email to emailed response.pdf
First, I dont review emails, I review submitted plans and resubmitted plans brought in to the Permit Center in
response to plan review comments. There currently isnt a procedure for tracking the submission and review of
emailed responses, and since our processes are all part of public record the required method of response is
through the Permit Center.
The responses to the following will need to be incorporated into construction drawings or an updated permit
application resubmitted for review:
1.Yes
2.Yes, the attachment was intended to help you provide the information requested in the plan review
comment - The requirements for installation (purlins, corrugated horizontal closure strips, fasteners,
etc.) should be noted on the construction documents or referenced and attached to guide proper
installation and inspection.
3.Im asking for additional information that might not be on the submitted construction documents that
would justify the use of a selected framing member that appears to be deficient for the stated
reasons. If no such information exists, then the selected member must be installed differently
(doubled, closer together, shortened span, etc.) or replaced with a different member capable of
supporting the loads when installed as shown on the construction documents.
4.Same as #3
5.Same as #3
6.Since there was no Existing Structure or similar representation provided, I have no idea what the
justification might be for the footings as they were originally constructed. My plan review comment
regards the proposed size and placement (existing or new) of footings to be used to support the
structure as proposed, letting you know that a 12x12 footing (the low side of the variable size
given) cannot adequately support the anticipated loads. After obtaining the permit, the Building
Inspector may require you to expose one or more sides of an existing footing to verify compliance
with that required on the approved construction documents.
Hi Chuck,
Just checking in to see if you've had a chance to review my last email. If it would be helpful I'm happy to stop
by the permit desk and likewise you are welcome to stop by the house to review the existing construction.
Best regards,
Jeff

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the sending the comments. Regarding each line item:
1.The only things that are retained are the concrete pad some of the concrete footings. The rest of the
structure is new. Do you want me to edit the application to reflect this?
2.To confirm, I need to print the PDF you sent me and resubmit with the other new items? Also, I think
the plans PDF mention purlins which on my drawing is noted as battens. Is that how you see it too?
3.Can you please clarify what you are looking for here?
4.Same as #3
5.Same as #3
6.The footings are already in place and have been buried. Did you want me to dig one up?
I appreciate your help while I get the documentation in order. I don't have any engineering experience and am
learning as I go.
Thanks!
Jeff
