Ms. Courtney Crosby • <br /> Plan Check Number: B2004-017, Second Structural Review <br /> August 5, 2020 <br /> 8. This comment has not been addressed. The use of the structure is changing and is required to <br /> comply with the requirements for new construction. This was addressed in the letter dated <br /> 06/05/20, section 2.8. There will be no new wood elements near grade. However, all current <br /> near grade are all preservative treated wood with no cuts or holes. <br /> Original Comment: The project appears to include wood elements located near grade. All <br /> structural wood including sheathing that is located within 8 inches of exposed earth or 2 inches <br /> of impervious surfaces should be naturally-durable or preservative-treated wood, respectively. <br /> Preservative-treated wood should comply with AWPA U1. The drawings should specify that cuts <br /> and holes in preservative-treated wood should be applied with a preservative treatment. See <br /> IBC Sections 2304.12.1.2 and 2304.12.1.5. <br /> Foundation System: <br /> 9. This comment has not been addressed. A foundation plan has not been provided. The <br /> foundation information provided does not appear to completely represent the existing <br /> foundations (see comments above). Photograph of the existing foundations appear to indicate <br /> the wood posts bear on a concrete pedestal of unknown construction. It is unclear if a positive <br /> connection exists between the posts and foundations. This was addressed in answers on #6. <br /> Footings have a rebar through the center and are encased in Concrete. <br /> Original Comment: The foundations for the deck are undefined. A foundation plan should be <br /> provided. Details for both new and existing foundation construction should be provided for <br /> review. Existing foundations should be detailed sufficiently to evaluate their proposed <br /> performance for the modified structure. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 1603.1. <br /> Lateral System: <br /> 11. This comment has not been completely addressed. The original comment addressed the <br /> addition of C5x6.1 framing to the existing structure. See IBC Section 107.2.1. The following <br /> comments should be addressed: It's C5x6.7 <br /> a. Drawing B appears to show the C6 sistering to only two of the five existing beams. The <br /> purpose of this new framing should be clarified. This should include stating why the other <br /> three beams due not require additional framing. There are only two beams, which was <br /> outlined in Drawing A on our previous submission. These beams are going East-West, and <br /> there are 6 Joists, North-South <br /> b. Continuing with the previous comment, clarify if portions of the existing structure are <br /> deteriorated. No portions are deteriorated. They were/are impeccably maintained. <br /> c. The C6 should be provide with connections to either the existing beams or decking, or both. <br /> Connections were outlined in Drawing B with specific details on the side. <br /> d. Drawing B appears to include notes for the connection of the C6 to the existing structure. <br /> These are not sufficient to show the required construction. A detail should be provided. <br /> Detail was provided on the right of the drawing. <br /> KM 3200 Cedar Street i�j 425.257.8810 i, everetteps@everettwa.gov <br /> �--" Everett, WA 98201 `�— 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
