The proposed scope-of-work is not clear. The drawings should clearly delineate between existing and new work using established drafting standards. All demolition should be shown on the existing floor plans. All new construction should be shown on the new floor plan. Where the proposed project includes modifications existing building components (e.g., gypsum wall board, insulation, etc.), these components should be similarly delineated from existing component that are not being altered.

The drawings to not provide sufficient information to address the conditions, including but not limited to repair of the front exterior egress stairs and demolition of the interior Living Room/Dining Room wall.

All proposed work should be clearly shown in the drawings. See Section R106.1.1. Architectural 1. The south exterior wall is located approximately 3.5 feet from the property line per the Site Plan on Sheet A-2. The original interior finishes have been removed per photo documentation obtained by City of Everett Code Enforcement.

The interior side should be covered with minimum 5/8-inch Type"X" GWB. See Section R102.7.1. 2. The bedrooms should have emergency egress openings. The minimum opening dimensions and area, and maximum bottom sill opening height of the floor, should be specified. Structural modifications may be required. See Section R310. 3.
