RE: Plan Check: BLD2020-0349
Project Address: 1141 VIEWLAND WAY
Project: CROUCH/MAUPIN- NEW SFR, P&M INCL
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.
General:
1. Plans do not show a whole house ventilation system. Provide calculations and type of system
(intermittent or continuous) include CFM in calculations.
2. Special inspection will be required for installation of Piles.
3. Plans do not show roof ventilation. Show calculations and required ventilation on plans.
Sheet A 2.1:
4. Make up air is required in the laundry room the combination of exhaust fan and dryer fan
requires make up air in this location. This will help in the operation of the dryer to assure it is
operating as it should.
5. If kitchen hood exceeds 400 cfin make up air will be required in this location also.
M1503.4 Makeup Air Required
7. Exhaust hood systems capable of exhausting in excess of 400 cubic feet per minute (0.19 m3/s)
shall be mechanically or naturally provided with makeup air at a rate approximately equal to
the exhaust air rate.

8. Mechanical protection for Water heater and Sink in Garage is required. In addition to the
platform stated on the plans and Bollard or other protection against mechanical damage
will be required.
502.1.1 Elevation and Protection
Elevation of water heater ignition sources and mechanical damage protection requirements for water
heaters shall be in accordance with the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel
Gas Code.
Sheet S 3.0:
9. Cement stairs show reinforcement steel on the slanted bottom. This will require 3" of
coverage in this area.
R403.1.3.5.3 Support and Cover
Reinforcement shall be secured in the proper location in the forms with tie wire or other bar support
system to prevent displacement during the concrete placement operation. Steel reinforcement
in concrete cast against the earth shall have a minimum cover of 3 inches (75 mm).
Calculations Packet:
Note: Beams in calculations should reflect beams expected to be used in the construction. Any beams
not used should be removed from the calculations to eliminate confusion during the building process.
10. Specific beam names and designation should be unique to each beam regardless of the floor
they are located on. This eliminates confusion on every level from review to construction.
For example there is two number 1's and 2's. Renumber all beams with a unique
designation.
11. Beam 14 does not match what is reflected on the plans. Change to the correct beam.
12. Beam designated in calculations as (2) 11 7/8 TJI 110 and 210, are not reflected on the
plans. Add these beams to plans in the designated locations.
13. Beam 8 Reflects (2) 2x4 and (2) 2x6. It appears the 2x4 configuration either does not satisfy
calculations or is very close. Verify which is being installed.
Thank you for the thoroughness of these plans and calculations. However, all the handwritten notes
makes it confusing and hard to decipher. If possible and as appropriate, please remove any
unnecessary writing and notes form the plans and calculations. For example using a note to show
Dead, Live and Snow load is only necessary one time.
