RE: Plan Check # 2008-015
Project: Suasand Deck
Proj ect Address: 111 12th Ave N.
During 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) On the framing plans please show footings under each post to clearly show how all loads are
carried to bearing.
2) It is unclear to me how the upper landing and the lower deck are laid out. Please clearly show
stairs and if possible put both landings on the same page to see how they overlap or connect.
3) Joists sistered to the side of the posts does not meet conventional construction. To meet
conventional construction show beam on top of post or provide calculations from a Washington
State Licensed Professional Engineer to justify.
4) For the upper floor landing it is not clear how all loads are supported. The double joists are
running the same direction as the floor joists. Please clearly show all posts and beams to verify
spans and that all loads are being carried to bearing.
5) How will the deck be supported at the house? If ledger show size, as well as fastener type, size
and spacing.
6) Pier blocks do not meet conventional construction. Replace with poured concrete footings or
provide calculations from a Washington State Licensed Professional Engineer to justify.
7) On the framing plan show how the stairs are supported on the lower deck.
