Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Wednesday, March 8, 2023 9:07 AM To: cj@westernneon.com Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 2925 Wetmore Avenue (S2303-001) - First Building Review Hello, C.I. We have completed the first review of the building plans for this project. This email will serve as the review letter. The comments below should be addressed. Two revised full-sized hard -copies of the drawings should be submitted for review. An itemized response letter stating how each comment has been addressed should be included with the drawing. Additional revised documentation, including but not limited structural calculations and other supporting documentation, should be submitted as required. Comments 1. The proposed project involves installing a metal sign weighing 100 LBS or move above a pedestrian walkway. The sign is proposed to be anchored to an existing unreinforced masonry (URM) surface and oriented for exposure to wind loading. Calculations substantiating the design of the anchorage should be submitted for review. See IBC Section 1604.1 and 1604.4. Continuing with the previous comment, the anchorage design should be suitable to the base material. It is noted that the URM appears to potentially have a wood fagade. The fagade should be considered as a surface finishing and not used to support the sign. Furthermore, the anchorage should consider that the masonry is likely not in like -new condition and has reduced structural integrity. Appropriate material properties considering the age and condition of the masonry should be determined. The anchorage design should comply with the procedures of TMS 402-16. See IBC Section 2101.2. 3. Wind loads should be determined per ASCE 7-16 Chapter 26 and applied concurrently using the appropriate load combinations per IBC Section 1605. See IBC Section 1609.1. Please contact me if you have questions. Thank you. — Drew Martin, P.E., S.E.
