• Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2021 6:00 PM To: Jordan Weishaar Cc: Natasha Watts Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 2715 Hewitt Avenue (132011-033) - First Building Review Good afternoon, Jordan. I have performed an initial review of the submitted documents. Unfortunately, the documents are not sufficiently complete to perform a comprehensive review at this time. The proposed work is more substantial than we discussed am providing some initial comments for your use in revising the drawings. Depending on your experience with the building code, you should consider retaining the services of a licensed design professional to assist you. Comments 1. Only one copy of the drawings was submitted. Two copies are required. 2. The proposed work includes the removal of a number of interior walls. It is presumed that these are non - bearing walls. A note should be included in the drawings for the contractor to verify. 3. A detail should be provided for the construction of the walls. The walls should have top and bottom connections or bracing. The walls, and their connections and bracing, should be designed to support a minimum 5 psf live load per IBC Section 1607.14. 4. The occupant classification for the space should be specified per Chapter 3. The occupancy appears to be "B". 5. The occupant load should be stated in the drawings. Note that based on the area of the space and the proposed layout, the occupant load appears to be over 15. See Table 1004.1.2 and the exception of Section 1004.1.2. 6. Continuing with the previous comment, separate restrooms appear to be required per IBC Section 2902.2. The occupant load appears to exceed 15 and does not comply with Exception 2. 7. Continuing with the previous comment, both restrooms are required to be accessible per Chapter 11. 8. The modified space is required to be accessible per IBC Chapter 11. Additional dimensions or clarifications should be performed to verify. 9. Accessibility improvements are required per EBC Section 705.2. Potential inaccessible areas include the bathrooms and the main entrance. 10. The salon appears to include additional nail salon and other non -hair stations. Localized exhaust ventilation may be required per the IMC. Please let me know if you have questions.
