• • As discussed, this is not applicable to this project. Architectural 1. The proposed of the bathtub does not appear to comply with the minimum clearance requirements for plumbing fixtures per Figure R307.1. The design should be revised. Design has been revised. 2. Handrails should be specified for all stairs per Section R311.7.8. Added to plans as needed. 3. Smoke and CO alarms should be shown throughout the house per Sections R314 and R315. Alarms should be hardwired, interconnected, and provided with back-up battery power. Smoke and CO alarm locations have been updated on the plan. This is an older house — no existing hardwired or interconnected alarms are installed. Scope of remodel appears to exempt the need to change this per sections R314.2.2 and R314.4 exceptions. 4. The new sliding glass door and window adjacent to the bathtub should be safety glazing. See Sections R308.4.1 and R308.4.5. Both the sliding glass door and window adjacent to the bathtub will be glazed/tempered per code. Drawings updated to reflect this. Structural 1. The proposed project appears to require enlarging the exterior wall openings for the new doors and windows. Structural framing should be shown on the plans. Existing framing supported by the new framing should be shown to demonstrate loads tributary the new framing. Existing framing supporting the revised framing should be shown to demonstrate a clear and compliant load path to the foundation. The proposed construction should substantiate compliance with the prescriptive limitations of the IRC. Alternatively, an engineered design may be performed per Section R301.1.3. See Sections R106.1.1 and R301.1. Proposed project will combine two existing openings—current slider and adjacent window- for new sliding glass door and will likely require framing to lessen the combined opening to fit new slider. Structural drawings included. Loads should not be affected.
