RE: Plan Check: BLD20090040
Project: 2009-R001, Wall Residence
Project Address: 1250 Coronado Pl. S
During review of the re-submitted plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following
information, clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the
changes can be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator.
1.There appears to be a conflict with the architectural sheets A2.0 and A3.0 and the
engineering calculation sheets #4, #6, and #7. The architectural shows the carport as being
open with two posts. The engineering shows the carport as having a 12 shearwall which is
used for part of the calculations. Someone had crossed off the shearwall (#1) with a blue
pen. If the shearwall is to be used, provide foundation details. If it will be a post and
footing, justify eliminating the shear values attached to the wall.
2.Provide a full sized sheet with the EOR stamp and signature of the calc. sheets #4 & #5.
Identify which floors. There are holdown requirements and shearwall requirements that may
be confused with having the shearwall types only listed on the roof plan, with no legend to
reference.
3.Provide a typical section of a proposed shearwall. The building section on sheet A-4.0 has
an assumed section. If the existing walls will not need to be modified (As implied by the
note) the existing wall construction will need to be both known, and used by the engineer in
his calculations. The generic shearwall schedule on sheet S-1 calls out anchor bolts and
3x3 plate washers.The existing bolts and washers are unlikely to meet those requirements..
Unless someone is planning on removing the siding to install the bolts, washers, and
plywood nailing per the new schedule, it might be practical to get an sample of what is
underneath the siding, and run the calculations on that.
4.Due to the existing foundation, provide epoxy bolt requirements for additional anchor bolts.
