RE: Plan Check # 2014-0741
Project Dairy Queen
7530 212th St SW
Dear Leif,
I am writing in response to your request for addition information regarding the remodel to the
Dairy Queen.
1) I have drawn a site plan and will provide two 24"X36" copies and one 8 1/2" X 11 " copy per
your request. I have indicated on the drawing the new relocated exit door and the drive thru
canopy. There are no other changes to the site other than the removal of the old Dairy
Queen sign that use to extend out from the building and the addition of the stone chimney
facade to be added to the west wall. The chimney facade will not be proud of the existing
wall more than the thickness of the stone itself, approximately 2 1/2" - 3" and the inside wall
will have slate the applied to it over hardy board. The framing required will be to fill in where
two windows were and a box on the roof 2'X 12' to extend the chimney up 3' above the
existing wall for a total height of 18'6" above the sidewalk. There will be no modification to
the existing shear wall.
2) We understand that this building is Type V-A 1 hour construction and I have indicated that on
the plans. We don't anticipate making any changes the the building as our work is limited to
the cosmetic. For example new tile floors, paint inside and out and new furnishings. With
that said, if that should change or we encounter anything about the structure that does not
meet that criteria, we will make corrections.
3) Our dining room design has increased our seating capacity to 58. 1 have marked the new
occupancy group on the site plan as A-2.
4) We will post a sign indicating the capacity at 58 and show its location in the dining room on
the plans.
5) We will be relocating the drink counter/ soda machine in the dining room about 8' to the
north and have indicated its location in the plans.
6) We understand that this building is Type V-A 1 hour construction and I have indicated that
on the plans. We don't anticipate making any changes the the building as our work is limited
to the cosmetic. For example new the floors, paint inside and out and new furnishings. With
that said, if that should change or we encounter anything about the structure that does not
meet that criteria, we will make corrections.
7) We will be installing a new door and it will include panic hardware. I have indicated its
location and its hardware on the drawings.
8) Although I have not seen it, there is a suspended ceiling detail (cloud) hanging from the
existing ceiling. It will be below the grid and ceiling tiles, lighting ,if any, will be passing
through this cloud and hang above the tables. We will be receiving this cloud along with the
furnishings and we will be suspending it from above, probably all-thread secured to the
underside of the roof framing and passing through the acoustic tile ceiling. We have had
these clouds in all of the restaurants we have remodeled in the last few years, but this is the
first job we have not built the clouds ourselves.
9) The hexagonal references found all over the drawings refer to a key indicating the
specifications for materials used. Such as type of paint and color, tile to be used and counter
top materials.
10) The chimney we will be building is not a 2X10 thick wall, in fact we will not be building a wall
at all. We will be applying tile to the inside and stone to the outside. The framing we will be
doing is required to create the top of the chimney above the roof and to fill in where we are
covering two windows to increase the size of the wall to twelve feet in width. We will not be
modifying the shear wall other than to apply stone and the to it.
11) Regarding the eyebrow, apparently there are no structural plans other then what we already
have. I inquired about this and the response was that it is aluminum and very light and is to
be lagged to the building. I am going to use two 1/4" X 6" galvanized lag bolts at each
connection to the building. I'll provide pictures of the other installations in the area (Everett,
Lynnwood, Bothell) which may help with clarification.
12) Regarding the drive thru canopy, apparently there are no structural plans other then what we
already have. I inquired about this and the response was that it is aluminum and very light
and is to be lagged to the building. I am going to use the appropriate size and number of
galvanized lag bolts at each connection to the building. I'll provide pictures of the other
installations in the area (Everett, Lynnwood, Bothell) which may help with clarification.
13) Other then the stone for the chimney, there is no cladding being done on this remodel, paint
only and we will be using Benjamin Moore Aura. We will however be adding Hardy panel
siding to the garbage enclosure as the surface of the block walls are such that they no
longer will except paint.
14) We are not using the Alpolic panels on this remodel only paint.
15) The accessibility in this building seems to be fairly current, however I have noticed a few
things that can be improved on. We will make those improvements to bring the space up to
code.
