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. Depending on your experience with the model codes and preparing documents, we recommend consulting with a design professional to assist you. 1. The Building Code information on Sheet A-1.0 lists the IBC as the governing code. It is presumed that the IRC is intended; comments have been provided accordingly. If the IBC is intended, additional requirements may apply, such as installing a sprinkler system. 2. Continuing with the previous comment,the building data on Sheet A-1.0 should be updated to be consistent with the IBC. For example, the Construction Type does not apply to IRC construction. 3. The project involves adding an ADU in the basement of the existing two-story house. This will require the entire house to comply with the requirements of IRC Section R314 and R315 for smoke and CO alarms. Plans for all levels of the house are required. The levels not included in the current project need only show the overall layouts of each level, window and door locations, alarm locations, and use of each room. Egress components such as hallways and stairs should also be shown. 4. The historical SnoCo records for this house do not indicate that the basement was finished (i.e., habitable). There appears to be unpermitted work, including but not limited to the bathroom by the stairs. All work at this level should be shown as new construction in the current project, or documentation substantiating that the work was previously permitted should be submitted for review. 5. The plans indicate removal of interior walls, including a long wall across most of the width of the building. Documentation is required to verify this is not a bearing wall. Structural framing plans for the basement story, including the floor framing above, should be included in the drawing set. Additional framing plans may be required pending further review. If bearing walls are removed, structural design and calculations may be required. 6. The plans do not include details for the construction of the walls, including furring at exterior walls. 7. The space is required to be insulated per the 2018 WSEC. Details for the walls, floor, and ceiling should be provided specifying the required insulation. Note that furring of the floor to provide insulation will result in insufficient head clearance in areas only providing 6'8" clearance. 8. The building is required to comply with the energy credit requirements of WSEC Section R406. A schedule of the selected credits should be included in the drawings. 9. The space is required to provide a whole house ventilation system. 10. The kitchen oven should be provided with an exhaust fan.
