RE: Plan Check: BLD2014-1121
Project: Accessory Building
Project Address: 18416 High Street
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.
1.It appears that both the 2x12 ridge beam and the (2) 2x12 window header supporting the
ridge beam are overstressed. Please provide beam calculations for both.
2.The plans show a shear wall schedule, but the shear wall listed is not called out on the
structural plan. The structural plan specifies braced wall assemblies. Please remove the
shear wall schedule and include details for the prescriptive assemblies specified.
3.Per IRC R403.1.2, a continuous footing is required for exterior braced wall panels in
Seismic Zone D2. Please indicate a continuous footing on the plans.
4.Please specify the beam/foundation connection for the north-south floor beam as was
specified for the east-west floor beam.
5.Provide the connection specifications between the roof outrigger elements and the ridge
beam.
