4. Guard details should be included in the construction drawings. The guards should comply with IRC Section R312.1. The guards, connections to the supporting framing, and the supporting framing should be designed to resist a minimum 200-pound load per Table R301.5. 5. Smoke and CO alarms should be provided per IRC Sections R314 and R315. The locations of all alarms should be shown on the plans. The alarms should be hardwired, interconnected, and provided with back-up battery power as required. 6. The bathroom in the lower level appears to be constructed without permits and should be shown as new work. See comment 1 for more information. Bathrooms should specify exhaust fans including the minimum required performance rates per IRC Table M1505.4.4(1). 7. The proposed project appears to include the demolition of a bearing wall in the existing storage room. The modified load paths should comply with the prescriptive limitations of the IRC. Alternatively, an engineered analysis and design may be performed per IRC Section R301.1.3; sealed and signed drawings and calculations prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington are required per RCW 18.43.010, 18.43.020, and 18.43.070. The framing and foundation plans, and structural calculations as required, should show a complete load path. See IRC Section R301.1. 8. Continuing with the previous comment, the exterior wall of the kitchen is being removed. Supporting framing should be specified on the plans. 9. Plans should show the framing requirements for the stair enclosure. 10. Plans should specify post size and provide a detail of the footing including any reinforcement. In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide the Building Division with two new sets of revised construction documents reflecting the corrections requested. Please include a response letter which indicates how the corrections were resolved. These initial comments are general in nature and based on preliminary information. Additional comments will typically be generated once a complete submission is reviewed. All comments are based on the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), and/or the 2018 Washington State Residential Energy Code (WSEC), as amended by the State of Washington and adopted by the City of Everett. These comments address building issues only. Additional revisions or additions may be required by other departments (such as Utilities, Traffic, Planning or Fire). All required submittals must be of sufficient detail and information to ensure that the proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with all adopted codes.
