I Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Tuesday,June 15, 2021 3:57 PM To: Drey Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 6611 Wetmore Avenue (B2106-010) - First Building Intake Review Hello, Mr. Kamenchuk. Your application has been received and a permit set up. However, the submitted documents are not sufficient for us to perform a review at this time. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Information is attached to provide guidance. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. 1. The drawings have been submitted on 11x17 sheets that appears smaller than the original drawing size. The scales are reduced and the drawings are difficult to read. The plans should include a north arrow to clarify the orientation. 2. The submitted drawings appear to show conditions that are not consistent with the permitted condition of the building. The building was modified under permit C1301-016; the permit was finalized on 05/20/2016, indicating the work was performed as shown in those drawings. The current drawings shown significant deviations indicating unpermitted work. Note that the Snohomish County records shown the building as having three bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathroom should be on the Main Level, which is not indicated; any other bathrooms in the building were not constructed with a permit. The drawings should be revised to show all portions of the house. All modifications that deviate from the previously known permitted condition should be shown as new. Modifications include but are not limited to removing the Main Level bathroom and bedroom including closet (located in garage space) removed, and expanding the kitchen. 3. The proposed work appears to require structural modifications, including but not limited to modifying the Main Floor to construct a new stairway to the basement level. Structural drawings should be provided. Structural calculations should be submitted as needed per IRC Section R301.1.3. 4. The position of the new basement stairway is not clear. It does not appear to be consistently shown in the Lower and Main Floor Plans. The position in the Lower Plan appears to conflict with the existing stairway to the Attic in the Main Plan. The stairway should be clarified and modified as needed. A section should be provided through the stairway confirming that the minimum required head clearance is provided. 5. The clear height in the basement should be specified in the plans. 6. The Lower Plan appears to show a whole house ventilation fan in the Basement bathroom. The fan should not be located in a room closed from the remainder of the house. Se the IRC requirements for air flow to the fan. 7. Sheet A2 appears to reference the energy requirements of IRC Chapter 11; this chapter has not been adopted by the WAC. Energy requirements should comply with the residential provisions of the 2018 WSEC. This document should be listed in the codes on Sheet Al. Energy credits should be specified per Section R406. 8. The opening requirements for the egress windows should be specified. The height of the opening above the finished floor should be specified. i I2
