In addition to the <br /> standard resubmittal requirements below, we can perform some advanced review of electronic drawings prior to <br /> resubmitting hardcopies to help expedite this project; email directly to me until directed otherwise. <br /> We have completed the first review of the building plans for this project. This email will serve as the review letter. The <br /> comments below should be addressed. Two revised full-sized hard-copies of the drawings should be submitted for <br /> review. An itemized response letter stating how each comment has been addressed should be included with the <br /> drawing. Additional revised documentation, including but not limited structural calculations and other supporting <br /> documentation, should be submitted as required. <br /> Comments <br /> 1. The project requires modified and additional framing to substantiate and improve structural load <br /> paths. Framing improvements include but are not limited to: <br /> a. First story interior walls,first floor and interior foundations to support new second floor loads. Note <br /> that due to changing the character of the building, all framing the revised load paths must support both <br /> the proposed second floor loads, 25 psf roof snow loading, and 40 psf first floor loads. <br /> b. The framing around the stair area. This framing, especially at the new second floor, supports stair <br /> stringers and floor framing supporting roof loads via the cripple walls. A beam, posts, and new/revised <br /> first floor framing and foundations may be required. <br /> c. The stair framing including the connection of the stringers to the supporting framing. Construction of <br /> the landings should be shown as well. <br /> d. Support of the new roof framing over the stairway opening. This framing is not provided with cripple <br /> walls, and the spans may exceed IRC limits even with collar ties. Supplemental framing, such as a beam <br /> spanning to adjacent walls may be required. Note that a beam may in turn require additional <br /> strengthening of the framing in the load path, such as the storage floor framing that must support a <br /> concentrated load. <br /> e. The modified walls at the new roof framing. The proposed design is to increase the wall <br /> height. However,the framing is not continuous from floor to roof framing as required. The proposed <br /> increase in the wall height effectively creates a hinge in the wall. New exterior wall studs should be <br /> installed that are continuous. Alternatively, horizontal-spanning framing to the adjacent existing <br /> continuous studs may be provided, similar to king studs around a wall opening. New studs will need to <br /> be sistered to the existing ones on each side of the discontinuous wall areas. The number of studs <br /> added should be equal to the discontinuous studs. <br /> 2. The storage area should be labeled as "non-habitable". <br /> 3. The lower stair run should be widened to the exterior wall, provided that the minimum clear height is <br /> maintained for the minimum 3-foot width. Alternatively, a minimum 3-foot tall guard wall should be <br /> constructed to avoid a tripping hazard on this side. <br /> i <br />
