Thank you for taking my call to discuss this project. I am copying the owner because I had contacted her this morning before talking with you. Per our discussion, there are still things that need to be addressed in the drawings. In order to expedite approving this permit, I am providing a punchlist of required updates. This email will serve as the review letter. I can review an advanced electronic copy of the revised drawings to verify that all issues have been addressed. Once all issues are addressed, I will advise you to submit hardcopies for final approval and processing. Please include an itemized response letter to verify how each comment was addressed; a brief response is acceptable if a more detailed response is not needed. The following comments are not itemized with any previous comments: 1. The drawings indicate that the governing codes are the 2018 editions. This project was originally submitted in 2020 and is allowed to comply with the 2015 editions. Note that this will benefit the energy credits (see below). 2. All new work should be shown. Some work shown on Sheet A2.10, including but not limited to bathroom fixtures, kitchen area, and as indicated in comments below, is not clearly delineated from existing construction. 3. The toilet adjacent to the garage does not have sufficient clearance due to the sink placement. 4. Drawings submitted by a previous designer, and previously approved for construction, indicate that one or more interior walls in the original home may be load bearing. Section A/A6.0 indicates roof trusses. The walls should be verified to be non -load bearing, or revised load paths are required. Alternatively, the drawings may specify a requirement for the contractor to verify the walls are non -load bearing prior to demolition. Note that if the walls are found to be load bearing during construction, a revision will be required to be submitted for review and approval prior to construction; this may impact the construction schedule. 5. The garage space shows habitable areas, including the existing bedroom and closet, and hallway after the bathroom. All space beyond the bathroom should be non -habitable space, and likely was all garage (i.e., the walls and raised floor were likely added without permits). All interior wall and floor construction should be shown as new. This is also new conditioned space and needs to comply with the governing code requirements for insulation. 6. The drawings should clearly show all portions of the building envelop that require insulation. This includes the new storage area door, which should be at most U=0.3. A schedule of insulation requirements should be provided. 7. A schedule of energy credits should be included. The schedule should specify the performance requirements for each selection when indicated in the selected options. The insulation schedule should be revised show improved thermal performance limits when required. 8. The CM -alarms should be located directly outside the bedroom areas. The existing bedrooms do not have an alarm. The alarm near the new bedrooms should be moved closer. The SA/CM by the half bathroom is not required. 9. The SA -alarm new the existing bathrooms in the hallway should specify a minimum 3-foot clearance to the bathroom door.
