iI <br /> .. ' <br /> PUBLIC WORKS <br /> j <br /> October 13, 2014 <br /> Project: Northlake Court Townhomes, Building C <br /> Job Address: 106th PL SE <br /> Plan Review No: C 1409-044 through 047 <br /> In response to your application for a construction permit, your plans have been examined and <br /> you are advised that a permit cannot be issued until the following issues are resolved. These <br /> comments address building issues only. Additional revisions or additions may be required by <br /> other departments (such as Utilities, Planning or Fire). All references refer to the 2012 <br /> International Residential Code (IRC), as amended by the State of Washington and/or the <br /> Washington State Energy Code, 2012 edition, unless noted otherwise. <br /> In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide <br /> the Building Division with two sets of drawings reflecting the corrections requested. <br /> 1. Detail 3a/A4.2 shows fire-rating treatment at the floor to wall intersection. The detail appears to <br /> be for a one-hour wall however and the project requires a two-hour wall assembly. Section <br /> R302.2 <br /> 2. The roof of the upper unit at the building offset(two-hour wall)is shown to be less than 30"above <br /> the lower roof. The wall continuing above the lower unit to the underside of the roof of the upper <br /> unit should be shown to be of not less than one-hour construction (5/8"gyp sheathing should be <br /> shown on exterior side of the attic wall at the step roof condition). Section R302.2.2 <br /> 3. The two, one-hour walls separating the dwelling units requires mineral fiber per GA No. 3644. <br /> Wall section 3/A4.2 should be revised to show this requirement or a different fire-resistive wall <br /> assembly should be provided. Section R303.2 <br /> 4. Wall section 3/A4.2 should be clarified to show that fire-retardant sheathing is also required for <br /> eave overhangs and overframing within 4' of the two-hour wall. Section R302.2.2 <br /> 5. The site plan shows approximatelyl0 feet between buildings B and C. Based on that distance, <br /> the eves parallel to the assumed property line should be protected on the underside by one-hour, <br /> fire-resistive construction. Section R302.1 <br /> 6. The two-hour walls should be shown to continue to the underside of the over-framed dormer <br /> sheathing between units 2 &3. Section R302.2 <br /> 7. An additional 20-minute door(or approved alternate) should be added to create a hallway <br /> between the `storage' rooms and garages on the lower floors. The doors into the storage rooms <br /> could then be reduced to a non-rated passage doorway and note stating `rooms not to be used as <br /> sleeping rooms' should be removed from the plans. Section R302.5.1 <br /> a. The CO alarms should be shown in the (new) hallway outside of the sleeping rooms on <br /> the first level.
