Project: Vincent remodel
th
Project Address: 21900 97 Avenue W
During a 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, cloud all changes on the revised plans, and submit the revised
plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator. Thank you.
General Note:
1.Provide an existing floor plan for the structure per the City of Edmonds Residential
Addition/Remodel/Alteration Permit Submittal Requirements. It is difficult to assess the
extent and effect of the proposed work without knowing the existing configuration of the
structure. Of particular interest are the kitchen area and the roof framing above and floor
framing below it.
2.Indicate the additional amount of area, in square feet, of the basement to be finished as part
of this permit.
3.Clarify the extent of work to be done to repair roof as noted on the permit application.
4.The following plan review comments are for the work proposed on the permit application
and submitted construction documents. Any changes or additional information provided
about other areas during resubmittal may result in additional comments.
On page 2:
5.Clarify the callout for beams A and B - #2 Douglas-fir 4x10s no beam calculations
were provided among the construction documents. What loads are the beams supporting?
What is the required posting at each end of the beams? How are the loads being transferred
by their supporting elements to the foundation? see General Note #1.
6.Clarify the placement of the 3.0x4.0 window in the north wall of the kitchen. Is it an
existing window and, if not, what size beam is required for the opening? What load (ridge
beam?) is it supporting? see General Note #1.
7.Clarify the placement of the 2.8x6.8 door from the garage into the kitchen. It does not
appear to be in the same location as the existing window. What beam size is required for the
opening? What load (full span trusses, stick-frame rafters supported by a ridge beam?) is it
supporting? see General Note #1.
8.Indicate the required dwelling/garage opening protection (the door from the garage into the
dwelling) per R302.5.
9.Indicate the required dwelling/garage fire separation (gypsum wallboard on the garage-side)
per R302.6.
10.Clarify the callout for STHD14 hold-downs to be used as part of the portal-frame
construction at the garage door opening. Per the manufacturer, the STHD14 does not meet
the 4200 lb. tension load required per R602.10.3.3/Figure R602.10.3.3.
11.Indicate the required foundation construction across the entire length of the braced wall line
of the portal frames per R602.10.3.3/Figure R602.10.3.2.
On page 3:
12.Indicate the required 50 cfm source specific exhaust fan for the bathroom per M1507.3.1
13.Clarify the amount of finished basement shown as existing. Indicate both the existing and
the new or proposed walls to be added as part of this project. The Snohomish County
Assessors Office notes that only 360 square feet of the 1252 total is finished see General
Note #2.
