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
highlighted changes 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 2nd Floor of City Hall.

This building plan review cannot be completed until we receive the following items:
General:
1. The installation of Blade signs is regulated in accordance with section H112 of the 2015
IBC. H112 requires projecting signs to attach to the structure with a minimum of 5/8”
diameter bolts or lag screws with expansion shields. Furthermore; the projecting signs
must be secured using a minimum of 3/8’ diameter chains, guys, or steel rods to resist
specified wind pressures. If you do not choose to meet the minimum prescriptive
requirements of section H112 a design by a Washington State licensed Engineer must be
provided. Please address and change on the plans.
