Project Address: 7323 224 Street SW
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Provide written responses to each comment and where
changes can be found on the plans. Please resubmit to Theresa Umbaugh, Permit Coordinator.
The March 12, 2008 comments were based on alterations made to an existing building under the
current 2006 International Building code. When an alteration is made to the building, it must
comply with the current adopted codes. Plans submitted for a permit for alteration to an existing
building are required to show basic code information based on the current code. Many of the plan
review comments were needed due to the lack of such information provided on the plans. Lastly,
the City has not adopted the International Existing Building Code, so it is not applicable to this
permit application.
1.Ok Correct occupancies shown on the plan.
2.Ok Fire separations shown on the plan.

statement(s) of equivalency to what is required by the code. Have the owners attorney draft the
easement and submit with the request for Alternate Design. The fee is $180.00 and the applicant
