Mr. Jeffery Kildare Plan Check Number: B2209-004 First Building Review January 4, 2023 General 1. The submitted site plan appears to include prior unpermitted work, including but not limited to the covered front porch and rear covered deck of the existing primary residence. The existing conditions shown on the site plan are not consistent with the available City of Everett and Snohomish County records. The site plan is also not consistent with photography available on Google Maps and GoSync (see attached document 2313 COLUMBIA— UNPERMITTED WORK). The drawings should be revised to show all previous unpermitted work as new work; all new work is required to comply with the current code requirements. Alternatively, the drawings should show the removal of unpermitted work and restoration of the building to its previous legally permitted condition. See IRC Sections R102.7.1, R105.1, and R113.1. Architectural 1. The front (south) side of the proposed detached accessory dwelling unit appears to be within 5' of the covered deck on the rear of the existing primary residence. Per IRC Table R302.1(1) the minimum fire-resistance rating is 1 hour. Please provide details showing compliance with the minimum fire-resistance rating. In addition, the unpermitted (see General comment 1) covered deck on the rear of the existing primary residence requires a 1 hour minimum fire-resistance rating. Alternatively, the unpermitted covered deck can be removed creating compliant fire separation between the primary existing residence and the proposed new detached accessory dwelling unit. 2. The project includes stairs. Details for the construction should be included. The stringers should comply with the joist span tables considering the net depth after notching for steps. The stair rise and run, and width, should be specified. A section showing the headroom clearances should be provided. Landings are required at the top and bottom. Handrails should be provided. Structural modifications may be required. See IRC Section R311.7 and R311.7.8. 3. Energy credits are required per WSEC Section R406. The required number of credits should be normalized per Table R406.2. A schedule of the selected credits should be included in the drawings. The performance requirements for the selected credits should be specified. 4. The project requires a whole house ventilation system per IRC Section R303.4. Show the location on the plans; the fan should not be located inside a closed room. Specify the performance requirements per Section M1505.4. 5. The house is required to have a heating system per IRC Section R303.9. The type and location of the system should be specified. If the system is new, it should be indicated as such in the drawings. Gas appliances are prohibited in the locations specified in Section G2406. 0 3200 Cedar Street © 425.257.8810 O permitservices@everettwa.gov Everett, WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits Page 2 of 3
