Structural 1. It appears that new wall openings are being added to the existing building as well as new roof framing with a portion of this framing attaching to the existing structure. A new slab-on-grade is being added for the majority of the building. By inspection, the proposed work appears to comprise more than 50% of the building area. Per IEBC Sec 907.4.1, please provide an engineering analysis and evaluation report for seismic forces acting on the altered structure. 2. From the submitted permit calculations, it appears that the existing beams labeled G1 through G4, used a snow loading of 20 psf uniform snow load for evaluation. The design snow loading is 25 psf uniform non-reducible. Please revise the calculation as required and provide details for possible strengthening, if required, for gravity framing members affected by placement of new mechanical units per IEBC Sec 907.3. In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide the Building Division with two new sets of revised construction documents reflecting the corrections requested. Please include a response letter which indicates how the corrections were resolved. All codes cited refer to the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), the 2015 International Fire Code (IFC), the 2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC), and/or the 2015 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC), as amended by the State of Washington and adopted by the City of Everett. The current IBC referenced standard for accessible design is the 2009 "Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities" (ICC/ANSI A117.1). Federal ADA regulations and standards may be more restrictive. These comments address building issues only. Additional revisions or additions may be required by other departments (such as Utilities, Traffic, Planning or Fire). All required submittals must be of sufficient detail and information to ensure that the proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with all adopted codes.
