RE: Plan Check 4 2008-0031
Project: Michel 7 Unit Condominium
Project Address: 316 Walnut Street
Below are combined comments from the City's plan review consultant and myself. Provide written
responses to each comment and where changes can be found on the plans. Please resubmit to
Theresa Umbaugh, Permit Coordinator.
1. Sheet P1:
a. Notes 16, 17, 18: Provide separate total floor areas for the building floor area, decks
and patios.
b. Note 19: State the actual type of mechanical system proposed (ie. force air furnace,
hydropic (in floor, radiant wall units), etc.).
c. Note 21: Based on the floor areas noted on this sheet, the occupant load of the
basement floor should be 32 (both parking and residential have a factor of 200) —
IBC Table 1004.1. 15t floor should be 30 including decks, 2nd floor should be 32, 3`d
floor should be 30. Please revise.
d. Note 41: Revised ICC/ANSI Al 17 edition to 2003 instead of 1998.
e,. Note 43: See below for list of required special inspections.
f. Note 44: List separate permits and deferred submittals for this project so that it is
clear what work will be issued under this permit. Common items are plumbing,
mechanical, fire sprinkler, fire alarm, State electrical, State elevator, listed and tested
firestopping assemblies, shop drawings (truss cut sheets and layout, I joist layout,
etc.), etc.
g. Note 46: Revise to note requirements of firestopping per IBC 712.
2. Sheet A2:
a. Revise Ul occupancy noted at floor areas to S2 (or remove occupancy reference).
b. Clarify plans to show location and extent of interior garage walls.
c. Label the long gray rectangles and large squares on the plan.
d. Dimension the accessible parking stall (minimum 8'-0" wide stall with 5'-0"
adjacent access aisle that runs the full length of the stall). The column between the
stall and access aisle obstructs use of the access aisle. Vehicles have different types
of access requirements, therefore the column cannot obstruct access to the 5'-0"
access aisle.
e. Dimension the finished clear width of the corridor.
f. Dimension the clear width of the stairway and landings.
g. Dimension minimum 18" accessible maneuvering clearance on the push side of the
door to the access aisle.
h. Show/dimension 12" minimum top and bottom handrail extensions (except where
handrail is continuous).
L Note the stairway rise and run. Detail N/A13 notes that it is per plan, but nothing is
provided. It might be on the stair notes on the floor plans, but is cut off.
j. Change R1 reference to R2 at the corridor.
k. Clarify that the 30 minute rating of the corridor applies to the corridor/sprinkler room
wall only since VA construction and 1 -hour fire barriers will require 1 -hour rated
assemblies elsewhere.
1. Revise doors from garage to the corridor so they meet doors in series requirement of
ICC/ANSI A117.1404.2.5.
m. Although mechanical ventilation may be deferred, make provision for ventilation
(supply and exhaust/return) to the corridor (VIAQ 304 and Table 3-4).
n. Clearly show/note that the 1 -hour fire barrier walls (elevator shaft, stair enclosure
and occupancy separation between R2 and S2) must extend to the underside of the
floor sheathing above.
3. Provide story calculations to justify the lower floor as a basement (see definitions of basement
(WAC 51-50 502) and grade plane (IBC 502)). This building was reviewed as a 3 -story with
basement — not a 4 -story building. If it cannot qualify as a 3 -story with basement, a redesign to
meet additional 4 -story requirements is required.
4. Explain symbol "fire detector interconnected" on the floor plans notes and show where it
applies.
5. Add symbol for steel column to the floor plan legend and cross reference fire rated assembly for
steel columns.
6. Revise "overall building dimension" note on floor plan notes to match this building.
7. Revise floor plan note regarding headroom to 7'-6" (see IBC 1003.2 for means of egress)
8. Provide listed and tested assembly detail for the steel fire barrier wall and cross-reference on the
plans.
9. Revise label of I/A14 to note S2 and R2 occupancies only.
10. Revise label of J/A14 to note applicable separations as they are used on the plans.
11. Detail B/A14: NER-200 is no longer a valid report. Provide new listed and tested assembly
(such as from the Evaluation Report from the joist manufacturer, from the Gypsum Fire
Resistance Design Manual, etc.). If you are using M/A15 for sound, make sure it coordinates
with the minimum requirements for the fire rated assembly.
12. For decks, provide a detail showing how the fire resistive materials will be protected from the
weather.
