Mr. Jonathan Rempel Plan Check Number: B2006-005, First Building Review July 15, 2020 7. The proposed project appears to include emergency escape window wells on the west side. See IRC Section R310. The following comments should be addressed: a. A section should be provided through the window wall and wells indicating the vertical dimensions. b. The windows should specify the minimum requirements per Section R310.2.1. 8. The proposed project is converting a SFR into two dwelling units with modified rooms on both levels. Each habitable room should comply with the minimum area and dimension requirements of IRC Section R304. Dimensions for all rooms should be specified. 9. The proposed project includes converting an unfinished basement into a new dwelling unit. The unit is required to have minimum ceiling heights complying with IRC Section 305.1. The clearances should be shown in the drawings. 10. The proposed project includes an apparent six-foot addition on the south side at the Main level. The following comments should be addressed: a. The size of the proposed addition should be dimensioned. See IRC Section R106.1.1. b. The south side faces the property frontage. The site plan on Sheet A-1 should be revised to specify the minimum required setback on this side. See IRC Section R106.2. 11. The proposed project converts the existing SFR into two dwelling units. The floor-ceiling assembly separating the units should have a minimum fire-resistance rating of 1 hour per IRC Section R302.3. Details for the construction of the assembly demonstrating the minimum required fire-resistance should be provided. In addition, penetrations of the assembly should comply with Sections R302.4.1 and R302.4.2. 12. The proposed project appears to include substantial modifications to the existing structural systems, including the walls, floor, roof, and foundations. Framing plans and details should be included clearly indicating the existing and new construction. Note that it is not clear if the proposed design will comply with the prescriptive requirements of the IRC. Structural calculations demonstrating compliance with the IBC should be submitted for review. See IRC Sections R301.1.2 and R301.1.3. 13. The proposed project appears to remove the existing braced wall line at south exterior wall. The new building configuration should comply with the requirements of IRC Section R602.10. Note that the distance between braced wall lines for the east-west direction appears to be 62 feet, which exceeds the limits of Table 602.10.1.3 for both wind and seismic design. A lateral design for the modified structure should be performed per IRC Section 301.1.3. 14. Continuing with the previous project, the addition on the south side appears to be foundation above or behind and existing concrete retaining wall. Calculations substantiating the design of the wall should be submitted for review. See IRC Section R301.1.3. 15. The minimum fastening requirements should be specified. See IRC Table R602.3(1). A schedule should be provided including but not limited to: a. Wall studs to top and bottom plates. b. Top plate splices. 3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O everetteps@everettwa.gov Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits Page 3 of 4
