The following is an itemized response to the corresponding comments in the above referenced letter. These
response are limited to the architectural related items only. Response to other comments is by others.
1. Window/Skylight/Door Schedule
a. Indicate on the plans the required safety glazing for the following windows:
i. Marked 'W22' - per IRC R308.4.2.
Ii. Marked 'W57' - per IRC R308.4.2.
Glazing schedule revised to show safety glazing at windows'W22' and 'W57'.
b. Clarify on the plans the difference in the indicated width of the window marked 'W47' and
of that represented on sheets V.1' and 'S2.2', and depicted on sheet V.1'.
The window size for'W47' is correctly called out on the window schedule and accurately
shown on sheet 'A3.1'. The opening represented on V.1' and'S2.2' has been revised to
reflect the true size/location of the opening.
2. Basement Level Plan

Note #12 has been revised to read that all smoke detectors are going to be combination
detectors, monitoring smoke and carbon monoxide.

M1507.4.
IRC M1507.4 does not require local exhaust in Laundry rooms. An exhaust fan has been
added to the Laundry room per your recommendation, but we would like to pursue

'A2.3') - Clarify the specified location of the dryer duct termination. It does not appear to coincide
with that anticipated by the represented construction. Dryer duct installations must meet the
