Associate Engineer/ Commercial Plans Examiner City of Everett (425)257-8813 dmartin@everettwa.gov The enclosed letter represents our responses to your permit review comments. Comments 1. Work on existing buildings should comply with the IEBC. The IEBC provides three alternative methods for performing work: the Prescriptive Compliance Method (Section 301.1.1), the Work Area Method (301.1.2), and the Performance Compliance Method (301.1.3). The method selected for the project should be specified. A statement should be provided clarifying the types of work that are included in the project (e.g., repairs, additions, change of occupancy, etc.) and referencing the appropriate IEBC sections. The comments provided herein presume the project will comply with the Work Area Method of Chapter 5. Based on a review of the construction drawings, the proposed project appears to include the following work: Level 2 Alternations (Chapter 8). Additional and alternative types of work required for the project should be identified by the designer-of-record. See IBC Section 101.4.7, and IEBC Sections 301.1 and 504. Work Area Method , Level 2 —Alterations is selected as the method for performing work. Repairs and additions are the types of work included in the project, as noted in Chapter 5 of the IEBC. 2. The south M-occupancy space in "Building B" appears to have unpermitted alterations. Existing conditions are similar to the "1995 1996 Daves Place" permit drawings available in the City of Everett records. The current plan has multiple discrepancies with the permitted drawings. Examples include removing a counter and adjacent room of unspecified use, changing the women's restroom into storage, changing the men's restroom into an apparent unisex restroom, adding an office, adding a cold storage, and other miscellaneous modifications. The construction drawings should be revised to include changes to the building layout. All changes should be shown as new construction. Details for the changes should be provided (e.g., wall construction, accessibility requirements, etc.). All work should conform to the IBC for new construction. See IEBC Section 801.3. New alteration work (those items that the City of Everett does not seem to have plans for) has been shown on the plans. A wall section for the new office space has been added to the plans. The revised unisex restroom has been updated on the plans to show its ADA components. Page 1 of 3
