Project: Anderson addition/remodel

Project Address: 8112 182 Street 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
including a written response
performed until the revised plans/documents, 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. Items that recur on this list appear in italics.
On sheet 1:
1.Detail 1 Foundation/Main Floor Framing - Indicate on the plans the required construction
to support the loads below the bearing wall along the south side of the Toilet in the
Master Bedroom to guide proper review, construction, and inspection. The 4x6 post
shown on the plans, and noted in the review response, is the required support below the
north end of the girder truss supporting the west ends of the modified existing trusses. The
new foundation is nowhere near the existing wall now used to support the north end of the
special scissor trusses, and that now requires support from the floor framing below. There
does not appear to be a beam below the wall providing the necessary support, or above it,
eliminating the loads being placed on the wall.
2.Detail 2 Lower Floor Plan - Clarify the difference in the number of bedrooms represented
and that noted by the Snohomish County Assessors Office. There does not appear to have
been a permit issued for the addition of a fourth and fifth bedroom. Nothing in this permit
approval process shall be interpreted as allowing or permitting the maintenance of any
currently existing illegal, nonconforming, or unpermitted site condition which is outside the
scope of the permit application, regardless of whether such condition is shown on the
drawing. County records indicate a 3 bedroom with 3 full or ¾ bathroom structure, using
information provided to it by the City of Edmonds. The scope of work under this permit
could be expanded on the application to include the conversion of existing living space for
use as bedrooms to make them official. It appears that many of the life-safety elements for
the new bedrooms are already present or will be addressed as part of this project.
