1. General Requirements: a. [general drawing requirement] All drawings should be drawn on a standard sheet size (e.g., 11"x17", etc.), legible, and good reproduction quality. Original copies of drawings should not be submitted for review. b. [site plan] Site plan per IRC Section R106.2. The plan should specify lot setbacks (EMC and IRC Section R106.2), building fire separation distances (IRC Sections R202 and R302), utilities (IRC Sections R306.3 and R306.4), and means of egress from the building to the public way (IRC Section 311.1). All work should be drawn to a standard engineering scale (e.g., 1"=10', etc.). c. [grading plan] Site grading including elevation changes, retaining soil heights, and slopes adjacent to the building. Grading may be shown on the site plan or on a separate grading plan. Separate drawings are recommended where significant work is being performed. All work should be drawn to a standard engineering scale (e.g., 1"=10', etc.). See IRC Sections R403.1.7 and R404. d. [building drawings] Construction-level drawings specifying the architectural, structural, and building system requirements (e.g., mechanical, electrical, utilities, etc.). All work should be drawn to a standard architectural scale (e.g., 1/4"=1'=0", etc.). Non-structural work may be shown on the architectural drawings or in separate discipline drawings. Separate drawings are recommended where significant work is being performed. See other sections in this review letter for additional comments. e. [existing construction] The proposed drawings do not appear consistent with the existing construction of the building. Revised drawings that accurately depict the existing construction should be submitted for review. Modifications that have been previous performed without a permit should be shown as new construction and should comply with the full requirements of the 2015 IRC. See IRC Section 106.1.1. f. [standard drawing conventions] The construction drawings should be prepared using standard drawing conventions for building components (e.g, framing), assemblies (e.g, walls), and systems (i.e.,heating-ventillation-air conditioning). Typical conventions include but are not limited to: • Use of lightly-drawn or thin lines and non-shaded walls for existing work. • Use of dashed lines and diagonally in-filled walls for demolition work. • Use of bold or thick lines and shaded walls for new work. • Existing work identification proceeded with "(E)"(e.g., (E) WALL, etc.). • New work specified (i.e., 4x8 BEAM); omission of"(E)" implies work is new. g. [site address] Specify the site address on all plans (IRC Section R319). h. [project SOW] The construction drawings should include a statement summarizing the proposed scope of work (SOW) for the project. Key project elements should be listed. Information that is not in the SOW (e.g., future work not-in-scope (NIC), separate buildings on the same lot, site work including retaining walls, fences, and pools and spas, etc.) should be identified; NIC work should also be indicated in the plans. i. [additional permits] Work requiring additional permits should be listed. Additional permits may include, but are not limited to, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire sprinklers.
