Mr. Sukhmeet S. Birk <br />American Eagles Management Services, LLC <br />Plan Check Number: BW2004-004, Second Building Review <br />August 13, 2020 <br />4. Foundation Detail 6/S-2.0 specifies a minimum clearance of 6 inches between the soil and top - <br />of -concrete. This places the structural wall sheathing and floor framing within 8 inches of <br />exposed soil. The framing should be specified as naturally -durable or preservative -treated <br />wood. Alternatively, the clearance should be increased to 8 inches. Details in the architectural <br />sheets should be similarly revised for consistency. See IBC Section 2304.12.1.2. <br />5. Continuing with the previous comment, the drawings should specify that cuts and holes in <br />preservative -treated wood should be coated with a preservative treatment compying with APWA <br />4. See Section R317. <br />6. The plans appear to be missing new headers, beams, and posts throughout the building. The <br />framing plans should be revised to show the entire load path. Connections should be specified. <br />Calculations substantiating the design of all framing and connections should be submitted for <br />review. See IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.4. <br />7. Continuing with the previous comment, the project appears to require proprietary hardware <br />(e.g., framing connections, post -installed anchors, etc.). The construction drawings should <br />specify the make and model for each type of proprietary connection. Fastening requirements <br />(e.g., nail sizes and count, etc.) should be specified for each component where applicable. See <br />IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 1604.1. <br />8. The Existing Roof Framing Plan on Sheet 4 indicates an existing (3)2x6 beam supporting part of <br />the existing roof and new overframing. The beam appears to have a span of up to 16 feet. <br />Calculations should be submitted evaluating the beam, supporting posts and foundations, and <br />associated connections. The evaluation should consider current snow loading requirements. <br />The 2x6 pieces should be considered as individual members (i.e., no restraint against lateral - <br />torsional buckling) unless details are provided demonstrating interconnection to provide <br />composite performance. See IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.4. <br />9. The typical wall construction shown in Detail 1/S-1.0 is incomplete. Omissions include but are <br />not limited to king and jack stud requirements. See Section R602. <br />10. Detail 1/S-2.0 shows the construction of the gable ends. The construction does not appear <br />structurally adequate to support the required construction live and snow loads. The detail does <br />not provide structural support for the cantilevering sheathing. The details should be revised. <br />Calculations substantiating the design should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections <br />107.2.1, 1603.1, 1604.4, and Table 1607.1. <br />11. The shear wall schedule on Sheet S-2.0 specifies 3/8-inch sheathing. The structural calculations <br />indicate 15/32-inch sheathing is required. The drawings should be revised. See IBC Section <br />107.2.1 and 1604.2. <br />12. The locations of the shear walls and holdowns are not specified in the plans. The extent of the <br />shear walls should be shown. The locations of holdowns should be specified where required. <br />Holdowns are required unless substantiated with calculations to not be required. The <br />calculations should consider overturning in each individual wall pier unless the walls are <br />3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O everetteps@everettwa.gov <br />Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
