Mr. Corey Boyd Greater Seattle Construction Plan Check Number: C2005-002, First Building Review July 8, 2020 exposed, not including the underlayment). A detail for the wall construction should be included and specify a listed and tested assembly. Alternatively, the fire resistance is only required from the inside per Comment 1 if the existing siding is part of the original non-conforming construction. See IRC Table R302.1(1). 3. The Main Floor Plan on Sheet A1.1 indicates enlargement of the existing windows in the south exterior wall. In addition, the porch on the west side is being constructed and has an open south side. These conditions negate any previously established and approved non-conforming conditions, and the openings must comply with Table R302.1(1). It is noted that, based on discussions with the designer-of-record, the distance to the property line of 1'-9"on the Site Plan Sheet 1, dated May 12, 2020, may be incorrect; the actual distance may be larger. Revised site plans should be submitted verifying the FSD, and the area of the unprotected openings should be shown to comply. 4. Site Plan Sheet 1, dated May 12, 2020, indicates a north setback of line of 2'-0". It is noted that, based on discussions with the designer-of-record, the distance to the property may be less. However, the property appears to have an alley on the north side that provides at least a 5' FSD. The site plan should be revised and the FSD confirmed. The north wall will require 1- hour construction if the FSD is less than 5'. See IRC Section R106.1.1 and Table R302.1(1). 5. The southwest post at the porch is part of the south exterior wall. The construction is new and does not qualify as a non-conforming condition. The post is required to have a minimum one- hour fire protection. See IRC Table R302.1(1). 6. The west exterior walls at both stories are being completely rebuilt and do not qualified as a repair. The walls are therefore new construction and are required to comply with the full requirements of the 2015 WSEC. The exterior walls should have a minimum thermal rating of R-21 per Table R402.1.1. 7. The interior and east exterior stairways are required to have handrails. The handrails should be shown on the plans. See IRC Sections R106.1.1 and R311.7.8. This review has been performed for general compliance with the building codes as adopted and amended by the state of Washington and the city of Everett. Corrections and comments made during the review process do not relieve the project from compliance with code and permit requirements. The designers-of-record are responsible for a complete design in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington. If you have any questions or require additional clarification, please contact us.
