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.
General Comments
1.A comprehensive geotechnical report, in compliance with section 1803 of the 2012
International Building Code, shall be provided for the above-referenced property.
2.Please be aware that a survey will need to be submitted to verify the location of the structure
on the above-referenced property in relation to the property lines. The survey should also
include the location of the wetlands buffer and the base flood elevation, 286.14.
3.Please complete the special inspection form attached and return it to a permit coordinator
upon resubmittal of the plans.
Sheet 1
4.It appears that window @ W-18W is required to have safety glazing per IRC R308.4. Please
verify. Update the window schedule as required as well.
5.Add a note that all glazing in doors is to be safety glazing.
Sheet 2
6.Clarify how the toilet/wash basin combo unit satisfies the space 21 space requirement at
sinks, as set forth in IRC R307.1. Additionally, verify that the headroom requirements from
IRC R305.1 are satisfied.
Sheet 4
7.Detail 4 shows the roof pitch to be 4/12, typical. However, no 4/12 pitch could be found in
the roof layout below. Please reconcile.
8.Please provide a detail for the connection between beams 32B and 31B. While the notes on
Sheet 8 describe the connection, a drawing will help to guide an accurate and efficient
inspection.
9.Similar to item 17, please provide a detail for the connections between beam 33B and beams
31B and 34B. Also provide a detail for the connection between beam 32B and 34B.
10.The plans show a post below the connection between beams 31B and 33B. However, the
calculation sheet C12 shows that end of beam 33B as cantilevered. In addition, no point
load from the aforementioned post appears on the calculation sheet C19 for beam 56B
below. Please review the calculations and update the drawings as needed.
11.Make a note on Sheet 4: See Sht.7 for engineering key plans and Shts.8 and 9 for
framing and structural notes.
12.Please transfer each of the engineers header and post specifications to the roof framing plan
from the framing notes as was done with the steel beam specifications.
13.Please specify the hangers to be used to hang the floor joists from the steel beams rather than
calling for top flange style hangers.
Sheet 8
14.Provide a detail showing how the 2x nailers will be connected to the steel beams.
15.As mentioned above, details should be provided for the steel beam connections listed in
items 17 and 18.
Sheet 14
16.It appears that the intention was to show the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) where a topo line
is shown at 286.4. The BFE for this area is actually 286.14. Please revise the site plan and
label the corrected top line BFE.
