear mainly on the
single rim joist. This is not prescriptive framing and may need additional support, or an engineered
design to justify the configuration. This item has not been addressed. However, at the permit center
counter, the concept of installing a double deck joist under each post above was discussed, and may
be a viable solution to this lack of sufficient bearing for the posts. Please show the intended design
on the Deck Framing Plan.
5.Several of the pages submitted are not legible due to the poor quality of the photocopy. Please
ensure that all documents are legible.
6.To date, we have not received a viable set of plans that allow sufficient review of the project. Please
consider the option of hiring a designer or draftsman that can assist you in producing the
construction documents necessary to facilitate the review.
7.Once complete plans are submitted, further review comments may arise if code deficiencies are
noted.
