• Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Wednesday,July 14, 2021 2:11 PM To: Charlie Apel Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 1818 Holbrook Avenue (B2106-064) - First Building Intake Review Attachments: 1818 Holbrook Avenue.pdf Hello, Mr. Apel. Your application has been received and a permit set up. However,the submitted documents are not sufficient for us to perform a review at this time. See also comments from the Planning Department emailed on 07/13/2021. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Information is attached to provide guidance. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. 1. The house at 1818 Holbrook is subject to code enforcement action under file number CE21- 0361. Multiple unpermitted conditions were identified that do not appear to be addressed in the submitted construction drawings. A record of the unpermitted work is attached for your convenience. The revised submittal documents should include a response letter indicating how each of the identified unpermitted conditions has been addressed. Note that additional unpermitted conditions should also be addressed regardless of whether they are included in the attached record. 2. Continuing with the previous comment, the submitted drawings are generally intended to show structural modifications. Separate architectural drawings should be provided shown conditions and changes to the building. These are necessary to clarify the use of all spaces in the house, including removing unpermitted features (i.e., second kitchen) and returning non-habitable spaces (e.g., south portion of the basement level) to their original condition unless permitted to comply with the current code. 3. Continuing with the previous two comments, the drawings do not accurately show the existing conditions of the building. For example, the exterior door and window at the southeast corner of the basement level are not original construction;this was verified through photo-documentation before and after non-permitted work was performed. All unpermitted work should be shown as new construction. Work to return the house to its originally permitted condition should similarly be shown as new. 4. The plans include architectural changes. For example,the existing window opening will be infilled on the south side of the Main Level per Sheet S-6; insulation is required. Other requirements include but are not limited to adding a new guard along the deck. All non-structural work should be included in the architectural drawings. 5. The proposed structural work is not clear. The drawings have been prepared with non-standard drafting conventions, typically using blocking and solid lines, that do not clearly distinguish the building elements. Existing and new elements are not clear. Revised structural drawings that clearly show the intended construction should be submitted for review. 6. Continuing with the previous comment, the drawings do not clearly distinguish between existing and proposed conditions. For example, Sheet S-5 appears intended to show the existing main floor layout with demolition specified, while Sheet S-6 appears to show the new main floor layout. The plans are
