Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2022 4:15 PM To: shuchuan chang' Cc: plans@para-cad.com' Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 2817 Medora Way (132110-052) - First Building Review Hello, Shuchuan. This email follows up our phone conversation. I was not able to reach Mike Morrison. The review of this permit cannot be completed with the drawings submitted. They do not clearly show the proposed work; this includes any work that was already performed without permits. Mike has provided responses that basically indicate that it is not possible to determine what changed. This is the designer's responsibility to work with you to determine this, and provide drawings that clearly show this. I have reviewed photographs taken by our code enforcement officers, and also reviewed photographs available on the website Estately.com. These clearly show a lot of changes to the house that can be included in the construction drawings. Here is a link: https://www.estately.com/listings/info/2817-medora-way--1 By comparing the photos before you bought the house with the recent code enforcement photos, it is clear that much of the unpermitted work occurred after the house was purchased. You should be able to provide Mike with detailed information on the unpermitted work that was performed. I am providing a quick list of comments. This does not list everything that needs to be addressed; it is provided only to assist in creating a clear set of construction level drawings. Please also refer to the original intake review comments provided via email on 12/06/2021. The comments below are itemized for consistency with the previous comments. Additional Comments: 6. Observed changes to the house include but are not limited to: a. Expansion of master bedroom into garage. Floor framing detail required. Garage door must be removed. South window is missing. A closet has been constructed. Master bathroom created, including wall demolition & construction. Structural reframing of the wall required. b. Structural markups were included in the original drawings. These have been not been resubmitted with updates. The structural drawings should include a fastener schedule. c. The structural drawings do not provide a complete load path for the new kitchen/living room beam to the foundation(s). Additional details required. Fasteners between the beam and posts, details through the floor, and connection to the supporting foundation should be provided. New foundations may be required, particularly at the center of the building. d. The modified stairs are not code compliant, notably at the bottom. The construction/configuration of the stairs in their current condition is not consistent with the codes at the time the house was originally constructed. Modifications performed are not clear. At a minimum, it appears the basement wall has been furred out, reducing the landing. The door at the top should not swing over the stairs. The provided details are not sufficient for the changes that have occurred. It is not clear of the stairs were partially or completely rebuilt. e. The basement foundation wall has been furred. f. The basement bathroom has been completely remodeled. It appears the walls in this area have also been modified. 1
