Mr. Ram Nehara <br />Plan Check Number: CW1910-004, Second Building Review <br />August 20, 2020 <br />between the insulation and roof sheathing per Section R806.3. Roofs with attic spaces should <br />provide access hatches per IRC Section R807. <br />10. Sheet A4.1 includes a table of thermal ratings (i.e., Rm;n, Umax) for components of the exterior <br />envelope. The details for the foundation walls and slab -on -grade do not show the required <br />insulation and thermal breaks, and should be revised. The wall between the new living space in <br />the basement and the unfinished storage area also requires insulation. See WSEC Table <br />R402.1.1. <br />11. The "Energy Measures" section of Sheet A0.1 lists 0.5 energy efficiency credits for a 500 SF <br />addition per WSEC Section R406. The addition includes the unpermitted main floor area (i.e., <br />Bedroom 4) for a total area of approximately 600 SF. A minimum of 1.5 credits are required for <br />the project. Additional credits should be specified. <br />12. The smoke alarms should be interconnected per Section R314.5. <br />13. Provide a whole house ventilation system complying with See IRC Section M1507.3. The <br />drawings should state compliance with one of the systems specified in Sections M1507.3.4 <br />through M1507.3.7; the requirements for the selected system should be specified in the plans. <br />See IRC Section R303.4 (WAC). Where an exhaust fan is required, the location and exhaust <br />rate should be specified in the plans. <br />14. The location and type of heating system per IRC Section R303.9 (WAC). Gas appliances are <br />prohibited in the locations specified in Section G2406. Use of space heaters and wood stoves <br />are not permitted as the primary heating system. Solid fuel devices (e.g., wood stoves) should <br />comply with IRC Section R303.9.3 (WAC). <br />15. The building should be provided with a system supply hot water per IRC Section R306.4. The <br />location and type of system should be specified in the drawings. Seismic restraints should be <br />specified for tank water heaters per IRC Section M1307.2. <br />16. The architectural drawings include structural information that duplicates or differs from <br />information provided in the structural drawings. A note shall be provided on all sheets stating: <br />"The architectural drawings include structural information that is duplicated by the structural <br />drawings. Where discrepancies occur, the structural drawings shall control the structural work <br />to be performed." Alternatively, structural requirements should be removed from the <br />architectural drawings. See Section 106.1.1. <br />Structural <br />1. Structural and geotechnical special inspections may be required for this project where the <br />design is performed per the IBC. The statement should include a table listing each type of <br />special inspection and the extent of each inspection (e.g., continuous, periodic) per IBC Section <br />1704.3.1. The table should include special requirements for seismic and wind resisting systems <br />as required by IBC Sections 1704.3.2 and 1704.3.3, respectively. See IBC Sections 107.1, <br />1704.2.3 and 1704.3. <br />03200 dar <br />Everett WAStreet98201 O 425.257.88577 fax O everett asgov/permitgov <br />s <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
