Page 2 A geotechnical report has not been prepared for this project. The structural design is based on a minimal soil bearing capacity of 1500 psf as noted in note 10 of the general notes. Driven pipe piles have been introduced for the support of framing in the NW corner as a precautionary measure in case firm bearing soils have not been achieved. The design criteria for these piles is based on regionally accepted capacities for piles in surrounding jurisdictions, such as the City of Seattle. See attached Director's Rule for the typical criteria of this design. In lieu of requiring a geotechnical report for this submittal, we are proposing and have noted in the general notes that a geotechnical verification of this criteria be confirmed during construction. We trust this will be acceptable to the City of Everett. 7. Continuing with the previous comment, structural special inspections may be required for this project. A statement on special inspections has not been provided and should be provided on the plans. The statement should include a table listing each type of special inspection and should specify the extent of each inspection (e.g., continuous, periodic) per IBC Section 1704.3.1. The table should include special requirements for seismic and wind resiting systems as required by IBC Sections 1704.3.2 and 1704.3.3, respectively. See IBC Section 107.1, 1704.2.3, 1704.3, Table 1705.3. A Quality Assurance section has been added to the general notes, S1.0. 8. See Sheet S2.1, interior W6 shear wall located in the master bedroom. Provide a detail showing a complete load path and load transfer from roof to shear wall. R106.1.1. A new detail (7/S3.1) has been added to the plans for the load transfer of the wall noted above. 9. Plans should provide details of the new deck construction. Provide a detail of the deck post footings and deck beam connection to post. R106.1.1, Section R507.3. A new detail (8/S3.1) has been added to the plans for the construction of the deck framing and foundations. 10. See Sheet S2.0. It appears that the stairway wall is a bearing wall supporting the floor framing above. An existing footing maybe located at the wall location and should be shown on the plans or anew footing should be provided. R106.1.1. A note requiring verification of an existing footing at the stairway wall has been added to the plans. 11. See Sheet A2.1 and S2.1. The openings in the Laundry and powder Room, shown on Sheet A2.1, do not match the openings on the Roof Framing Plan on Sheet S2.1. Shear walls should be specified on the plans where required. See revised sheet S2.1 for the wall framing conforming to the architectural drawings with notes requiring shear wall construction. 12. See Sheet S2.0 and Detail 6 on Sheet S3.0. A deck lateral tie should be provided and specified on the plans. See Section R507.9.2 for the requirements and locations of deck ties. See detail 6 for added deck ties at the new construction. 13. See structural plans. All structural plans should be stamped and signed by the engineer of record. See resubmitted plans for inclusion of a stamp by the Structural Engineer of Record. We trust this addresses all the structural comments. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, SWENSON SAY FAGET, INC.
