O / CITY OF EVERETT Public Works Department July 29, 2019 Art Skotdal 2701 Colby Avenue, Suite 1200 Everett, WA 98201 Owner: North County Properties LLC Job Address: 2721 Wetmore Avenue Plan Check No: B1906-031 RE: Building Permit Review Letter Dear Mr. Skotdal, In response to the application fora building permit, the plans have been examined and you are advised that revisions may be necessary before a permit can be issued. Please review and respond to the comments below. NON STRUCTURAL General 1. Per our conversation, the type of construction for the upper building has changed from IIIA to VA. This review is based on that revision. Section 504.4.1 a. The allowable area calculation should be shown on the plans for the type V-A building. Section 506.2.3 b. The building height is shown as 70.85' per the elevations and definition in Section 202. Table 503.4 provides for a maximum height of 70' for Group R Occupancies of Type VA Construction. It is our opinion that the .85'discrepancy is not significant enough of a deviation to warrant either a re-design or a change to a higher fire- resistive type of construction. Section 510.2 c. The stairs are required to be pressurized for this building (and special inspected), however the elevator is not per the building code...unless I am missing something...(as stated in Note #24 on Sheet A-0.2). d. Legally required standby power should be provided for the stairway pressurization system — the method of compliance should be clarified on the plans (2ndary tap, generator, etc). e. The one-hour exterior wall listings will be reviewed upon re-submission. 2. The plans should note that mechanical ventilation for the garage will be provided.
