k October 30, 2012 Mr. Roland C. Jankelson Mr. Jack Woods, CEO Jankelson Lacey Partnership, L.P. Always Something PO Box 98210 716 B SE Everett Mall Way Lakewood WA 98498 Everett, WA 98208 Project: Tenant Improvement for Thrift Shop: Always Something Job Address: 716 SE Everett Mall Way Plan Review No: BW1209-001 Dear Mr. Jankelson and Mr. Woods, The following correction letter replaces the corrections letter issued by our office on September 21, 2012. The following comments identify new work which requires a building permit. In response to the application submitted for a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), the plans have been examined and you are advised that this is an incomplete submittal forpermit issuance. Please submit two sets of drawings with a response letter indicating how corrections are resolved on the plan set. General %1) Washington State law states that buildings over 4000 square feet require an architect to submit ! drawings for building permit, per RCW 18.08.410 (6) and (7), where the work affects the life safety or structural systems of the building. 2) The live load capacity of the 2"d floor should be posted conspicuously using a durable sign per Section 106.1. A Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued until the floor load sign is posted. Section 106.2 3) When the building was constructed in 1979, the area of the mezzanine office on the 2"d floor was 2505 square feet. The building also had a storage loft of 972 square feet. In 2001, a permit was issued for an additional 945 square feet of 2"d floor area. The total amount of permitted/accounted for square footage of the 2"d story is therefore 3896 square feet. The total current size of the 2nd floor is approximately 4830 square feet. The additional 1000 square feet of area of the second floor should be examined by a design professional, licensed by the State of Washington for adequate storage loading. Sections 105.1, 106 and Table 1607.1 ,,-'4) The east -west shear wall, 51 feet south of the north building wall, was permitted, installed and inspected in 2001: permit B0104-041. This shear wall has been removed without permit, inspection or approval sometime after May 4, 2001. i) An architect or engineer licensed by the state of Washington should verify that this shear wall is no longer structurally required, per IBC 1603.1 or the wall must be reinstalled. 5) The north stair was installed and inspected (as noted) in 2001, permit B0104-041, as a straight run stairway. This stair has subsequently been modified without permits to be T-shape' and does not meet code requirements for rise, run and handrails. i) Winder treads (non -rectangular) are not allowed. Section 1009.4.3. ii) The rise of any stair must be 7 inches maximum. Section 1009.4.2
