Associate Engineer / Commercial Plans Examiner City of Everett 3200 Cedar Street Everett, Washington 98201 Plan Check Number: B1809-002, First Review Address: 2002 Madison Street Dear Mr. Martin: Thank you for the careful review of the permit drawing submittal. I trust that you and they will find my response adequately addresses each of your structural concerns. My responses are italicized for clarity and where necessary, supplemental calculations and revised drawings are provided for reference. 1. Comment: Structural and geotechnical special inspections are required for this project. A statement on special inspections shall be submitted with the permit documents. The statement shall include a table listing each type of special inspection and shall specify the extent of each inspection (e.g., continuous, periodic) per IBC Section 1704.3.1. The table shall include special requirements for seismic and wind resisting systems as required by IBC Sections 1704.3.2 and 1704.3.3, respectively. See IBC Sections 107.1, 1704.2.3 and 1704.3. Response: Please see sheet 51.3 2. The project does not appear to include a geotechnical investigation of the project site soils. Based on the location of the project site, the design soil load bearing values shall not exceed the presumptive values of Table 1806.2. The design values shall not exceed those for Class 4 materials without classification of the site soils or performance of a geotechnical investigation by a qualified geotechnical engineer. Note that the structural calculations indicate an allowable soil bearing strength of 1,500 psf has been used in the design. The design values shall be specified in the General Notes on Sheet S0.1 in Section C "Foundations". See IBC Sections 1603.1.6, 1803.1, 1803.5.1, 1803.5.2, and 1806.2. Response: See item #1 under C. Foundation on sheet SO.1
