All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All
portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements,
conditions and concerns before permit approval.
STRUCTURAL COMMENTS
General
1.3. The design analysis for the studs used a height of 8’ but the sections show the
wall will be 9 feet (Page 10). Resubmit stud analysis for the correct height of 9 feet
and not 8’. With a height of 9 feet the combined stresses exceed unity. Also on the
next page please clarify how the number 69 was determining to divided twice in the
analysis for the 9 foot wall. Please modify accordingly. The response state this is the
width of the building, but this is not correct. The width ranges from 69 on one side
and 46 on the other. Since the division is in the denominator, the smallest width
shall be used. Please modify the analysis accordingly.
Sheet 5 ELEVATIONS:
2.4. 17. Please specify the required connection of the tile roof on the drawings.
Nothing is shown at this time. R905.3 This still has not been submitted as required.
This still has not been provide as required. In addition, the engineer did not design
for the tile roof. I assume tile was not going to be used but it appears after two
reviews this is going to be. Submit analysis for the tile roof.
Sheet 1 MAIN FLOOR PLAN:
3.7. 20.EOR, please specify the required spacing of the vertical post and attachment
for the glass guard rail support. Nothing is shown to show how the code required
design forces will be resisted. Please add this information. This still has not been
addressed. Please submit this upon the response. This still has not been addressed at
this time. The response stated by other. Please add this to the drawings.
Sheet 2 BASEMENT & FOUNDATION PLAN:
4.9. Detail B and Detail C: Submit analysis for the reinforcement steel placed at 2.5”
clear. This was not in the submitted analysis for these walls. The response states the
new analysis was submitted for a clear of 2.5”, but the analysis states the d is 7.5”.
The wall is noted to be 8” thick. There, the best case scenario would be a d=5.75”
(8”-2.5”-#4 bar/2). Resubmit analysis for the correct distance to the tension steel as
required for concrete design.

5.22.Please specify the number of studs required to support each side of beam #15.
It is not clear at this time. This still has not been addressed at this time. Please
modify accordingly (Beam 51).
6.EOR please provide a detail at the angle beams 52 and 54. The joist bear on the
PSL but the 5-1/4 appear to be flush. The analysis for the beam has the top being
continuous nail for bracing. But based off the drawings it is not clear how this is
going to be built. A detail still has not been provided. Please provide a detail at
these locations to show how the forces will be transferred. This still has not been
provided at this time.
7.13. 23.EOR, please specify the required connection of the 5-1.8x13-1/2 at the
beam pocket. Nothing is specified at this time. This still has not been addresses.
The response state make connections with HGLBA3-1/4 but the drawings do not
reflect this. Please modify accordingly.
8.14. 24.Please specify the required connection of the cantilever beam to the
supporting member. Nothing is specified at this time. This still has not been
addressed at this time. The response state use A34 each side but this is not reflected
on the drawings. Please modify the drawings accordingly.
9.9. 25.EOR, please provide an analysis for the 2x8 ledger supporting the deck
loads. This still has not been addresses, please submit analysis as requested. The
submitted analysis state per UBC but this is not the adopted code. Submit analysis
per the IBC.
10.16. 26.All beams that are supported by posts, including built-up posts and in-wall
posts, shall clearly note the required connections on the drawings. Currently this is
not clearly noted on the drawings. Please note all required post to beam
connections on the drawings. This still has not been completely addressed. For
example the 3-1/2X11-7/8 PSL at the media room. All beam supports shall be
specified and the required connections. Please modify accordingly. The response
states double studs shall be used but the connections is not specified for these
conditions. Modify the drawings to show how the code required forces will be
resisted.
11.17. 27.EOR, the analysis for the Glu-lam beams in the garage appear not to
include the point loads from the Glu-lam beams. For example, Glu-lam beam
mark 19 is supporting beams marks 10, 11, and 14. Please modify accordingly.
The new analysis has not included all point loads. For example, beam mark 41 has
three point loads but the analysis for this beam has only two specified. Please re-
verify all beam analysis on this level. The response state the point load is smaller.

