However,the submitted documents are not sufficient <br /> for us to perform a review at this time. The Planning Department has also determined that the project is not <br /> sufficient to perform a review;they will issue a comment letter separately. Revised construction-level <br /> documents need to be submitted for review. Information is attached to provide guidance. Preliminary <br /> comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a <br /> comprehensive review. Depending on your experience with the model codes and preparing documents,we <br /> recommend consulting with a design professional to assist you. <br /> 1. The submitted documents provide sketches of the proposed project. Construction-level drawings <br /> developed using recognized drafting standards should be submitted for review. See the attached <br /> documents for additional information. <br /> 2. The partial plans show that a bedroom is attached on the east side of the garage. This does not appear <br /> to be a legally-permitted space based on a review of the City of Everett and Snohomish County <br /> records. The space was originally an addition added in 1958 as storage space at the rear of the existing <br /> garage. The current Snohomish County records show this as unfinished space. The old County field <br /> assessor records show that space as storage through 1994. The City of Everett records do not show a <br /> permit to convert the space. <br /> 3. Continuing with the previous comment, the bedroom is connect to and provides direct access into the <br /> garage. This is not permitted, further indicating that the space was potentially converted without a <br /> permit. The space is not allowed as currently configured. <br /> 4. Walls separating garages from habitable areas must have minimum fire protection construction per IRC <br /> Section R302. This includes the bathroom walls and the doors. <br /> 5. Habitable spaces are required to satisfy the insulation requirements of WSEC Chapter 4. This shall <br /> include the walls (including separate with the garage), roof, floor, and the windows and doors in the <br /> exterior walls. <br /> 6. The energy credit requirements must be satisfied when new habitable space is created per WSEC <br /> Section R406. <br /> 7. The bathroom should comply with the minimum clearances per IRC Section R307. <br /> 8. Details for the construction of the new walls should be submitted for review. <br /> 9. The proposed project involves creating new openings in the existing wall between the original garage <br /> and the addition. In addition, it is anticipated that new openings were created in the exterior walls of <br /> the addition when the bedroom space was added. Details to frame the openings should be provided. <br /> 10. The bathroom is anticipated to have a raised floor system. Details for its construction should be <br /> provided. The floor should be insulated. <br /> i <br />
