• • This is now included. The city permit staff at the in-person appointment on April 13, 2022 advised that the 2018 IRC does not require these to be hardwired as long as they are wirelessly interconnected. 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). See response to question #1; this is now shown as new work (Drawing 2). Exhaust fan location is added. 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. This is not a load bearing wall. 8. Continuing with the previous comment, the exterior wall of the kitchen is being removed. Supporting framing should be specified on the plans. This is now added to the plans (Drawing #3). 9. Plans should show the framing requirements for the stair enclosure. This is now added to the plans (Drawing #3). 10. Plans should specify post size and provide a detail of the footing including any reinforcement. This is now added to the plans (Drawing#3). List of enclosures: - This response to comments - 2 copies of the drawings (4 drawings each set, 8 sheets total) - Revised letter from structural engineer, Peter Chopelas, including revised calculations for the deck and enclosure framing 313
