Please review and respond to the comments below. OUTSTANDING ISSUES 1. Previous records indicate that the construction of the exterior shell structure and framing has not received a final building inspection nor a Certificate of Occupancy issued from the original building permit, B0604-051. Records indicate that the original building has been expired and sent to archives on July 31,2012. As a result, since no occupancy has been granted,the structure would be considered an unoccupied structure and is subject to the current building code requirements as it applies to new construction. Please include additional construction plans and details outlining that the existing building components comply with the current iteration of the IBC as it applies to new construction. IBC 106.2.1. Architect response: See below follow-up meeting notes by James Bronder. We have demonstrated that the existing shell structure are in compliance with the requirements of the building code (IBC) at the time of the original permit submittal. We have added previously permitted drawings (2003 IBC code PERMIT SERVICES summary and UL Details) on sheets A0.7,A0.8 and A0.9 for your reference. New exterior work shall be constructed to the current code requirements. 0 3200CedarStreet Where exterior cladding is being modified along the existing shell, it is Everett,WA 98201 permitted that this cladding demonstrate compliance with the IBC 2003. ak 425.257.8810 See Structural response letter and drawings for structural compliance.
