RE: Plan Check: BLD2015-0641
Project: OMalley SFR
Project Address: 754 Bell 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.
On sheet A-3:
1.Upper Floor Framing Plan
a.Provide a detail on the plans, and a reference to it, for the required construction of
the wall-to-wall connection referenced in the Comments column of the Holdown
Schedule on sheet A-6 for the holdown marked T-2 HDQU11-SDS2.5.
b.Clarify the difference in the callout for the Simpson Strong-Wall Shearwalls
marked SSW24 along wall line B and the referenced installation details 9/SW2
and 11/SW2. Simpson Strong-Wall Shearwalls identified as SSWxx are Steel
Strong-Wall Shearwalls and the information on sheet SW2 is for the installation of
Wood Strong-Wall Shearwalls.
On sheet A-4:
2.Upper Floor Plan Change the section reference for the balcony walking surface
construction from AA/A6 to B-B/A-9.
3.Roof Framing Plan Clarify the note 2x6 outriggers w/2x6 sub-fascia (see section for
detail) to be used for the upper level roof framing. The construction specified in Section
B-B @ Garage appears to be for use with I-joist framing members. Provide on the plans
an additional detail to be used with the manufactured trusses or have the overhang
incorporated into the roof truss design.
4.Upper Floor Plan and Roof Framing Plan - Clarify the difference in the placement of the
window marked 20 and of that represented on the East Elevation on sheet A-7, and
noted in the provided structural calculations.
5.Glazing Schedule
a.Clarify the difference in the width of the window marked 8 and of that represented
on the Main Floor Plan and the Upper Floor Framing Plan on sheet A-3, and
noted in the provided structural calculations.
b.Clarify the difference in the width of the sliding glass door marked 17 and of that
represented on the Upper Floor Plan and the Roof Framing Plan on sheet A-4.
c.Clarify the difference in the width of the window marked 23 and of that
represented on the Upper Floor Plan and the Roof Framing Plan on sheet A-4,
and noted in the provided structural calculations.
On sheet A-5:
6.First Floor Framing Plan
a.Clarify the difference in the width of the cantilevered portion of the first floor
framing below the north wall of the Living room and of that noted on sheet A-3
Main Floor Plan and Upper Floor Framing Plan.
b.Indicate on the plans the required posts to support the compression loads below each
end of the of the shearwalls marked SSW24 along wall line B on sheet A-3
Upper Floor Framing Plan.
c.Indicate on the plans the minimum required posts to support the loads below each
end of beam FB-1 5.26x16 2.0E PSL.
d.Indicate on the plans the required hanger or construction to support the loads at the
north end of beam FB-3 3.5x11.875 2.05E PSL.
e.Clarify the callout for the 2-2x6 post to be used to support the loads below the
converging ends of beams FB-7 3.5x11.875 2.05E PSL - and FB-8 3.5x9.5
2.05E PSL. It appears to be undersized for the loads noted in the provided structural
calculations.
f.Clarify the callout for detail 1/A5 Holdown Floor to Floor to be used with the
holdown marked T-3 HDQ8-SDS3 - to complete the connection to resist the
overturning uplift through the first floor framing. Per the manufacturer, the holdown
does not appear to be able to develop the tension load noted in the provided
structural calculations from the shear wall marked SW3 along wall line 1 on the
west wall of the Kitchen on sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan.
7.Detail 1/A5 - Clarify the callout for the framing members to be used for the attachment of
the holdown marked T-3 HDQ8-SDS3. Per the manufacturer, it appears that a very
specific wood member thickness and species of wood be used to develop the tension load
noted in the provided structural calculations.
On sheet A-6:
8.Foundation Plan
a.Indicate on the plans the required widened footings to support the loads below each
end of beam FB-1. The typical footing in detail 1/A6 appears to be undersized
for the loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
b.Clarify the callout for the 30x30x12 widened footing to be used to support the
loads below the west ends of beams RB-2 5.25x14 2.05E PSL FB-11
3.5x11.875 2.05E PSL and FB-4 7x14 2.05E PSL. It appears to be undersized
for the cumulative loads noted in the provided structural calculations.

