Project: Remodel
Project Address: 23712 101St Ave W.
During re -review of the above noted application, it was found that the following information,
corrections, or clarifications are needed. Please redline plans or submit two (2) sets of revised
plans/documents (affected sheets only) with a written response to each of the items below to a
Permit Coordinator.
1) 816107 Please note direct vent on the plans. Because the "living room" has a closet it is
considered a sleeping room. Gas water heaters in sleeping rooms must be direct vent or in a
enclosed closet with exterior rated weather-stripped door. Please clarify if water heater is gas or
electric and if unit is direct vent.
2) ok
3) 8161071 still need a section detail from the foundation through the roof. A continuous
foundation is required and new plans do not specify. Provide wall section detail for actual
construction.. Section detail attached is our sample and most likely does not reflect actual
construction.
4) 816107 Although the room was previously converted it was not done with permits. Now that we
are permitting it the insulation must meet current code. This correction still applies.
Minimum insulation R -Values for habitable space is R-21 wall, R-30 floor or R-10 slab and R-
38 ceiling. Based on plans submitted this area does not meet minimum insulation requirements.
Complete a component performance analysis found at www.energy.wsu.edu or submit letter
stating proposed upgrades to existing residence such as new windows, more attic insulation, etc.
to compensate.
5) 81610 7floor framing plan needed to check joist size, spacing and span. Provide framing plans
for second floor. Also specify use of space, headroom, and dimensions.
6) ok
7) 816107please add notes to plans. Minimum 50 cfin fan is required in the bath and laundry room.
Please note on plans.
