RE: Plan Check: BLD2017-1446
Project Address: 21080 88th PL W
Scope: Deck replacement
Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have been disapproved
for the purposes of obtaining a building permit. During a review of the plans by the Building
Division for compliance with the applicable building codes, it was found that the following
information, clarifications, or changes are needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning,
Engineering, or Fire, may result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of
this letter. Items that recur on this list appear in italics.
A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents, including a
written response in itemized letter format indicating where the 'clouded' or otherwise
hi2hli2hted chanus can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit
Coordinator.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2 d Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
General:
1. Lateral load connections are required per IRC 507.2.4. A minimum of 2 connections
with a 1500# capacity within 24" of each end the deck or 4 connections with a minimum
of a 750# capacity are required. Please indicate on the plans.
2. The 4x 10 PT beams, assumed to be HF#2, proposed on the plans are severely
overstressed for the anticipated loads. This beam will need to be of a larger size or
decrease the span, please take into account of a minimum of I OPSF of "dead load" and
60PSF of "live load" when sizing your framing members. Furthermore; per the
requirements of the NDS, wet service and incising factors also apply. Please clarify and
change on the plans.
3. The 2x8 PT joists, assumed to be HF#2, proposed on the plans are severely overstressed
for the anticipated loads. These joists will need to be of a larger size or decrease the
span, please take into account of a minimum of lOPSF of "dead load" and 60PSF of
"live load" when sizing your framing members. Furthermore; per the requirements of the
NDS, wet service and incising factors also apply. Please clarify and change on the plans
4. Detail 3 appears to indicate stair construction details but does not include riser
requirements. Please add the stair riser requirements per IRC R311.7.5.1 to the plans.
5. A graspable handrail per IRC R311.7.8 is also required. Please add the handrail to the
plans.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Eric Carter
