Mr. Ismail Mohammad <br />2713 Maple Street, LLC <br />Plan Check Number: B2101-051, Third Building Review <br />April 22, 2022 <br />12. This comment has not been completely addressed. The new second floor diaphragm requires <br />continuous chords on all sides. Details should be provided. The new ledgers should be used as <br />the chords as this framing is directly connected to the sheathing. See IBC Section 2306.1 and <br />AWC SDPWS-15 Section 4.1.4. <br />Additional Comments: <br />14. The details on Sheet S03 include duplicate numbering and should be revised for clarity. See <br />Section R106.1.1. <br />15. The proposed project involves substantial demolition and infilling of the majority of the south <br />wall framing, resulting in few of the studs being continuous between the foundation, floor, and <br />roof elements. The existing headers for both stories appear to be left in -place, further <br />preventing the installation of new full -height studs. Continuous studs are required to resist out - <br />of -plane wind loading (i.e., C&C pressures) and are required for the boundary elements of <br />shear walls per AWC SDPWS-15 Section 4.1.4. The south wall should be reframed to provide <br />full -height studs on each side of wall openings, and at each end shear walls. The number of <br />studs provided at openings and wall ends should be based on analysis. Typical wall framing <br />details should be included in the drawings. The details should be consistent with the existing <br />framing conditions. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1604.1, 1604.4, 1609.1, 1613.1, and 2306.1. <br />This review has been performed for general compliance with the building codes as adopted and <br />amended by the state of Washington and the city of Everett. Corrections and comments made <br />during the review process do not relieve the project from compliance with code and permit <br />requirements. The designers -of -record are responsible for a complete design in accordance with <br />the laws of the state of Washington. <br />If you have any questions or require additional clarification, please contact us. <br />Respectfully, <br />Drew Martin, P.E., S.E. <br />Associate Engineer / Commercial Plans Examiner <br />(425)257-8813 <br />dmartin@everettwa.gov <br />S: \BMarti n\2021\B2101-051_R3.docx <br />(S 3200 Cedar Street <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />© 425.257.8810 O <br />425.257.8857 fax <br />everetteps@everettwa.gov <br />eve rettwa.gov/perm its <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />
