RE: Plan Check: BLD2018-1218 — 1" review
Project Address: 22824 1 00th Avenue W
Project: Anytime Fitness mechanical system
Scope: HVAC and exhaust system for fitness facility — separated Assembly Group
A-3 occupancy — 112 occupants — VB construction — NFPA 13 sprinkler system —
plumbing, fire sprinkler, fire alarm, etc. under separate permits
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
hit!hliphted chanaes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit
Coordinator. Only those sheets specifically referenced as follows need to be resubmitted.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2 d Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
General plan review comment:
Provided Load 1. Provide as part of a complete permit application submittal design load calculations required
Calculations to size the heating/cooling equipment per Washington State Energy Code (WSEC)
C403.2.2.
Mechanical plan 2. Provide as part of a complete permit application submittal a drawing representing the
showing zoning and separate heating/cooling zones served by each piece of equipment, thermostat, and the
exhaust has been ductwork serving them. It should also represent the means to be used to provide the exhaust
submitted by others airflow rates for the restrooms and the storage/utility area per International Mechanical Code
under
BLD20181417. See (IMC) Table 403.3. 1.1 and the dryer exhaust per IMC Section 504.
note 8 on M-1
On sheet I of 1:
3. Room Outside Air Vent. Requirements
a. Room Classification — Clarify on the plans the following room (occupancy)
classifications used to determine the minimum ventilation rates per IMC Table
403.3.1.1.
This was a typo. Revised OSA * Dayeare - There does not appear to be a 'dayeare' use indicated on the
calcs to show off ice space type. approved plans for the tenant improvement under pen -nit BLD2_0 18-0864. In
addition, the 'occ. Num' and the 'CFM/person' does not appear to correspond
with that typical for the use per IMC Table 403.3. 1. 1.
Revised to reflect plans a Health Club / Weight Room — There appears to be other/different health club
from BLD2018-0864 uses proposed on the plans for permit BLD2018-0864. Of particular concern
are those activities/equipment (treadmills, cycle trainers, etc.) that result in
higher respiratory rates, similar to that of aerobics.
b. Room Area — Clarify on the plans the indicated square footage of the following areas
used to determine the minimum ventilation rates per IMC Table 403.3. 1. 1.
This was a typo. Revised OSA 0 Daycare — The indicated area is almost half of the total tenant space, far more
calcs. than that of the non -fitness areas represented on the plans for permit
BLD2018-0864. The area indicated for 'RTU-6' should only be that served
by that equipment and its duetwork.
Updated OSA calcs to reflect 9 Health Club / Weight Room — The indicated areas are, cumulatively, more
zoning plan and occupant than 1200 square feet larger than the fitness areas represented on the plans for
load plan. permit BLD2018-0864. The areas indicated for each piece of equipment
should only be that served by each unit and its ductwork.
Update the information on the provided table in response to the above plan review
comments.
Updated notes '1' and c. Notes '1' and '2' —Change on the plans the code regulating the fresh air
requirements and the determination of the occupant loads from 'Washington State
Energy Code' to 'IMC Table 403.3. 1. 1'.
4. Package Rooftop Heat Pump
Updated OSA CFM to a. OSA CFM — Update the information for each of the units in response to plan review
match fixed OSA calcs comments '3.a-c'.
b. Notes
Removed note i. Note 3 - Clarify on the plans the applicability of 'Note 3' for each of the
units. None of the units appear to utilize fuel gas.
See notes 1 and 6 ii. Note 5 — Add to the note on the plans the requirements that the modulating
OSA and return dampers are configured to provide up to 100% OSA for
cooling and to automatically reduce the outdoor air intake to the minimum
ventilation rate complying with IMC Table 403.3. 1. 1 when the outdoor air
will no longer reduce cooling energy usage per WSEC C403.3.1 and
C403.3.3.
See notes 11 and 12 iii. Note 6 — Add to the note on the plans the required capability and
configuration of the existing thermostats to meet the requirements of WSEC
C403.2.4.
See note 2 iv. Note 7 — Change on the plans the referenced table regarding the minimum
efficiency requirements of the equipment from 'C403.2.3 (I)A' to 'WSEC
C403.2.3(2)'.
Page 2 of 3
v. Note 8 — Add to the note on the plans the required installation of a thermostat
that does not allow simultaneous heating and cooling in the same zone, has
multiple cooling stage capability that will activate the economizer when
appropriate as the first stage of cooling, and can adjust the equipment start
time required to bring the area served up to the design temperature just prior
to the scheduled occupancy of the area, per WSEC C403.2.4. 1.
Added structural 5. Roof Plan
attachment a.
Provide on the plans details, and references to them, specifying the minimum
details to M-2
required attachment (equipinent-to-curb/curb-to-roof) of each of the units to resist
lateral loads per American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7-16, Chapter 13. The
sections/details, found in the structural calculations prepared by PCS Structural
Solutions — Project 18-646, must be incorporated into these plans to guide proper
construction and inspection of the following:
' Section 3', found on page 4
'Section 5', found on page 6
'Section 7', found on page 8
Structural calculations have
Other drawings/sections/details contained in the structural calculations intended to
been sent to the GC in
represent/specify those structural elements required to be altered and/or added to the
order to submit a revision
on BLD2018-0864
roof framing to support the mechanical equipment (such as each 'Roof Framing
Plan' and the sections referenced therein) must be added as a revision to the plans for
permit BLD2018-0864.
Roof plan now points to b.
Change on the 'Roof Plan' the locations of the equipment attachment and roof
M-2 as the location of
framing upgrade details referenced in the notes to that designated for those items
the attachment details
provided in response to plan review comment '5.a.
c.
General Notes — Note 3 - Change in the note the location of the roof framing
plan/upgrade details from 'structural calculations' to 'approved plans for BLD2018-
