RE: Plan Check: BLD2010-0037
Project: Jackson Retaining Wall
Project Address: 1101 12th Ave. N
During the second review of the resubmitted 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 consulting engineer's structural plan review comment letter.
2. It appears that there is a discrepancy between the Soldier Pile Concrete mix design minimums at
the structural notes, Concrete/Grout S 1.1 and detail 4/S2.2. It looks as though the note may
have the lean concrete above grade, instead of below grade. Please verify which is correct.
3. The attached city Special Inspection and Testing Ageement for Soils will need to be completed
prior to permit issuance.
