RE: Plan Check: 2014-1166
Project: Whirlyball Awning
Project Address: 23401 Highway 99
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.
1.Please clarify the dimension of the roof overhang, from the support beam to the outer edge of the
roof. There are discrepancies within the plan set, i.e. the site plan shows the overhang as included in
the 10 foot dimension, yet the details and elevations show the beam line at 10 feet. Please add
dimensions sufficient to clearly identify the distance from the building to the beam line and the length
of rafter overhang beyond the beam.
2.Please clarify the actual dimensions of the glu-lam beams. The plan shows 4x8 but this is not a
commonly available size for glu-lams. Without the net size of the beams (and the dimension of the
roof overhang as in the previous item) I am unable to verify the sufficiency of the beams. Please also
verify that the selected size will be adequate to support the design load of the roof.
3.In detail A-1 on sheet S-1, the post holder part number is not legible.
4.In detail A-1 on sheet S-1, the 12 inch wide footings appear to be too small. Please either increase the
width of the footings or increase the number of support columns to decrease the design load on each
footing.
5.In detail A-4, specify the spacing of the ½ x 7 anchor bolts attaching the roof ledger to the concrete
wall.
6.Specify in the details a rafter clip tying the rafters to the beams.
7.Indicate on the plans that the 4x6 columns are pressure treated (since they will be exposed to the
weather.)
