been disapproved for the purposes of obtaining a building permit. During a review
of the plans by the Building Division for compliance with the applicable building
codes, it was found that the following information, clarifications, or changes are
needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of this letter.
Items that recur on this list appear in italics.
A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents,
including a written response in itemized letter format indicating where the
‘clouded’ or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans,
have been submitted to a Permit Coordinator.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2nd

a) The engineer needs to provide an evaluation of the new loads vs.
existing loads that the foundation is/was supporting. Any existing
gravity load-carrying structural elements for which the
addition/alteration causes an increase in design gravity load of more
than 5 percent are required to be strengthened, supplemented,
replaced or otherwise altered as needed to carry the increased
gravity load as required by the IBC for new structures. Provide
additional reinforcement of the foundation as determined by the
evaluation/analysis. IEBC 402.3
b) On the plans please indicate what is known/assumed about the
foundation (dimensions, reinforcement if known) and indicate that this
is required to be verified in the field.
Geotechnical
2) We take no exception to the assumed geotechnical values utilized in
design as noted on the structural drawings (S1). However, it is
recommend that the design team research literature related to
geotechnical properties of soil in the area in order to confirm the
assumed values are reasonable. Response to this comment is not
required. The comment is for your information only.
Drawing Sheets
S6 – Main Floor Framing Plan
1) Section cut 14/S2 is identified in several locations. However, this detail
does not exist within the drawing set. Please coordinate.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Eric Carter