13. On detail G/A15, cross-reference the correct details.
14. Provide illuminated exit signs for second required exit to stair enclosure, including one over
door from garage to corridor, and one from corridor to stair enclosure.
15. Dimension the finished clear width of the corridor.
16. Dimension the clear width of the stairway and landings
17. East stair enclosure must be 2 -hour rated since it serves 4 stories (IBC 1020.1 and WAC 51-50
502 definition of story and basement). Doors must be 90 minute rated.
Page 2 of 7
18. The elevator shaft must be 2 -hour rated since it connects 4 stories (IBC 707.4 and WAC 51-50
502 definition of story and basement). Hoistway doors or additional doors must be 90 minute
rated.
19. Center stair enclosure must exit directly to the outside or to a 1 -hour exit passageway. Revise 1 S�
floor plan to show 1 -hour exit passageway. The exit passageway must have a 1 -hour fire rated
floor -ceiling assembly with no ducts penetrating the assembly above the ceiling sheetrock (this
is different than what is allowed for corridors). A redesign is required for the exhaust ducts for
unit 102 if it is part of the exit passageway. Exit passageway walls are fire barrier walls and are
required to extend to the underside of the floor sheathing above. Provide detail and notes to
show this requirement.
20. Dimension 12" minimum maneuvering distance on the push -side of the south lobby door.
21. An accessible means of egress is required for each required exit. The general sprinkler
exception is no longer in the code. See IBC 1007 please read the entire section.
22. Exit doors for each dwelling on the 2nd and 3rd floors must be spaced apart 1/3 the overall
diagonal dimension of the area served (dwelling unit including deck). Show the overall
diagonal dimension and distance between exits. IBC 1015.2.1.
23. Site plan shows 3' rail fence in the right-of-way. Please relocate to private property.
24. On the site plan, show the line of the 5 foot wood fence (where it starts and stops). It is existing
or proposed?
25. Provide construction details for proposed fences.
26. Since the 4th Avenue entrance to the building is not accessible, provide directional signage from
the base of the stairs directing occupants to the Walnut Street entrance.
27. Provide updated Prescriptive Option energy compliance form (the one submitted is outdated),
and revise U and R -values on plans as needed to meet the option you select. Also, revise Notes
23 and 24 on Sheet P 1 accordingly.
28. Complete the enclosed Interior and Exterior Lighting Summary forms. Interior areas to be
included are the common areas and parking areas. WSEC 1530
29. Building enclosure letter: The design professional must submit a written statement
stamped/signed that "The undersigned has provided building enclosure documents that in my
professional judgment are appropriate to satisfy the requirements of RCW 64.55.005 through
64.55.090"
30. A barrier gate is required at the first floor at the top of the stair to the garage to prevent
occupants from exiting into the garage. (IBC 1020.1.5)
31. Stairway floor number signs are required in the east stairway (IBC 1020.1.6).
32. Dimension the required landings at exterior doors.
33. Provide a sign at the elevator to read: IN FIRE EMERGENCY, DO NOT USE ELEVATOR.
USE EXIT STAIRS. (IBC 3002.3)
34. Provide a temporary shoring plan with structural calculations and details stamped and signed by
a State Licensed Professional Engineer. Where slopes of 1:1 will be made instead of shoring,

RE: Plan Check # 2008-0155
Project: Suasand Deck
Project Address: 111 lf' Ave N.
During review of the above noted application, it was found that the following information,
corrections, or clarifications are needed. Please redline plans or submit two (2) sets of revised
plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the items below to a
Permit Coordinator.
1) On the framing plans please show footings under each post to clearly show how all loads are
carried to bearing.
2) It is unclear to me how the upper landing and the lower deck are laid out. Please clearly show
stairs and if possible put both landings on the same page to see how they overlap or connect.
3) Joists sistered to the side of the posts does not meet conventional construction. To meet
conventional construction show beam on top of post or provide calculations from a Washington
State Licensed Professional Engineer to justify.
4) For the upper floor landing it is not clear how all loads are supported. The double joists are
running the same direction as the floor joists. Please clearly show all posts and beams to verify
spans and that all loads are being carried to bearing.
5) How will the deck be supported at the house? If ledger show size, as well as fastener type, size
and spacing.
6) Pier blocks do not meet conventional construction. Replace with poured concrete footings or
provide calculations from a Washington State Licensed Professional Engineer to justify.
7) On the framing plan show how the stairs are supported on the lower deck.
