Mr. Ram Nehara Plan Check Number: CW1910-004, Second Building Review August 20, 2020 The resubmittal documents did not include an itemized review letter. A letter should be provided as required per Item (a) below to clearly indicate how each comment has been addressed. In order for the processing of your application to continue, the following documentation should be submitted to Permit Services for review: a. Itemized letter addressing the comments provided below. b. Two complete sets of revised construction drawings. c. Two copies of supplemental structural calculations. Submittal documents should contain sufficient information and detail to review the proposed project for compliance with the building codes. Upon submittal of the revised documents, your application will be given priority and the review will recommence. General 1. The proposed project appears intended to comply with the requirements of the 2015 International Residential Code. The code should be specified in the construction drawings. See the Everett Municipal Code Section 16.005.030 Article A. Codes were updated per notes in this letter. 2. The project scope appears to have significantly from expanding the existing house to modifying the existing house with a small addition at the basement level. In addition, the original submittal indicated that the project included converting the single- family residence (SFR) into an adult family home (AFH). The revised drawings do not clearly indicate if the project still involves converting the house into an AFH, but it does not appear the that house satisfies the requirements of Section R325. The scope of the project should be clarified and stated in the drawings. See Section 106.1.1. Scope of work updated. Project is remaining an SFR. 3. Continuing with the previous comment, the revised drawings appear to indicate the current scope either involves modify the existing building for use as a SFR or converting it into a duplex. Conversion of the house into a duplex requires approval from the Planning Department. Other IRC requirements will also apply. See the EMC. Project remaining a SFR and not converted to a duplex. 4. The construction drawings show a "new living space" being created under the area containing Bedroom 4. This area is shown as existing, but it was not constructed with permits and is therefore an illegal structure. Approximately half of this area is built on top of an illegally -constructed exterior deck. The construction of this portion of the building must be documented and shown to be code compliant with modifications as needed. Alternatively, is should be demolished. See Sections R102.7.1, R105.1, R105.4, 106.1.1, R113 and R301.1, and additional "Structural' comments below. Living space changed to Storage Area. S O Page 2 of 7
