RE: Plan Check: BLD2015-0723
Project: Wells Addition
Project Address: 1228 Coronado Place S.
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.
Sheet A6
1.For consistency, please label each shear wall with the appropriate designation, specifically
those shear walls along the rear wall.
2.Include a smoke detector outside of and in the vicinity of bedroom 5 (in addition to the one
shown within the bedroom) per IRC R314.
Sheet A7
3.Specify the sizes of the house-side posts supporting beams 8 (2 locations), the connectors to
be used at those locations.
4.Beam 9 is specified as HF#1 in the calculations, but the plans call for HF#2. Verify.
Sheet A8
5.Specify the hangers to be used at the low roof trusses and at the floor joists to be hung from
beam 3, or provide a detail for both.
6.It appears that the cantilevered floor joists are missing the concentrated loads at the
cantilever end accounting for the low roof, wall and upper roof supported by those joists
outside of the 10 header above. Please verify the joists adequacy with the addition of those
loads. In addition, specify the rim joist to be used and verify its adequacy to support the
point loads generated by the 10 header above.
7.Provide a detail for the low roof/rim connection at the cantilever end of the cantilevered
joists.
8.Verify header 2 and the adjacent 4x10 header after reconsidering the loading at floor joist 5,
per comment 6 above.
Sheet A9
9.For consistency, please label each shear wall with the appropriate designation.
10.Specify the post sizes required to support the girder truss, and the headers supporting the
scissor hip girder truss. The reaction loads at those locations appear to exceed the capacity
of a (2) 2x6 post.
