On sheet A3 Foundation Plan:
1.Clarify the callout for the typical 24x24x8 isolated footing below the beams supporting the
floor framing and the converging ends of beam RB-3 (4)2x12 DF#2 and the adjacent
4x8 DF#2. It appears to be undersized for the loads anticipated by the represented
construction and noted in the provided beam calculations.
On sheet A5 Main Floor Plan:
2.Indicate on the plans the P1-6 shear wall specified along wall line 2 in the provided
lateral calculations.
3.Clarify the callout for the T-3 holddowns at each end of the P1-6 shear wall along the
west wall of the Master Bedroom. When used as a floor-to-floor tie the effective number
of nails to develop the required load is reduced due to the clear span at the floor framing.
