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. Information is attached to provide guidance. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. Depending on your experience with the model codes and preparing documents, we recommend consulting with a design professional to assist you. The submitted documents provide sketches of the proposed project. Construction -level drawings developed using recognized drafting standards should be submitted for review. See the attached documents for additional information. 2. The partial plans show that a bedroom is attached on the east side of the garage. This does not appear to be a legally -permitted space based on a review of the City of Everett and Snohomish County records. The space was originally an addition added in 1958 as storage space at the rear of the existing garage. The current Snohomish County records show this as unfinished space. The old County field assessor records show that space as storage through 1994. The City of Everett records do not show a permit to convert the space. 3. Continuing with the previous comment, the bedroom is connect to and provides direct access into the garage. This is not permitted, further indicating that the space was potentially converted without a permit. The space is not allowed as currently configured. 4. Walls separating garages from habitable areas must have minimum fire protection construction per IRC Section R302. This includes the bathroom walls and the doors. 5. Habitable spaces are required to satisfy the insulation requirements of WSEC Chapter 4. This shall include the walls (including separate with the garage), roof, floor, and the windows and doors in the exterior walls. 6. The energy credit requirements must be satisfied when new habitable space is created per WSEC Section R406. 7. The bathroom should comply with the minimum clearances per IRC Section R307. 8. Details for the construction of the new walls should be submitted for review. 9. The proposed project involves creating new openings in the existing wall between the original garage and the addition. In addition, it is anticipated that new openings were created in the exterior walls of the addition when the bedroom space was added. Details to frame the openings should be provided. 10. The bathroom is anticipated to have a raised floor system. Details for its construction should be provided. The floor should be insulated.
