20090513163745.pdfDATE: 5113109 City of Edmonds PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS BUILDING DIVISION (425) 771-0220 TO: Michael Echelbarger 16207 Larch Way Lynnwood, WA 98087 FROM: Pat Lawler, Plans Examiner RE: Plan Check: BLD20080408 Project: SFR Project Address: 620 Sunset Dear Mr. Echelbarger, With the resubmittal of the site plan, a few building issues will need to be addressed. The following information, clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to where the changes can be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator. 1. The backfill materials and compaction requirements for the sewer trench bisecting the proposed house will need to be designed to a 2000 PSF capacity and inspected by a geotechnical engineer. I could not find backfill requirements anywhere in the documents. 2. Provide a copy of the calculations to show the manhole will handle the loads imposed from the building. From the information in the file it appears to have been requested in an engineering comment letter dated 7/10/2008. 3. The engineer of record (EOR) will need to approve the location of the manhole adjacent to the building. Provide any additional foundation requirements relating to the manhole. 4. The EOR to approve the sewer box beneath the building. The sewer box calculations include soil and vehicles, but not the structure. 5. Special inspections will need to be performed on both the sewer box steel reinforcement placement and the concrete strength & placement. 6. Attached are two separate City of Edmonds' special inspection forms. One for the required soils (backfill) inspection, and one for the concrete and steel. Bear in mind that, if the city inspector determines that the soils bearing capacity under other portions of the structuress questionable, then those areas may also require the assistance of a geotechnical engineer. 7. Is the manhole cover airtight? If not, are there any openings to the living space within ten feet of the manhole cover?
