RE: Plan Check: BLD2018-1358
Project Address: 8304 184th St SW
Scope: SFR Remodel - VB construction
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.
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.
This building plan review cannot be completed until we receive the following items:
Sheet A2:
1. New Footing – Size and reinforcing is called out for new footing at east side of the opening
between Existing Living Room and New Dining Room. Please clarify the bearing on the
opposite end of beam.
2. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms – Show smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarms
throughout the residence due to the remodel.
a. All locations shall be hardwired or otherwise connected so an alarm sounding on any
device will cause all other alarms in the house to sound per International Residential
Code (IRC) R314.4.
b. Show one carbon monoxide alarm in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms per IRC
R315.6.
c. Show a smoke alarm in each sleeping room, and outside each separate sleeping in the
