• Mr. Michael Vinson DM General Contractor Plan Check Number: B2108-010, First Building Review August 20, 2021 General 1. The existing building as shown appears to have discrepancies with the available records and photography. For example, the windows in the east exterior wall at the Second and Third floor appear to be located farther north, leaving little to no wall between the windows and the building corner, whereas the plans should substantial wall between the windows and the building corner. Other discrepancies may occur. The existing condition of the building should be reviewed and the plans revised as needed. See IBC Section R106.1.1. 2. It appears that additional unpermitted work may have occurred in the house. For example, the existing building only appears to have a single bathroom located in the Master Suite. The drawings do not show other bathrooms, nor is the location of an existing bathtub or shower shown. All previously unpermitted work should be shown on the drawings and represented as new work under this permit application. All existing conditions to be demolished should be shown. See Sections R105.1, R106.1.1, and R113.1. 3. The project may include work that requires an engineered design per Section R301.1.3 and additional comments below. Structural calculations substantiating the design should be submitted for review. Structural drawings and calculations should be sealed and signed by the FOR per RCW Sections 18.43.010, 18.43.020, and 18.43.070. See Section R106.1 and IBC Section 107.1. 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. 2. Handrails should be specified for all stairs per Section R311.7.8. 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. 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. 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.
