Mr. Alex Litovchenko Masada Construction, LLC Plan Check Number: BW2001-002, First Building Review August 21, 2020 Architectural 1. The project includes an illegal kitchen that is being removed. The kitchen is presumed to include a hood for the range. Each dwelling unit is limited to one kitchen unless a variance is approved by the Planning Department (EMC). The hood should be identified for demolition to prevent the installation of cooking appliances. See Section R106.1.1 2. The bedrooms on the Lower Floor Plan cannot be confirmed as existing. The location, size, and bottom sill height of all windows should be specified in the drawings. The windows should comply with the requirements for emergency escape windows per Section R310. The note to "VERIFY EGRESS" is not sufficient to address these requirements. 3. Details for the construction of all walls (i.e., interior and exterior, bearing and nonbearing) should be provided. Walls should include fire blocking per Section R302.11. 4. Details for the exterior wall infills should be provided. The exterior walls should be covered with a weather-resistant materials per Section R703, including a barrier per Section R703.2. Wall should specify insulation per WSEC Table R402.1.1. 5. The drawings include demolition of an unpermitted structure on the east side of the building. The existing structure to-remain should be repaired at the interface with the demolished structure to provide an intact weather barrier. See Sections R703 and R903. Structural 1. The drawings specify removal of load bearing walls at the Main Floor Plan on Sheet 2 and new gravity framing to support the roof. See Section R301.1.3 and IBC Chapter 16. The following comments should be addressed: a. The proposed construction is not clear. The drawings should include a roof framing plan showing all new and existing framing. The long-span beam appears to specify two sizes. Footnote 7 indicates a new 4x10 beam, but the location is not clear. See IBC Section 1603.1. b. Continuing with the previous comment, the framing plans should include a complete load path to the foundation. Supporting posts and foundations should be provided. See IBC Sections 1603.1 and 1604.4. c. Details should be provided connecting all framing members. The make and model of proprietary connections should be specified when used. See IBC Section 107.2.1. d. Calculations substantiating the modified framing and connections should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.2. 2. The drawings indicate that the existing deck will be demolished and rebuilt. The note provided on the plans is not adequate to perform this work. Framing plans should be provided for the design deck complying with Section R507. Stair details should comply with Section R311.7. Guards should be provided per Section R312.1; the guards, the connections to the main structure, and the framing supporting the guards, should be designed and detailed for the live 3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O everetteps@everettwa.gov Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits Page 3 of 4
