Jose Villagomez <br /> Cascade Cleanup and Restoration, Inc. <br /> Plan Check Number: B2106-009, First Building Review <br /> October 12, 2021 <br /> 13. The plans should show that the building is required to undergo an air leakage test (performed <br /> by a licensed 3rd party agency). The testing requirements should be shown on the plans <br /> according to WSEC Section R402.4.1.2. See selected energy credits for additional requirements. <br /> 14. See selected energy credit option 3.5. The plans should specify the option being selected and <br /> should specify the heating equipment type and the minimum equipment efficiency. WSEC Table <br /> R406.3 <br /> 15. See selected energy credit option 4.2. The plans should specify the option being selected and <br /> should specify the heating equipment type and show the location of the heating and cooling <br /> equipment. <br /> 16. See selected energy credit option 5.3. The plans should specify the option being selected and <br /> should specify the water heating equipment and the minimum efficiency. <br /> 17. See selected energy credit option 7.1. The plans should specify the option being selected. <br /> Structural <br /> 1. Braced wall lines should be identified on the construction drawings. R106.1.3 <br /> 2. See APA Wall Bracing Calculator Project Report, Sheet A-1 and A-2. The maximum braced wall <br /> line spacing for all residential structures in SDC DO — D2 is 25 feet, with two exceptions where <br /> the code allows spacing of 35 feet (see IRC Table R602.10.1.3 and Item Number 3 in IRC Table <br /> R602.10.3(4)). It appears that the braced wall line spacing is 40 feet for the two-story house <br /> and this exceeds the maximum allowed of 35 feet. Please update the layout of the braced wall <br /> lines to meet the maximum allowed distance and update the calculations in the APA Wall <br /> Bracing Calculator Project Report. <br /> 3. Continuing with the previous comment, Braced Wall Line A on page 2 of the calculations should <br /> be updated to a wall length of 26 feet. The first story wall on Wall Line A is not a continuous <br /> 60-foot wall. Also, calculations should be updated to Seismic Design Category D2 per EMC <br /> Section 16.01.010(J) <br /> 4. See Sheet A-1. A braced wall system is required on the garage walls adjacent to the garage <br /> doors and the back of the garage/entrance into the house. Plans should specify type, location, <br /> and provide any required details. It appears that a detail for CS-PF is provided on a sheet not <br /> numbered (next page after A-5). Plans should reference detail and specify location. Note that <br /> (2) 3'-0" CS-PF braced walls on each side of the garage door opening may not meet the <br /> required braced wall length for seismic and should be verified. See Table R602.10.3(3) for <br /> bracing requirements based on seismic design category D2 and Table R602.10.3(4) for any <br /> applicable seismic adjustment factors. <br /> 3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O everetteps@everettwa.gov <br /> Everett,WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
