• p GC�I�U�IL� August 2, 2021 AUG052021 CITY OF EVERETT TO: Drew Martin Permit Services FROM: Philip Gerou RE: Comments sent regarding application #BW2012-015 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. The revised plans show walls to be existing walls to be removed. 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. The proposed plans now show new walls and framing shaded. Framing notes are on Page A-5 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. The proposal to turn the basement into habitable space has been withdrawn. It is noted that the areas of the existing washing machine and dryer and proposed new bathroom do have ceiling heights that exceed 6'8"to comply with code. 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. The window is not below grade and the proposed egress window changed to a standard window. 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. Framing detail, construction notes,window schedule,and insulation schedule are included on page A-5. 1
