Project Address: 21516, 21520, 2152473 Place West
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses to each comment as to how it
has been addressed (support with code sections where applicable), and where changes can be found
on the plans. Please submit revised plans/documents to Theresa Umbaugh, Senior Permit
Coordinator.
1.Provide detailed written scope of work to be done under the above referenced permits.
2.The original plans for these buildings in City archives show that 1 hour walls are required where
less than 40 feet to the property line and projections such as eaves must also be protected to 1-
hour construction. The proposed repairs to the building must maintain these code requirements
(these buildings were built under the 1973 UBC). 1973 UBC 2203 exception permits the
rd
exterior walls facing 73 Place to be unrated. All other exterior walls must be 1-hour rated.
Revise the exterior wall and eave/soffit details to show 1-hour fire resistive assemblies and
provide the listed and tested assembly on the plans (e.g. from Gypsum Association Fire
Resistance Design Manual, IBC Chapter 7 Tables, UL Directory, etc.).
3.Provide a letter stamped and signed by the Engineer of Record 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.
4.Have the engineer add the building addresses that Sheet 6 of 6 applies to on the plan.
5.The building enclosure plans do not include re-roof details.
6.Note the proposed roof assembly (weather barrier and material), including color.
7.On all elevation views, clearly distinguish areas where existing cedar siding is to remain vs.
where the new Hardiplank siding and Hardishingle siding is proposed.
8.The siding bid notes work to be done on west elevation including garage. Please clarify what
work is this referring to?
9.The building enclosure must be inspected by a qualified inspector. Verify if the Engineer of
Record, Jack Swardz, will the Building Enclosure Inspector. (RCW 64.55.030, 040, & 050)
