Subject: Doug’s Hyundai (Non-structural Review)
Permit: BLD19-0120
Per your request, Beck & Associates has completed a 2nd non-structural review of the drawings and calculations for conformance with the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), as adopted
and amended by the State of Washington (WSA) and the City of Edmonds (ECC).
Our review of the plans and calculations indicates that corrections are necessary prior to permit issuance. The applicant should address the following comments in itemized letter format
in addition to making corrections & revisions to the drawings. Corrections and revisions to the drawing should be clouded so that they are clearly identifiable.

Drawing Sheets
A2.0 – Existing Floor Demo Plans, Occupancy and Exiting Diagrams
Reference the Plumbing Analysis
The analysis should be completed to demonstrate that the combined fixture counts for the occupancies on each level are met. For calculations involving multiple occupancies, as is the
case here, fractional numbers for each occupancy should first be summed and then rounded up to the next whole number. Our calculations indicate that adequate fixtures will be provided.
However, this needs to be documented in the standard manner prescribed by the code. 2902.1.1
Provide an analysis for the required number of lavatories in each of the restrooms. This is done in a similar way as for toilet fixtures. However, the required ratios may be different.
2902.1
Although the applicant indicates that two drinking fountains were provided on sheet A2.1, they were not provided. This item remains to be addressed.
Two drinking fountains are required to be provided for this project, one for people who use wheelchairs, and one for standing persons. Update the plans to show the location of the drinking
fountains, clear floor space, fountain height, etc. Please be aware that the code does not recognize water bottle stations, coffee stations, or cafes as substituting for the required
plumbed drinking fountains. 1109.5, 2902.5.1; ICC A117.1-09, 602.2, 602.4, 305
Please contact me should you have any questions.
