, • • Response: There are no construction drawings and calculation as these are existing. They are however engineered trusses. iii) The truss design should be reviewed for conformance with the approved construction drawings and the referenced building codes, and approved for construction by the designer-of-record for the approved drawings, prior to fabrication and erection. Response:Existing truss work was completed prior to new owner purchasing the property. c. The exterior walls will require stability bracing where the wall framing is not continuous from the foundation to the roof sheathing(i.e.,the exterior walls are topped with end trusses). Details and calculations for the bracing should be submitted for review. Note that the bracing is not designed by the truss manufacturer, nor is the truss stability bracing intended to address this requirement. Response:See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • Foundations should comply with IRC Chapter 4. Wood-framed construction on foundations should comply with Section R317.1, including clearance per Item 5. Response: See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • Headers should comply with IRC Section R602.7. King and jamb studs should be specified for each header per Section R602.7.5. Response:See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • Details for the construction of the new walls should be included. The details should specify connections for the top and bottom framing plates to the existing structure. See IRC Sections R106.1.1 and R301.1. Response:See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • The building is required to have braced walls complying with IRC Section R602.10. The construction requirements of the braced walls, including anchorage to the foundations, should be included in the drawings. Note that connections to existing foundations using post-installed concrete anchors will require an engineered design. The locations of the braced walls should be specified in the plans. See IRC Section R106.1.3. Response:See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • A general fastener schedule should be provided per IRC Table R602.3(1). Providing a reference to this table in the drawings does not satisfy this requirement. In addition, the make and model of proprietary hardware should be specified where used for connections. Response:See revised plans with pictures of actual construction. • The construction drawings should specify coating cuts, notches, and holes in preservative-treated wood with a treatment complying with AWPA M4.
