During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that 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. See attached City of Edmonds structural Plan review comments.
2. City of Edmonds special inspection forms (one is attached):
a. Complete one set for the required geotechnical inspections. Likely the geotech of
record will also be the special inspector for the soils, etc.
b. If there is to be any field welding, or if the moment frame is going to be welded in a
non -approved shop, then special inspection will be required for the welding, and
another special inspection form is required to be completed.
3. Regarding the geotechnical report:
a. The geologist is required to stamp, as well as sign the document.
b. The geotech of record is required to review the construction documents for
compliance with their recommendations. Provide a letter confirming this from the
geotech of record. This should reference the dated, latest revised set.
c. The building plans should include the slab on grade requirements from page 11. At a
minimum the building sections should show the rock base. The foundation and site
plan should show the connection of the capillary drain to the footing drain.
d. Include the footing drain (page 12) requirements in section view, as well as on the
foundation and site plan.
e. On the foundation page, include the requirement that the "downslope (east) footing
line of the residence should be embedded at least three feet into medium dense or
better soil", seepage 8
f. Note: All recommendations of the report are to be construed as requirements
4. The garage to home man door is required to be 1-3/8" solid core wood, or twenty minute fire
rated.
5. Guard and handrail:
a. Provide details showing materials and connections
b. fustify the code load requirements:
i.. 200 lb at any location on the. top rail of the guard, or along the handrail
ii. 50 psf at the body of the guard (the tempered glass). If there is the product
literature available, it may be satisfactory to provide this information.
6. Tempered glazing locations
a. Tempered glazing is shown correctly on the elevation for the window adjacent to the
door at the kitchen, but not correctly identified on the floor plan.
b. In both the living room and the loft, the windows within 24" of the doors in a closed
position, and 60" or less to the floor are required to be safety glazed.
c. The window next to the door at the guest bedroom (br#2)
7. Plenum space:
a. Provide material data for the sidewall insulation (ICF blocks) to show that it meets
the flame spread rating of not greater that 200 when tested in accordance with ASTM

STRUCTURAL COMMENTS
General
1. Please submit analysis for the web crippling as noted in the Metwood truss
analysis. The analysis stamped by Jason M. Conn state Web crippling will be
checked manually. Please submit this upon the response.
2. There was not any lateral analysis for the Metwood building solutions. All that was
submitted was the gravity analysis of the beams. Please submit this upon the
response. IBC 1604.2
3. Please submit lateral design for the ICF panelize system used. This was not in the
submitted information. TBC 1604.2
4. Engineer of Record (EOR), the design criteria state the floor dead load to be 12
psf. Please justify this with Metwood shop drawings the dead appear to exceed
this. Please justify upon the response and revise accordingly.
5. EOR, please justify the plate height used in the analysis for the main floor. Based
off the building sections the plate height used of 10 feet appears to be lower then
the sections specify. Please resubmit or modify drawings accordingly.
6. EOR, please justify the plate height used in the analysis for the Upper floor. Based
off the building sections the plate height used of 8 feet appears to be lower then the
sections specify. Please clarify upon the response and resubmit or modify drawings
accordingly.
7. EOR, please add to the drawings a statement of special inspections as required per
1705 and 1704.1
8. Please clarify whom will be the design professional responsible in charge. The
responsible design professional in charge is required to review document prepared
by other for compatibility. There are two items stamped by engineers Mr. Criss
Covington and Jason M. Conn. The engineer that is to be in charge must review
documents prepared by other for compatibility. Please submit this upon the
response. IBC 109.3.4.1

9. The lateral design analysis for the lateral system used flexible distributions. With a
concrete deck and concrete, it appears not to fail under the definitions for flexible
diaphragm. A flexibly diaphragm is defined as the following in ASCE 12.14.5:
"Diaphragm Flexibility: Diaphragm constructed of steel decking, (untopped), wood
structural panels, or similar panelized constructed are permitted to considered
flexible." The drawings showing topping and must be analysis accordingly to non -
flexible diaphragm. Please modify accordingly. ASCE 12.14.8.3.2
10. EOR, the designs analysis used "trib" height for the wall for the first floor of 9.5
and 4.75'. How was this determined? Based of the sections cut this appears not to
be correct. Please clarify upon the response.
11. EOR, please submit design for the moment frame per ANSI 341-05 11.1.
12. EOR, the lateral seismic response factor used in the design was 4. Per ASCE table
12.2-1 the R shall be 3.5. Please clarify how the 4 was determined to be used for
the lateral analysis. ASCE table 12.2-1 and ASCE 12.2.3
13. EOR, the design of the moment frame used an older code. The design state used
AISC 9h additions, the 1989 code version. Please submit analysis the most current
adopted code. See IBC reference allowed in chapter 35.
14. EOR, please add grid lines on the Metworks plan and the structural drawings or
dimensions in order to verify the column locations on the drawing for the footing
layout. It is not clear the footing and the column locations line up. If the post is not
at the centered on the footing, an analysis eccentric loading is required. Please
submit this upon the response.
15. For member B 11 from Metworks has an uplift load of 6.7 kips. Please clarify on
the drawings how this force will be resisted.
16. EOR, there is a concrete column analysis but there is not any concrete column
shown or detailed on the drawing. Please clarify upon the response.
17. There are two lateral calculations that are different in the submitted analysis. One
in the beginning of the analysis and one at the end use different heights and widths.
They are not the same but they appear to be for the same part of the structures. For
example, the A and B zone are different. Please clarify the submit analysis upon
the response with either a key or another way to distinguish where each portion
applies to the structure.
