EVE RETT <br />WASHINGTON <br />Date: 3/4/2024 <br />CITY OF EVERETT <br />Public Works Department <br />Owner: Robert and Helen Ladd <br />Job Address: 5924 147th St SW <br />Plan Check No: B2211-046 <br />RE: Building Submission Re -Review Letter <br />Dear John Konrad, <br />In response to the application for a building permit, the plans have been examined and you are advised <br />that revisions are required before a permit can be issued. Please review and respond to the comments <br />below: <br />Architectural: <br />1. Due to the proximity of the window approximately halfway up the stairwell, the IBC requires one of <br />these two options: <br />a. Replacing the existing window with a window compliant with all the criteria outlined in <br />Section 1015.8 of the 2018 IBC. <br />b. A second rail should be added for fall protection on the house side, which is code <br />compliant in height, strength, and graspability. See architectural comment #2 below. <br />Please provide an appropriate solution in your letter and indicated on the construction documents. <br />2. The handrail shown in detail 2 of Sheet S6/8 does not meet the graspability requirements of Section <br />1014.3 of the 2018 IBC. Please provide a handrail meeting these detailing provisions. <br />Structural: <br />1. Photos of existing conditions used in the construction documents show hangers being used as <br />connections to beam members supporting the stair stringers in flat -wise bending. In some cases, <br />blocking appears to have been suggested to remediate the misuse of these connectors. Please ensure <br />that connectors are to be used in a manner approved by the manufacturer and/or that these <br />connectors are replaced with the appropriate mechanical hardware for the application. <br />2. On page 5/17 and 6A/17 of the calculations, it appears that it is stated that 8 stringers would be <br />needed if the span is not limited to 5 feet, then that (4) stringers work when the spans are limited to <br />5 feet. However, only (3) 2 x 12 stringers are provided on the drawings. Please ensure the spans have <br />been limited to the required minimum length per the calculations and that the correct number of <br />stringers is communicated on the drawings relative to the assumptions made in the analysis. <br />3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O Permit5ervices@everettwa.gov <br />(M Everett, WA 98201 everettwa.gov/permits <br />
