Ms. Corrie Stark Plan Check Number: B2006-047, Second Building Review November 24, 2020 General 1. Portions of the text in the drawings are not legible, including but not limited to smaller text using italicized font. Revised drawings with legible font should be submitted for review. See Section R106.1.1. 2. The proposed drawings do not appear consistent with the existing construction of the building. Revised drawings that accurately depict the existing construction should be submitted for review. Modifications that have been previous performed without a permit should be shown as new construction and should comply with the full requirements of the 2015 IRC. See IRC Section 106.1.1. Unpermitted modifications include but are not limited to: a. Modification of the west exterior wall for the original garage door opening. Current photo- documentation indicates a double man door at this location. b. Removal of an eave extension on the south side at the exterior door. c. Removal of a 6'+/- wide window in the south exterior wall at the west end. d. Addition of an exterior door in the west exterior wall. e. Removal of two 3'+/- wide windows in the west exterior wall. f. Removal of exiting chimney and patching of the roof along west side of the building. 3. The do not provide clear existing/demolition and construction drawings. Existing and new construction is not delineated. The drawings do not specify demolition of exterior wall openings and interior walls. The drawings should be revised using standard drawing conventions for building components (e.g, framing), assemblies (e.g, walls), and systems (i.e.,heating- ventilation-air conditioning). Typical conventions include but are not limited to: • Use of lightly-drawn or thin lines and non-shaded walls for existing work. • Use of dashed lines and diagonally in-filled walls for demolition work. • Use of bold or thick lines and shaded walls for new work. • Existing work identification proceeded with "(E)" (e.g., (E) WALL, etc.). • New work specified (i.e., 4x8 BEAM); omission of"(E)" implies work is new. 4. Work requiring additional permits should be listed. Additional permits may include, but are not limited to, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. 5. The proposed project appears intended to comply with the requirements of the 2015 International Residential Code. The code should be specified in the construction drawings. See the Everett Municipal Code Section 16.005.030 Article A. 6. Continuing with the previous comment, the proposed new construction and modifications to the existing building framing may not comply with the prescriptive limitations of the IRC. Assemblies, framing, and connections that do not comply should be designed per accepted engineering practice (e.g., IBC and reference structural standards, etc.). Structural calculations substantiating the design should be submitted for review. Special inspections may be required per IBC Chapter 17. See IRC Section R301.1.3 and IBC Section 1604.1, and additional comments below. 7. The building structure appears to include significant modifications, including but not limited to adding a glulam beam (GLB) to the roof, new floor framing that is suspended or partially 3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 0everetteps@everettwa.gov Everett,WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits Page 2 of 6
