4 S <br /> PUBLIC WORKS <br /> October 16, 2011 <br /> Seth Burwash <br /> Fisher Construction Group <br /> 625 Fisher Land <br /> Burlington, WA 98233 <br /> sjb@fishercgi.com <br /> Owner: Aureus LLC <br /> Job Address: 2201 100th St. SW <br /> Plan Check No: B1709-037 <br /> RE: Building Permit Plan Review Letter <br /> Dear Mr. Burwash, <br /> In response to the application for a building permit, the plans have been examined and you are <br /> advised that revisions may be necessary before a permit can be issued. Please review and <br /> respond to the comments below. <br /> In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide the <br /> Building Division with two new sets of revised construction documents reflecting the corrections <br /> requested. Please include a response letter which indicates how the comments were resolved. <br /> General <br /> 1. The building is currently over allowable area (by approximately 20%) for a mixed- <br /> occupancy, one-story building (with mezzanine) as calculated per Section 506.2.2. <br /> Alternatively, the building may comply as an unlimited area building per Section 507.5. <br /> If that designation is chosen, the required open yards will need to be shown on the <br /> plans. <br /> 2. The mezzanine was required to have two exit stairs. The current plans for the expansion <br /> do not show the eastern stair that leads into the factory. Please verify that the stairway <br /> is currently in place. <br /> 3. Air barrier testing requirements as specified by Energy Code Section C402.5.1.2 should <br /> be noted on the plans. <br /> Structural <br /> 4. It appears that the chevron (''v') braced frames are being provided between the column <br /> bays. However, it is unclear from the permit calculations that horizontal beams (HSS <br /> 5x5x3/8) have been designed with the brace forces in tension and compression modeled <br /> per the AISC 341-10 Sec 4a (1) requirements. Please clarify and revise connections and <br /> details relevant to the HSS beam. <br />
