During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the changes can be found
on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a permit coordinator in the Development Services
Department.
General:
1. Please provide a copy of the plan review letter from the Snohomish County Health District.
2. The valuation of $60,000 is noted on the permit application. In accordance with section 109.3 the
applicant shall provide an estimated permit value at the time of application. Permit valuation shall
include total value of work, including material and labor for the permit being issued. By the provided
scope of work on submitted permit application the valuation may be underestimated. Please provide a
detailed estimate of all items (labor and Materials) included in the scope work. If the valuation amount
does change, please be sure to update the required 20% upgrades as noted in CommNet #3.
A-1:
3. The plans indicate that this project is to comply with section 410.7 of the International Existing
Building Code.

B. The alterations require accessibility upgrades for the building per WAC 51.50 (IEBC
410.7). On the plans, either a) clearly show that the interior accessible route of travel
complies with current code, or b) provide upgrades per the previously referenced
section. If you choose to use exception #1 of that section, provide a letter (reference
the code exception), stating the overall project cost, 20% of the project cost, and list
the accessibility upgrades that will be done as part of this permit as well as showing
that the total cost of the upgrades is at least 20%. Show these features on the plans.
For example, the valuation of the project as listed on the permit application is
$60,000, 20% of which is $12000. The code requires that in addition to your basic
construction budget, a minimum of $12000 must be spent on accessible upgrades
unless the space fully complies with accessibility requirements of IEBC 410.7.
Possible features that could be considered for upgrades might include accessible
toilets and sinks, restroom grab bars, door sizes and approach space, etc.
A2:
4. The proposed furniture plans, 3/A2 and enlarged section 1/A3 appear to indicate that there
will be a 4’5” distance from the face of the bar top to the adjacent booths along the southern
windows. In accordance with the IBC 1029.12.1, a minimum of 19”plus the minimum egress
width shall be accounted for. The overall width of 36” for egress plus 19” for the seating, or a
minimum of 55”, the dimensions on the plans do not appear to comply. Please clarify and
change on the plans.
Thank you,
