RE: Plan Check: BLD2014-1052
Project: Almark SFR
Project Address: 8040 Cyrus Place
During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.
On sheet A3:
1.Foundation Plan - Provide on the plans a callout for Detail 2 on sheet G1 for the
continuous footings/foundations around the crawlspace to guide proper review, construction,
and inspection.
2.Holdown Schedule Indicate on the plans the required anchorage for holdown T-5
HD5B to resist the overturning loads noted in the provided structural calculations.
On sheet A4:
3.Lower Floor Plan - Provide on the plans a detail, and a reference to it, for the required
construction/design to complete the lateral load transfer of the Lower Floor level along the
west wall of the stairway see review comment #7.
On sheet A5:
4.Main Floor Plan
a.Eliminate from the plans the callout for beam B-3 5-1/8x16-1/2 GLB ABV PLATE
in the northwest corner of the covered deck to avoid confusion and to guide proper
review, construction, and inspection.
b.Provide on the plans a detail, and a reference to it, for the required
construction/design to complete the lateral load transfer of the Main Floor level
along the west wall of the stairway see review comment #7.
c.Indicate on the plans the required construction to support the loads below each end
of the girder truss above the south end of Bedroom Four. The point loads below
the girder truss appear to be incorrectly located on the plans.
On sheet A6:
5.Upper Floor Plan Provide on the plans a Holdown Schedule, similar to that found on
sheet A3 and A5 to guide proper review, construction, and inspection.
On sheet A8:
6.Roof Framing Plan Provide on the plans a Holdown Schedule, similar to that found on
sheet A3 and A5 to guide proper review, construction, and inspection.
In the provided structural calculations:
7.Lateral Calculations Wind Worksheet Clarify the shear wall length noted for wall line
2 on the Upper Level. About 7 feet of the amount appears to be located along the
stairway, without a floor diaphragm. While that area may be used to complete the load path
from the roof framing above, additional detailing would be required to resist the lateral loads
of the Main Floor level.
In the provided Geotechnical Investigation and Design L&A Job No. 14-096 prepared by Liu
& Associates:
8.Page 8 Structural Fill Clarify the difference in the precast concrete block wall required to
be backfilled with structural fill and that noted on page 3 Wall Backfill, and represented on
Plate 2. It appears that the word upper should be changed to lower to guide proper
review, construction, and inspection.
