0 ft <br />Mr. Ruben Sanchez <br />City of Everett <br />Plan Check Number: B2001-004, First Building Review <br />January 31, 2020 <br />5. The First and Second Floor Plans on Sheets A1.1 and A1.2 include new doors that may not be <br />accessible. See IBC Section 1102.1, and references below to ICC A117.1-09 unless noted <br />otherwise. The following comments should be addressed: <br />a. Doors 110A and 113A do not provide a minimum 18-inch clearance per Figure 404.2.3.2(a). <br />b. Door 115A shall provide a minimum 18-inch clearance per Figure 404.2.3.2(a) <br />c. Doors 109A, 205A, 213A, and 221A will require a minimum 12-inch clearance per Figure <br />404.2.3.2(b) where closers are provided. Clarify if closers will be provided. <br />d. Door 204A will require a minimum 54-inch clearance per Figure 404,.2.3.2(f) if a closer is <br />provided. Clarify if a closer will be provided. <br />Energy: <br />6. The First and Second Floor Plans on Sheets A1.1 and A1.2 includes replacement of existing <br />windows per Keynote 1.6. The window frames appear to be wood construction per Detail <br />4/A8.0. The plans should specify that the new windows have a maximum thermal rating of <br />UmAx=0.3. See WSEC-15 Table C402.4. <br />Miscellaneous: <br />7. The project includes new interior partition walls per the plans. Detail 3/A8.0 appears intended <br />to specify connections between the wall top and bottom sills and the existing building. The <br />detailing does not appear sufficient. The type, size, and spacing of the bottom sill fastener <br />should be specified. The top sill fastener is connected to the existing GWB ceiling, which does <br />not provide a structurally -sound connection. All connections, bracing, and supporting framing <br />should be capable of resisting a 5 psf lateral force on the walls. Where the walls are not <br />continuous to the structural floor system above, bracing should be provided. Alternatively, <br />short walls braced at -each end by intersecting orthogonal walls may be supported by <br />continuous top plates; the top plates should be structurally -adequate to span between the <br />intersecting walls. See IBC Section 1607.14. <br />8. Restrooms 111 and 112 on Sheet A1.1 are single -occupant toilet rooms. The Door Schedule on <br />Sheet A9.0 should specify lockable hardware. See IBC Section 1210.3.1 Exception 1. <br />9. The First Floor Plan on Sheet A1.1 and South Elevation 2/A4.1 indicate a new exterior wall <br />opening for the mechanical system. A detail for the penetration should be included in the <br />construction drawings. The detail should include a structural frame if required to support the <br />existing exterior masonry cladding. Calculations substantiating the frame should be submitted <br />for review. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1603.1, and 1604.1. <br />10. West Elevation I/A4.0 specifies new flag poles. The following comments should be addressed: <br />a. Keynotes 4.4 and 4.5 appear intended to specify the pole heights. The notes should be <br />revised as needed See IBC Section 107.2.1. <br />b. Keynote 4.6 specifies providing a flag pole base. Details and calculations for the base <br />should be included in the construction drawings. See IBC Sections 16036.1 and 1604.1. <br />3200 Cedar Street 425.257.8810 everetteps@everettwa.gov <br />Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax eve rettwa.gov/pe rm its <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
