1. EOR please clarify how the seismic factor was determined in the analysis. All it
states is use .143 times the weight then you increase it by 1.29%. How was this
determined? Please clarify on the response_
3. Geotechnical report states to use static fluid density of 60 PCF for long term
loading. Analysis used 42 PCF which is fine for the construction but please submit
analysis that when the structure is complete that it can resist the 60 PCF.
Sheet Al
4. Please provide detail on the drawing for the construction of the guards (guardrails).
They are required to resist a 200 pound horizontal force applied in any direction.
IBC 1607.7.1
Sheet A5
5. Please provide details on the framing of the 2d floor deck. All that is stated is the
member sizes. Are knee braces required at the column? How are the lateral loads
being transferred at this location? IBC 2304.9.7
6. EOR please clarify beam size call out at the deck. One beam is a 4X12 and the
other is 6X12 with the same span. It appears based off the drawing and the
analysis the larger beam is for the support of the spa. But how do you know the
spa will be placed on this side. The spa could be placed on either span. Also with
the different width beam, how are the members being connected at the center
column. Please either modify drawings accordingly.
7. Please provide details for the footing at the deck post. These are being placed on a
sloped surface.
Sheet S 1
8. Detail D. Geotechnical report recommends the interior footing shall be placed a
minimum of 12" below the finished grade. But this detail states 10". Please modify
accordingly.

Plan Review # 05-446 EECE # 05-61
9. Detail D and C: The Geotechnical report states they recommend the strip footing to
be a minimum of 18" wide but this detail states 16". Please submit letter from
Geotechnical engineer that as detail this is acceptable.
Sheet S2
10_ Shearwall table exceeds the capacity set forth in table 2306.4.1 _ Please submit
analysis for Shearwall mark W6G and W4G. Gypsum wall board on one side and
plywood on other does not equal the sum of both capacities. See IBC 2305.3.8.
