RE: Plan Check: BLD2015-0545
Project: Clark Remodel
Project Address: 801 Caspers 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 can be assumed that new beam will be supported at one end by the existing post.
However the other end of the new beam will produce a new point load in a new location.
Please clarify how the aforementioned new point load will be supported, and verify that
there is a footing/foundation below for bearing.
2.Please note that all smoke detectors must be interconnected and hard wired during the
course of this remodel per IRC R314. Additionally, carbon monoxide detectors must be
installed per IRC R315.
3.Please note that any insulated element which is disturbed during construction must have the
insulation upgraded to the current specifications set forth in the Washington State Energy
Code Table 402.1.1.
