Thank you for forwarding these; I have placed a copy in the project folder. I do not see a record of receiving these drawings, but I have used them to perform another intake review. We revised the Trakit record yesterday to correct the entries to reflect the history of this project based on the documents in-hand. The drawings still require modifications. In addition to my original email,the following needs to be addressed: 1. The existing(as-built) plans should clearly indicate the existing walls that will be demolished. 2. The new(proposed) plans should clearly show the new walls. These should be delineated by shading the new walls (leave exiting walls unshaded), or another industry-standard method. 3. The basement of the house is not permitted as habitable space. The propose project includes providing a bedroom in the basement. The space needs to be insulated per the 2015 WSEC Chapter 4. Energy information is noted in the drawings, but the proposed insulation at all required wall and floor elements is not clear. In addition, energy credits are required per Section R406; a schedule of the selected credits should be stated in the drawings. The interior walls should comply with the requirements for exterior walls unless the entire basement is converted. Floor/ceiling and under(or over) slab insulation is also required. 4. The bedroom is below grade and appears to require a window well. Dimensions and details for both the egress window and window wall are required. See IRC Section R310. 5. The exterior walls are being modified, including but not limited to the basement egress window, and windows along the south and west main floor exterior walls. Details for the walls, including framing and insulation requirements, are required. 6. The stairway appears to be modified to lengthen the stairs. This also impacts for structural framing for the main floor. Framing plans should be provided showing the changes and demonstrating compliance with IRC Chapter 5. Details for the stair construction should be provided; see IRC Section R311.7. Note that the plans indicate the existing rise/run does not comply with current code;this is required to create the new bedroom in the basement. The minimum clearance at the top of the stairs to the interior side of the exterior east wall should be specified;this should not be less than 3 feet. 7. The house includes an exterior ramp on the east side that was installed between 2011 and 2015 based on aerial photography. There is not permit history for this work. The ramp does not appear to comply with the code. The ramp should be permitted or demolished;this should be shown in the plans. 8. Smoke alarms are required immediately outside the bedroom areas per IRC Section R314. These are only preliminary comments. Additional comments may be issued pending a review of the revised drawings.
