• • y Ms. Michele Martin Plan Check Number: BW2007-005, First Building Review September 23, 2020 Comments 1. Floor plans should be provided for all levels of the house. The use of each room should be specified. See Section 106.1.1 and additional comments below. 2. The existing condition of the building as shown in the proposed construction drawings is not consistent with the City of Everett permit history for this building. The proposed work should include the new walls on the south and east sides of the proposed garage. See Sections R102.7.1, R105.1, R105.4, 106.1.1, and R113. 3. Sheet 2 appears to provide stock details that are not used for this project. The drawings should be revised to remove information that is not required and clarify the project scope. See Section 106.1.1. 4. The"Garage Wall Section"on Sheet 2 appears intended for the construction of the new exterior walls enclosing the existing carport. The following comments should be addressed: a. The wall should provide a minimum clearance above the exterior grade of 8 inches to the structural sheathing. See Section R317.1(2). b. The section should specify a connection to the roof framing above. See Section R602.10.8.2 5. Garages should be provided with gypsum board (GWB) covering the walls complying with IRC Section R302.6 and Table 302.6. The following comments should be addressed: a. The wall between the garage and the house should specify the required covering on the garage side. b. The"Tool Room"appears to be an extension of the garage and therefore the wall covering should be provided in this room separating it from the house. c. The Floor Plan on Sheet 1 appears to show windows in the common wall between the house and the garage/tool room area. Unprotected openings are not permitted along this wall. Alternatively, if these wall are occurring above the roof line, the plan should be revised to show the actual condition. 6. The following comments should be addressed for the garage floor per Section R309.1: a. The garage floor should be constructed of non-combustible materials. b. The floor surface should be sloped for drainage per IRC Section R309.1. c. The floor is presumed to require partial demolition and repair to install the new perimeter foundation. A detail to perform this work should be included in the construction drawings. See Section R106.1.1. 7. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms should be provided per IRC Sections R314.2.2(WAC) and R315.2.2(WAC). Smoke alarms should be interconnected per Section R314.5. Combination alarms are permitted per Sections R314.5 and R315.4. O3200 Cedar Street O 425.257.8810 O everetteps@everettwa.gov Everett,WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/. mits Page 2 of 3
