We have reviewed the revised drawings submitted on 10/28/2021. Multiple comments have not been addressed. Additional comments are provided below based on review of the revised plans;the comments are itemized for consistency with the original intake review emailed on 10/01/2021. The Planning Department has also issued another intake review noting requirements that have not been addressed; the review was sent in a separate email. Revised construction-level documents should be submitted for review. Two complete sets of the revised drawings should be submitted to replace the previously submitted drawing sets. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. The resubmittal documents should include an itemized response letter clarifying how the review comments below have been addressed. Depending on your experience with the adopted codes and preparing documents, we recommend consulting with a design professional to assist you. Additional Comments 20.The revised drawings now show conversion of the non-habitable basement to habitable space. Details for insulated walls and ceiling are required. A building section should be included in the drawings showing the minimum clearance per IRC Section R305. See also Comment 11 of the original review. 21.The basement includes a bedroom. The emergency egress window is required to comply with IRC Section R310.2, including specifying the maximum sill height, measured to the bottom edge of the opening. Based on a review of the site, a window well is also required per Section R310.2.3. 22. Continuing with the previous comment, structural modifications appear to be required to create the egress window, including but not limited to modifying the foundation wall and revising the structural load path for the building above. Structural plans and details are required. An engineered design should be performed as needed per Comment 17. 23.The Upper Floor shows access to a bedroom through a bathroom. This is not code compliant and indicates prior work performed without a permit. This area must be modified to provided direct access from the bedroom to an unobstructed egress path (e.g., hallway, etc.). This level should be reviewed for unpermitted work. At a minimum,the bedroom and bathroom should be shown as new construction. See IRC Section R311.1. Review of your project will be performed in the order received once the required documentation has been submitted. Please let me know if you have questions. i