Third Comment Letter
When looking at the analysis for the joist the point loads do not appear to match
what was used. Please modify accoridnly.
12.18. New analysis for the cantilever beam has not applied alternate live loads as
required per code. The cantilever section will have uplift loads and a connection is
required to resist this force. Please clearly add this information to the drawings. Not
only the joist but also the supporting member should be designed with the loads
applied not on the cantilever portions. Submit analyses for these conditions.
13.19. 28.The analysis shows there will be an uplift force required to be resisted on
the back span. Currently there aren’t any connections specified to resist this loads
-Beam 9 is an example. Please clearly specify the required connections to resist
the code prescribed forces. The beams number has changed and the old plan was
not submitted. Please specify the required connection of the cantilever joist on the
drawings. The response states the uplift even though small, may be neglected.
Please clarify where in the code that this can be neglected. How small is the limit? If
uplift loads are present a connections must be provide to resist this force. Please
modify the drawings accordingly.
14.20. 33.Please specify the required connection for the (3) 2x12’s to the post. This
still has not been addressed at this time. The response state there are no (3) 2x12
but at the winder stairs this is specified on the drawings. Please modify the drawings
accordingly to support the (3) 2x12.
Sheet 3 Foundations Plan (original was the ROOF FRAMING PLAN):
15.21. EOR, please provide a detail for where the 24” diameter footing overlaps the
36X36 footing. A detail is required to show how this will be built. The drawings
has been modify to show 24”X60”X12” footing. Please submit analysis for this
footing.
16.23. The code required the vertical reinforcement to have a 90 degree hook into the
footing. Please modify detail 1 to reflect this. This has not been modified as
required per the building code. Either submits analysis for straight bar embedment
or show the vertical reinforcement into the footing to have the 90-degree hook.
17.24. Please add detail sections cut to show what detail shall be used for the
foundations system. It is required to show the contractor which detail to use where.
The drawings do not reflect any details or how the interior of the structure shall be
constructed. Please add details to the drawings to show how this will be
constructed. This should not be left up to the contractor.
18.25. The city of Edmonds fall under moderate weather potential and the concrete
strength shall be 3000 psi and not 2500 psi. Please modify accordingly. Table

R402.2 This still has not been modified as required. Modify the drawings to meet
the city of Edmonds requirements.
Sheet 4 ROOF FRAMING PLAN: (Original plan it was sheet 3)
19.26. 34.EOR, please provide calculations for the exterior studs to support the truss
spanning 64 feet. All load combinations shall be included when analyzing the
exterior stud wall. The engineer has only done the shear wall design in plane but
out of plane forces must also be checked to support the roof framing members and
all load combinations. The analysis used 16” for the tributary width on the trusses
but the trusses are spaced at 24” O/C and this must be used to determine the
reactions on the studs. With the studs spaced @ 16” the truss will land directly on
the stud and full reaction on the studs must be checked. Please resubmit the analysis
with the correct static loading on the studs. And also the double top plate must be
checked for the reactions between the studs. The engineer’s requirement per his
response is not incorporated into the drawings. It appears the engineer reviewed
some sheets but others were not. Please resubmit with the engineers requirements.
Sheet 5 Details: (Original plan it was sheet 4)
20.27. 35. EOR, please provide an analysis of the deck details shown on this sheet.
The notes are per the old UBC and not the adopted code at this time. This still has
not been addressed correctly. For example 20 plf is not the correct loading the
guard are required to resist. This is still the UBC requirements. Also how is the
lateral bracing being connected? More information is required with analysis to
justify the deck detail to meet the current adopted code. For some reason the deck
detail was deleted from the set. The drawings still show a deck going to be built.
Please add pertinent details on how this will be constructed and resubmit
accordingly.
21.28. 36.Deck detail: Please provide an analysis for the ½” diameter lag bolts at
16” o.c. Also, it is not clear what the lag bolts are connecting to in order to
support the design loads. This still has not been complete. The lag are noted at 6”
but it is still not clear what the lag will be connected to support the forces. Please
add this information to the detail. (this was deleted from the set with out adding
appropriate detail to support the deck framing)
Sheet S: LATERAL ANALYSIS/TYPICAL DETAILS:
22.30. 38.EOR, please submit a design analysis for the full-height cantilevered
retaining wall. IBC 1806.5 The analysis requires the vertical steel to be placed 1-
1/2 from the earth face but the detail state 2” clear. The “d” used for the design was
6.25” With a 2” clear the d would be (8”-2-#4 bar diameter/2 =5.75). Please modify

accordingly and resubmit analysis. The response state this has been modified but the
drawings have not been. The drawings show 8” wall with a 2”clear, but the analysis
sued a d of 6.5. Please coordinated and resubmit.
Additional corrections may be required following receipt of corrections and additional
information as requested.
