FROM: Eric Carter, Plans Examiner
RE: Plan Check: BLD2018-0726
Project Address: 950 Mountain Lane
Scope: Interior remodel of SFR, VB Construction, Plumbing and Mechanical
included.
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.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
A2:
1. As indicated on the plans, the shear wall along the hallway wall of bedroom (15) has a
MSTC52 strap at each end which connects to the wall below. When scaled, the straps
appear to attach to the garage man door header (11) and door (4). This installation does
not appear to match the installation requirements of detail 15 on page S1. Additionally,
with the indication of overturning, does the lower wall require hold downs to transfer the
forces to the foundation? Please clarify the location of the MSTC straps and hold down
requirements.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Eric Carter
City of Edmonds
