Permit Serv,ces <br /> 3200 Cedar St <br /> Everett, WA 98210 <br /> RE: Maverick Addition <br /> Plan Check B2010-027 <br /> Dear James: <br /> Thank you for the careful review of the permit drawing submittal. I trust that you will find my <br /> response adequately addresses each of your concerns. My responses are itemized and where <br /> necessary, calculations provided for reference. <br /> 1. The permit calculations include a lateral distribution analysis for the final configuration <br /> of the structure with the proposed addition. It is unclear if the existing shear walls are <br /> adequate with the additional lateral forces created by the second-floor addition. <br /> Subsequent permit calculations indicate checks for new shear walls, but do not appear to <br /> indicate checks for existing walls such as the shear wall line along Grid 1. Please verify. <br /> IRC R102.7.1, R301.1.3. <br /> Response: The lateral design for both the new addition and existing building is included, <br /> please see supplemental calculations. Existing building walls are to be field verified and <br /> retrofitted to be W6 shear wall. No holdowns are required to resist wall overturning. <br /> 2. It appears that proposed transfer beams do not appear to account for load combinations <br /> where overturning resultants from lateral forces are considered. Permit calculations <br /> appear to only include gravity loading considerations such as dead, live, and snow loads. <br /> Please verify. IRC R102.7.1, R301.1.3. <br /> Response: Transfer beam design checks are included,please see supplemental calculations. <br /> The specified beam sizes for transfer beams supporting discontinuous shear walls are <br /> acceptable. <br /> If there are any further comments please feel free to call me directly at 206-779-6856 to avoid <br /> further corrections that can be addressed in that manner. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> (206) 779-6856 • CB@BURTENGINEERING.COM • BURTENGINEERING.COM <br />