c.Indicate on the plans the required widened footing to be used to support the loads
below the east ends of beams RB-2 5.25x14 2.05E PSL FB-11 3.5x11.875
2.05E PSL FB-4 7x14 2.05E PSL and the west end of the SSW24 along
wall line B at the west end of the north wall of the Living Room on sheet A-3
Upper Floor Framing Plan. The typical footing in detail 1/A6 appears to be
undersized for the loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
d.Indicate on the plans the required widened footing to be used to support the loads
below the west end of beam FB-13 5.25x16 2.05E PSL and the east end of the
SSW24 along wall line B at the west end of the north wall of the Living Room
on sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan. The typical footing in detail 1/A6
appears to be undersized for the loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
e.Indicate on the plans the required widened footing to be used to support the loads
below the west end of beam FB-12 3.5x9.5 2.05E PSL FB-3 3.5x11.875
2.05E PSL and the east end of the SSW24 along wall line B at the east end of
the north wall of the Kitchen on sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan. The
typical footing in detail 1/A6 appears to be undersized for the loads noted in the
provided structural calculations.
f.Indicate on the plans the required widened footing to be used to support the loads
below the west end of beam FB-10 3.5x11.875 2.05E PSL and the west end of
the SSW24 along wall line B at the east end of the north wall of the Kitchen on
sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan. The typical footing in detail 1/A6
appears to be undersized for the loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
g.Clarify the callout for the holdown marked T-3 HDQ8-SDS3 to be used to
complete the overturning uplift restraint from the south end of the shear wall marked
SW-3 along wall line 1 on the west wall of the Kitchen on sheet A-3 Upper
Floor Framing Plan. Per the manufacturer, it does not appear to develop the tension
load noted for that wall in the provided structural calculations and represented
construction on the plans.
h.Clarify the location identified for the installation of the holdown marked T-4
STHD14/14RJ to be used as anchorage to resist overturning uplift at the east end of
the 16 foot long SW-3 shearwall along wall line B. It does appear to be at the end
of the shearwall as anticipated.
i.Indicate on the plans the required anchorage to resist overturning uplift at each end
of the shearwall marked SSW24 along wall line B at the east end of the north
wall of the Living Room on sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan.
j.Indicate on the plans the required anchorage to resist overturning uplift at the east
end of the shearwall marked SSW24 along wall line B at the west end of the
north wall of the Living Room on sheet A-3 Upper Floor Framing Plan.
k.Clarify the note w/threaded rod to SSW above associated with the callout for the
holdowns marked T-4 STHD14/14RJ to be used as anchorage to resist
overturning uplift at the each end of the 4 foot long shearwall along wall line B.
Per manufacturer, there does not appear a method supporting such an installation.
l.Clarify the callout for the holdowns marked T-4 STHD14/14RJ to be used as
anchorage to resist overturning uplift at each end of the shearwalls along wall line
B. Per the manufacturer, the holdowns do not appear to be able to develop the
tension loads noted in the provided structural calculations.

9.Holdown Schedule
a.Clarify the callout for the holdown marked T-2 HDQU11-SDS2.5. Per the
manufacturer, it appears that it is no longer available and there is quite a difference
in the allowable tension loads when attached to a 6x6 for those similarly identified.
b.Indicate on the plans the required framing members to be used for the attachment of
the holdown marked T-3 HDQ8-SDS3. Per the manufacturer, it appears that a
very specific wood member thickness and species of wood be used to develop the
tension loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
c.Indicate on the plans the required minimum grade of all-thread rod to be used to
connect the holdowns marked T-3 HDQ8-SDS3 and complete the overturning
uplift restraint from the shear walls above.
10.Detail 1/A6 Garage Foundation Wall
a.Indicate on the plans the required minimum dimensions of the footing and
foundation.
b.Indicate on the plans the required footing and foundation wall reinforcement and its
spacing.
On sheet A-8:
11.North Elevation
a.Clarify the difference in the width of the large, center window of the Living Room
and of that represented on sheet A-3 - Main Floor Plan and Upper Floor Framing
Plan, and noted in the provided structural calculations.
b.Clarify the difference in the width of the cantilevered portion of the first floor
framing below the north wall of the Living room and of that noted on sheet A-3
Main Floor Plan and Upper Floor Framing Plan.
