do not appear to be identified. Please label the stud size, spacing and type of material of
the foundation walls on the plans.

foundation wall and the surrounding dirt grade. The Finish grade slope must also be at a
minimum of 1/2" per foot for the first six feet surrounding the structure. Please add these
notes to the plans.
7. R 403.1 (3) requires flashing to be installed at the top of the foundation wall plywood to
prevent water intrusion. Please add this detail to the plans.
