• • 1997; note that the permit application was in response to code enforcement action for performing work without permits, and the permit did not have a final inspection, so work under that permit is not official. The description of work under that permit mentions the carport, which differs from the original construction of the building, but other work noted does not appear consistent with changes to the west side of the building as discussed above. 2. The whole house ventilation method should be specified. The note currently lists all four options. 3. 1.5 energy credits are required for this project. 4. The house exhaust is located in the laundry room, which is separated from the remainder of the house by a door. Per our discussion, the house exhaust should be relocated to the mudroom. A local exhaust should remain in the laundry room. 5. Additional SD and CD should be shown for the existing bedrooms. 6. Attic and crawl space access openings are required. Per discussion, the crawl space access may be shown in the storage closet (Door 104) and the attic access may be shown in the mudroom. The attic access must continue through the common wall between the existing and new portions of the house. The crawl space access must continue through the pony walls; access to the old crawl space should be confirmed. 7. The pony walls should have openings to allow ventilation, particularly for the existing crawl space and middle one-third of the new building crawl space. 8. The structural notes should include a required in the truss notes for the EOR to review { and approve the truss prior to construction. The EOR should verify that the truss I ' design complies with the design requirements of the project. 9. The shear walls at the interior wall between the existing and new portions of the building, and the new east exterior wall, are not detailed. Specifically,the load path between the roof and walls is not detailed. It is presumed the either the wall framing g and sheathing continue to the roof sheathing, or the walls will be topped by trusses that are designed for in-plane load transfer. For the latter, design loads for the trusses should be stated in the drawings. In either case, a detail should be provided to inset into the drawings. For the truss option, the detail should specify connections between the truss bottom chords and wall top sill plates. 10. (Note -we did not discuss this item)The east exterior wall needs to be supported out- of-plane at the top sill plate if the wall framing is not continuous to the roof(i.e.,the wall is topped by a truss). Braces or another method must be used to resist out of plane loads. Where braces strut to the top chords of adjacent trusses, those trusses must be designed for additional vertical thrust loads; design loads should be specified in the drawings for the truss manufacturer. Details to develop the horizontal component from the braces into the rood diaphragm should be provided. Please let me know if you have questions. X gsz--z-A= Drew Martin,P.E.,S.E.
