Your application has been received and a permit set up. However,the submitted documents are not sufficient for us to perform a complete review at this time. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Information is attached to provide guidance. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. 1. The submitted drawings were printed on 8.5x11 paper and are not legible. The drawings should be submitted on the 18x24 paper matching the original drawn scales. 2. The proposed project involves significant structural modifications to the house, most notably but not limited to the roof. The design appears to exceed the prescriptive limits of the IRC and requires an engineered design per Section R301.1.3. Structural drawings and calculations should be sealed and signed by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington. See RCW 18.43.010, 18.43.020, and 18.43.070. Alternatively, the design should be revised to comply with the limits of IRC Section R802. 3. Continuing with the previous comment, the plans do not clearly delineate between existing and new walls. The Existing Floor Plan 1/A2 should show the walls to be demolished. The New Floor Plan should delineate between new and existing walls. Other features including but not limited to new and relocated fixtures (bathroom) and doors (front door) should similarly be drawn to indicate they are new work. 4. The submitted plans do not show the lower lever. The proposed project includes new gravity framing extending through the building to the lower level. New foundations are required. A plan showing the lower level and work occurring at this level should be provided. 5. Continuing with the previous comment, the lower level should include an undeveloped area of approximately 350 sf. If this areas has been converted to habitable space, it was performed without permits. The condition of this area needs to be clarified. Any work to convert this area needs to be shown as new work, or the area needs to be returned to a non-habitable space. 6. The submitted plans are not clear on the status of the covered deck in the SE corner, which potentially is shown as interior space in the Existing Floor Plan. Note that if the deck area has been previously converted to interior space, this work was performed without permits. See the attached SnoCo record showing that the house should have an exterior deck in this area. The condition of this area needs to be clarified. Any work to enclose this area and incorporate into the building needs to be shown as new work, or the area needs to be returned to an exterior deck. 7. The submitted plans are not clear on condition of the outdoor patio in the NE corner. The SnoCo records shows this area is covered but not enclosed. Note that the placement of the fireplace is not consistent. Streetview imagery shows that at least part of the north side should have open wall area. Work enclosing this area appear to have been performed without permits and should be shown as new work. 8. Sheet A2 indicates that the project includes significant remodel to the upper floor level. This appears to include expanding a portion of the building area onto the existing covered deck at the SE corner. The submitted drawings are not sufficient for the proposed work. Reframing of the floor is anticipated. Sections and details for the walls and floors should be provided. The new exterior wall elements should be insulated per the WSEC. 9. The plan on Sheet A5 only appear to represent the roof framing construction. The ceiling construction is not shown. Additional requirements including but not limited to the roof insulation and ventilation are required. 10. Continuing with the previous comment, additional structural details should be provided for the framing supporting the roof and the foundations. The note addressing the "brace" construction to 2
