t } • Mr. Lee Michaelis Puget Sound Planning Plan Check Number: C2009-001, First Building Review January 14, 2021 Comments 1. Sheet A2 includes a partial Main Floor Plan 1. A plan for the entire house should be provided. The plan should show the locations of all walls, doors, and windows. The use of each room should be stated. See Section R106.1.1. Floor plan has been updated to include the entire existing floor plan. (sheet A2) 2. Continuing with the previous comment, it appears that unpermitted work may have been performed. Review of the City of Everett and Snohomish County records, along with photo- documentation of the house, indicates multiple discrepancies. Real estate photos indicate that the building interior has been recently modernized. The presence of unpermitted work should be investigated and included in the construction drawings as new work. Wall finishes may need to be removed to allow inspection of new work per Sections R109.1.2 and R109.1.4. See Sections 105.1. Possible unpermitted conditions include but are not limited to: a. The fireplace in the living room is missing from the south exterior wall. b. The bedroom adjacent to the Master Bedroom is not included in the previous permit drawings. An emergency egress window is required. c. Interior walls throughout the house appear to have been altered, including but not limited to: between the Kitchen and Diving Room, the widened hallway door into the Office (i.e., room providing access to the rear Family Room), and closet spaces access from the Kitchen and hallway. Other spaces such as the central bathroom and south bedroom should be reviewed. d. The south wall separating the Bedroom and the Family Room. This wall should be in the same plane with the Kitchen/Bathroom wall, but it appears farther north in the partial plan. Note that this is bearing wall supporting roof trusses. e. Modifications to the electrical and plumbing systems. f. Installation of gas piping and appliances. g. Installation of a wood stove in the living room. These potential past items are beyond the scope of this project and are not addressed in this permit. 3. Specify the location of all smoke alarms per Section R314.3(WAC). A note should be provided requiring the alarms to be interconnected and provided with back-up battery power per Section R314.3.1. Note has been added to plan. 4. The Main Floor Plan 2/A2 indicates a carbon-monoxide detector. The record documents for the house indicate that the heating system is electrical heaters. Verify if gas appliances are present and show the locations. See Sections R106.1.1 and R315.3(WAC). Heating is electric and no gas is provided to the home, however there is a pellet stove in the living room so for good measure we have shown a carbon monoxide detector. 5. The Main Floor Plan 1/A2 indicates demolition of an interior wall. This appears to be a bearing wall supporting a portion of the roof system above per Section 3/A2 and Roof Plan 3/A3. The plan does not clearly indicate that the existing girder truss is designed to support the trusses over the garage and span across the proposed opening. Additional framing, including but not limited to beams, posts, and foundations, may be required. A structural design per Section 0 3200 Cedar Street. 0 425.257.8810 0 everetteps@everettwa.gov Everett,WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/pe 00' Page 2 of 4
