Thank you for submitting your plans to the City of Edmonds for review. We have completed an
initial review of the project mentioned above. For this project to move forward a few items will
need to be addressed.
Once a revised set of plans, including a written response to the list of the items contained in this
letter are resubmitted, we can complete the review. Some items may require a review by other
divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire and will be noted as such.
Resubmittals can be made at the Development Services Department on the 2"d Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on
Wednesdays.
To complete the review the following items will need to be addressed:
General:

Sheet: "Proposed Floor Plan"

landing shall be not less than the door served. Every landing shall have a dimension of not

landings shall not exceed 1/4 unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2 percent).

cfm at 0.25 inches water gauge for kitchens. Manufacturers' fan flow ratings shall be
determined as per HVI 916 (April 1995) or AMCA 210.

down -draft exhaust systems, the fans shall be sized in accordance with Section M1507.4.

Exhaust hood systems capable of exhausting in excess of 400 cubic feet per minute (0.19

equal to the exhaust air rate. Such makeup air systems shall be equipped with not less than
one damper. Each damper shall be a gravity damper or an electrically operated damper
that automatically opens when the exhaust system operates. Dampers shall be accessible
for inspection, service, repair and replacement without removing permanent construction
or any other ducts not connected to the damper being inspected, serviced, repaired or

6. Please indicate on the plans all shearwalls with a detail to match the "Shearwall Schedule"
on sheet S2. Include location for all holddowns to match the "Holddown Schedule" on
sheet S2.
Sheet S2:
7. Calculations have a call out for a SW 4. The shearwall schedule on the plans does not match
the parameters set by the calculations package. Schedule on sheet S2 states the bottom
plate connection should be 4" oc. The calculation package states this should be 6" oc.
Please clarify which is correct.
If you need any clarification or have any questions at all, please feel free to call anytime.
