City of Everett — Small Home Proiect Guidelines The following provides minimum guidelines for preparing construction drawings for small home projects. This document is not intended to provide a detailed list of code requirements, and does not provide directions for preparing drawings for significant projects. Buildings that do not conform to the current property line setbacks may require an application to approve them as non -conforming structures before a building permit may be issued; contact the City of Everett Planning Department for additional information.

Project should be drawn legibly on a standard sheet size (e.g., 11x17); one sheet size should be used for all drawings in the set. The drawings should include floor plans at a minimum. Additional foundation, ceiling, and roof plans, exterior building elevations, building sections, and focused sections and details should be provided when necessary to properly illustrate the proposed work. Prepare the drawings using standard drawing conventions to distinguish between existing (e.g., light or grey lines, hollow walls) and new (e.g, thick or dark lines, shaded walls) construction. Draw walls to conventional widths (e.g., 4" or 6"). Include a note stating that all work shown in the plans is existing unless noted otherwise. Existing work is typically denoted as "(E) WALL" and new work is denoted as "WALL". Demolished items are typically dashed; include separate demolition plans preceding plans showing new work when significant demolition work is occurring. The construction drawings should show all rooms, doors, windows, stairs, and permanent fixtures such as counters and bathroom features. Label the use of all rooms. Identify unfinished spaces (e.g., basements, etc.). Specify the rise and run for stairs and show the location of handrails. Show all appliances such as the furnace, water heater, and stove should be shown. Show exterior decks and porches including protective railing. Show the locations of smoke and CO detectors. Provide overall and key dimensions for the house, and dimension all new work. Most existing features that are not being modified do not require dimensions, though dimensions are recommended and features should always be drawn and positioned reasonably accurately. Demolition of interior non -bearing walls should include a note identifying the walls a non -bearing and a statement requiring the contractor to verify that the walls are non -bearing prior to demolition; additional requirements may apply to verify the condition of the walls prior to permit issuance. Identify any work that has been previously performed or installed without a permit. Show it as "new" even though it is physically existing. If the exact construction is not known, prepare the
