I Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Friday,August 13, 2021 11:55 AM To: Douglas Almond Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 1322 Rucker Avenue (B2107-065) - First Building Review Hello, Mr. Almond. 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. The Planning Department has also determined that the project is not sufficient to perform a review; they will issue a comment letter separately. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. 1. The Planning department reviewed the submitted plans and determined that the proposed addition does not have sufficient clearance with the existing detached garage. See the emailed from Alex Byrd dated 08/05/2021, Comment 2. Significant revision of the proposed project is appears to be required to address this issue. 2. The proposed project involves providing an addition onto an existing house. The drawings should include basic plans for the entire house, including the basement, showing features such as the room layouts and uses, egress, doors and windows, stairs with handrails, and smoke alarms. 3. Continuing with the previous comment, the Snohomish County records indicate the house has an unfinished basement;the size of the basement is not clear. Our records do not indicate the basement has been converted to habitable space. If the basement has been converted, it is unpermitted construction and must be addressed. 4. Smoke and CO alarms are required outside the new bedroom in the immediate vicinity. In addition, the alarms should be interconnected with the alarms throughout the house. See IRC Sections R314 and R315. 5. The addition appears to require demolition of a portion of the existing structure. This should be shown in the drawings. Modifications to the existing structure to build and provide interior access to the addition should be shown in the drawings. 6. The addition appears to require modification of the existing deck, including rebuilding or adding new stairs. Modification should be shown in the drawings. Details for modifications and new construction should be included. 7. The deck stairs should be provided with a landing at the bottom of the run. 8. The proposed lateral system included shear walls that are not continuous the foundations. In addition, the shearwalls include holdowns. The supporting framing between the walls and foundation must be designed for overstrength and vertical seismic effects per ASCE 7-16 Chapter 12. Calculations substantiating the design of the framing should be submitted for review. The magnified seismic load must be considered for all framing and connections in the load path between the walls and foundations. Review of your project will be performed in the order received once the required documentation has been submitted. Please let me know if you have questions.
