Good Morning Kristin,
12-6-2019
Please see the attached supplemental structural calculation for the Ritter Residence. Looks
like I upsized after I completed the calcs to make room for the hangers from both
sides. Certainly doesn't seem like it warrants its own calculation but ok! :) The response to
the letter should read something along the lines of:
"Reference attached supplemental structural calculation for 412 beams.
As I mentioned previously - the complete structural drawing set included the plans, so
perhaps include the stamped plans in the resubmittal, and then there should be no reason
for a structural stamp on any architectural sheets. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks so much!

RE: Plan Check: BLD20191376
Project Address: 719 Caspers St
Scope: Seal Basement and remodel adding one bedroom in attic space
Thank you for submitting your plans to the City of Edmonds for review. We have completed an
initial review of the project mentioned above. For this project to move forward a few items will
need to be addressed.
Once a revised set of plans, including a written response to the list of the items contained in this
letter are resubmitted, we can complete the review. Some items may require a review by other
divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire and will be noted as such.
Resubmittals can 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.
To complete the review the following items will need to be addressed:

perpendicular to the direction of travel shall be not less than the width of the flight served.
2. Please include a handrail detail that addresses the requirements of R311.7.8 Handrails.

pipes will be protected from freezing. Also include any boring or drilling, if any, being done

show a CO alarms on the main floor, Upper floor or the basement. Combination Smoke/CO
alarms are an acceptable option.

Because this is an accessible space through the "tiny access" there are minimum sizes for the
access and fire blocking concerns throughout that space if required.

Include a detail of this "Barrier". Please assure the design complies with

other fans in the house.
9. Unable to locate the calculations for "4xl2" beam on the "upper floor/lower roof' detail,

require the EOR to stamp those also. Please have the EOR review and stamp the appropriate
pages.
