RE: Plan Check: BLD2019-0429
Project Address: 907 Dayton ST.
Scope: ADU, R-3, VB Construction.
Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have 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 Floor of
City Hall. Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm
on Wednesdays.
General:
1. The primary residence and the proposed ADU must act as independent dwellings.
Please indicate on the plans where the electrical panel, water shut off, and heating
appliances will be located for each dwelling. These locations must be readily accessible
to the dwelling they service without having to access through the adjacent dwelling.
Please indicate on the plans where the water shut off(s) and electrical panel(s) will be
located for the primary residence and ADU.
2. The submitted plans sheets do not appear to have been numbered. Please provide two
sets plans with pages that have been numbered in numerical order.
3. The proposed plans mention that new wireless interconnected smoke detectors will be
installed. The Primary Dwelling and ADU must also have Carbon Monoxide detectors
installed as well. Please indicate the location of the CO detectors on the plans.

4. The notes provided appear to have the intentions noting the appropriate page number
per line item but the page numbers do not appear to have been included. Please label
the pages and add to the notes.
5. The notes on the proposed plans appear to indicate that an electric dryer is to be
installed for the ADU. Plumbing permit BLD2019-0436 indicates a gas line was installed
for a dryer. Combustion air will be required to be provided to a fuel burring appliance.
Please clarify and indicate on the plans.
6. The closet provided for the washer and dryer will require a minimum of a 50 CFM local
exhaust fan in accordance with M 1507.4 of the 2015 International Residential Code.
Please indicate on the plans.
7. The kitchen range will require a minimum of a 100 CFM exhaust fan vented to the
exterior in accordance with M 1507.4 of the 2015 International Residential Code...
Please indicate the local exhaust fan on the plans.
8. The proposed ADU will require “whole house” ventilation in accordance with M1507.3
of the 2015 International Residential Code. Please indicate how the requirement will be
achieved on the plans.
9. The proposed plans indicate electric wall heaters as the primary heating source.
Section R403.7.1 of the Washington State Energy Code requires an inverter driven
ductless heat pump to be installed in the largest zone of the dwelling unless the total
wattage of the heaters does not exceed 2KW. Please clarify and indicate on the plans.
I have reviewed the most recent WSFU tables sent via email on 5/21/19. The provided
information is in compliance with Appendix C of the 2015 UPC. A ¾” water meter with a minimum
of a 1” water line will be sufficient. Please add the provided tables to the plans.
Upon review of the resubmitted documents, additional comments may be generated.
Sincerely,
