Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Friday, January 15, 2021 6:25 PM To: Mandy Liu Subject: City of Everett Permit Services: 2228 127th Place SE (B2101-019) - First Intake Building Review Ms. Lui, Your application has been received and a permit set up. However, the submitted documents are not sufficient for us to perform a review at this time. The Planning Department has also determined that the project is not sufficient to perform a review; they will issue a comment letter separately. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. 1. Additional details clarifying the proposed floor, wall, and roof construction are required. 2. The project description indicates a new bathroom, which does not appear to be shown. 3. Additional clarification on the use of the addition should be provided. Clarify the room between the storage and the garage. 4. The drawings specify insulation that does not comply with the requirements for heated space. The following should be addressed: a. Clarify if this area is to be heated. If so, the insulation will need to be revised. b. Clarify the source of heating. c. Energy credits per WSEC-15 Section R406 should be specified. 5. A continuous foundation per IRC Section R403.1 is required at the exterior walls. Alternatively, an engineered design may be performed per Section R301.1.3. 6. Anchorage of the braced walls is required to the foundations. 7. Decay-resistant construction is required for the floor framing and walls per IRC Section R317.1. 8. The addition appears to create an area between it and the main building that cannot be accessed. However, this may be the overhang of the upper level, and additional clearance exists. The building perimeter at the lower level should be shown in the plans. 9. The proposed floor construction is not within the prescriptive limits of the IRC. The design should be revised, or an engineered design may be performed per Section R301.1.3. 10. The roof ridge board is not defined. The size must be sufficient for a span of up to 20 feet per the drawings. 11. The design requires headers at the doors and windows. King and jamb studs are required. 12. The drawings do not specify material and fastener requirements. A schedule of fasteners should be provided in the drawings; references to the IRC are not sufficient. All proprietary hardware should be specified. 13. Landings is required at the exterior doors. 14. The minimum thermal rating for the exterior doors should be specified. 15. Details for the roof overhang at the south side are required. The plywood does not have sufficient strength without support. 16. The size, height, and minimum thermal rating for the windows should be specified. 17. The construction of the roof at Section 3/A-002 is not clear. The framing is not continuous between the exterior walls and does not provide a support at the ridge. 1
