Project: Demaray addition
th
Project Address: 505 10 Avenue N
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.
General Note Indicate on the plans the option to be selected to achieve the required 0.5 credits per
WSEC R406.
On sheet A-1:
1.General Notes - Change the code year reference from 2009 to 2012 for the following:
a.Note #1
b.Note #4
2.Floor Plan Indicate on the plans the following:
a.The required smoke alarm per R314.
b.The required carbon monoxide alarm per R315.
3.Framing Plan
a.Clarify the callout for the Existing Beams A 2x10 tripled joist to be used to
support the loads from the walls and roof framing above the Office. They appear
to be over spanned, fail in bending, and deflect beyond that allowed per Table
R301.7. The uniform loads used in the provided structural calculations do not appear
to reflect those anticipated by the represented construction and are a bit low. The
wood species used in the provided structural calculations (Douglas Fir-Larch #2) is
different than that noted in the General Structural Notes (Hem Fir #2).
b.Clarify the callout for the HU210-3 joist hanger to be used to support the Existing
Beam A 2x10 tripled joist. Per the manufacturer it appears to be unable to support
the loads anticipated by the represented construction.
c.Indicate on the plans the required connection to support the loads at the ends of the
Existing Beam A 2x10 tripled joist where not specified to guide proper
construction and inspection.
d.Clarify the callout for the Existing Beam B 2x10 tripled joist to be used to
support the loads from the floor, the two Existing Beams A, and the wall and roof
framing above the Office. It appears to be over spanned, fails in bending, and
deflects beyond that allowed per Table R301.7. The uniform loads used in the
provided structural calculations do not appear to reflect those anticipated by the
represented construction and are a bit low. The point load from the east Existing
Beam A does not appear to have been accounted for. The wood species used in the
provided structural calculations (Douglas Fir-Larch #2) is different than that noted in
the General Structural Notes (Hem Fir #2).
On sheet A-2:
4.Section A/1
a. Change the required wall insulation from R-19 to R-21 per WSEC Table
R402.1.1.
b.Indicate on the plans the required sill height of not more than 44 inches measured
from the finished floor to the bottom of the clear opening per R310.1.
