Project: Bodal Addition/Remodel
Project Address: 16905 Talbot Road
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.
General Comments
1.The application indicates that 2 water closets are to be installed, but only one new water
closet could be found on the plans. Please clarify.
2.Similarly, the sink count could not be reconciled with 4 on the application but only 3 found
on the plans.
3.Identify on the plans how the requirements regarding whole-house ventilation will be
satisfied per IRC M1507.3.
4.The application indicates the presence of a gas furnace in the basement, and a heat pump at
the NW exterior of the home. Are these new pieces of equipment? If so, is the path of
compliance to the Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) section R406? In any case,
please indicate on the plans how the requirements of Section R406 will be satisfied. Specify
which option(s) from Table R406.2 will be utilized to achieve the required credits.

5.Please show the smoke detectors throughout the house as required per IRC R315, i.e. within
each sleeping room and outside of and in the vicinity of the sleeping room area(s). Note all
of the smoke detectors within the residence must be hard-wired and interconnected.
6.In the same area, there is a note indicating the existing 2x8 deck is to be used for the kitchen
floor. However, detail 9/S5.1 shows that the floor joists are to be replaced and ¾ plywood
decking is indicated. Please revise.
7.Detail 2/A-4 appears to have the proper information for insulating the slab per WSEC Table
R402.1.1. Please reference the detail with a detail bug in an appropriate location indicating
a typical condition to help guide proper inspection.

8.Similar to Item #5 above, please show the smoke detectors throughout the house as required
per IRC R315, i.e. within each sleeping room and outside of and in the vicinity of the
sleeping room area(s). Note all of the smoke detectors within the residence must be hard-
wired and interconnected.
9.Please indicate on the plans and in the window schedule that window W03 in the New
Bedroom is to meet the emergency escape and rescue requirements of IRC R310.1.
Sheet A-6
10.Per WSEC Table R402.1.1, insulation is required to have an R-49 rating in ceilings (R-38 if
vaulted), and R-30 within floor assemblies. Please verify these requirements are labeled
correctly.
