Dear Mr. & Mrs. Newman,
Thank you for submitting the building permit application referenced above. In order to complete
the building department review additional information will be needed which is listed below.
PLAN REVIEW REQUIREMENT COMMENTS:
1 The addition to the existing building will affect some of the existing framing elements including roof
framing. Please provide roof framing details, including truss layout information, existing roof
framingdetails and connection information. Changes to existing roof framing
g g g may require an
engineered design if proposed framing is not prescriptively allowed in the 2006 International Building
Code(IBC). In addition please identify compliance to IBC Section 717 including draftstopping
locations and construction,how existing roofing material will be treated in the new attic space,
proposed roofing materials, and proposed headers at openings. If the remodel causes framing
changes, requiring point new loads please verify that new loads trace to footings below.
2 Referencing IBC Table 1607.1the uniform live load for floors in retail spaces is 100 psf(uniform) and
1000 lb concentrated. Storage areas shall be designed for 125 psf for light load, up to 250 psf for
heavy loads. Based upon the information available to our office the floor system, as designed, is not
adequate. Note that the installation of an overhead door implies that a vehicle may enter the building
and shall be designed for vehicle load. Please verify. In addition please provide a design prepared
and stamped by a Washington State licensed design professional demonstrating that proposed
materials are adequate as proposed or propose alternate materials that will support the required loads
specified in the referenced table.
3 It is not clear how porch will be framed. Sheet A-6 specifies beams while sheet A-4 indicates that
shear walls will be located on the exterior of the porch. Please verify porch framing& loading
information.
4 The design calculations prepared by James Ashley-Cole includes general nailing instructions for roof
and wall sheathing. Items #6 and#7, specify nailing at boundary edges along with field nailing atn10a
inches o/c. The specifications appear to be inconsistent with what is specified within the building
plans. Please verify.
5 A portion of the building,the front wall, is included in the lateral design. The new addition and
modifications to the existing structure do not designate shear wall locations. Please provide details
and information demonstrating compliance to IBC Section 2308, including calculations demonstrating
compliance to Table 2308.12.4. Note that spacing between interior and exterior braced wall lines
shall not exceed 25-feet.
6 Occupant load information is not shown on the building plans demonstrating compliance to IBC
Section 1004.1. It appears that the occupant load for the space will exceed 50. Please provide
occupant load calculations for review, identify exits, demonstrating compliance to 1015.2.1 (where
required), exit path, signage, aisle designation, including counters, accessible exits demonstrating
compliance to 1007, exit lighting, landings, including threshold information, door hardware and
latches, guards, and handrail information.

entrances), dimensions of restroom demonstrating compliance to ICC/ANSI 117.1-2003, and
accessible signage locations.
8 All new elements of the proposed addition and existing structure shall comply with the 2006
Washington State Energy Code. Compliance shall apply to all elements including doors, windows,
mechanical systems and lighting. Please complete non-residential energy code forms enclosed.
Include a lighting plan showing lighting controls demonstrating compliance to WSEC Section 1513.
Please make sure that the lighting plan reconciles to the required lighting summary form. In addition
please provide information demonstrating that the mechanical system complies with the Washington
State Ventilation& Indoor Air Quality Code (VIAQ).

demonstrating compliance to IBC Section 309.2. Will the storage and display area be accessible to
the public to use? Please verify.
12 Referencing IBC Chapter 17 special inspections are required when concrete is required to be greater
than 2500 psi. Note that engineer general notes specify 3000 psi. Please arrange for the engineer to
correct or provide completed special inspection authorization form designating the special inspector.
A special inspection authorization form is enclosed. In addition the engineer specifies anchor
adhesive, HIT HY150. The approved evaluation report specifies special inspection is necessary.
Mason County is willing to perform the required inspection provided holes are prepared in accordance
to manufacturers specifications. Specifications shall be available during inspection and all materials,
including anchors, are also required to be on-site during the inspection. Please identify inspection
preference.

Please mark braced wall panels on plans verifying that the walls conform with section 2308. While doing so
make sure braced walls do not exceed 25-feet in any direction. In addition please provide information about
proposed braced wall panel (4-ft panel, 2'-8" panel, etc.)
Look at section 1105, does the building comply? 60%
As indicated in the pre-application meeting, please complete the compliance forms for envelope, lighting and
mechanical. New elemnets shall comply with current code requirements.

Debbera -
Since the property is on a well, I am surprised at the assumption by the fire marshal that there is a watermain
in the area of the project capable of supplying a fire hydrant. Can you get me any county data on such a fire
line?
I am meeting with the engineer tomorrow morning to review your structural comments, however some of them
are confusing. It appears you are finding the drawings difficult to read.
#2 and #10 - Checking the rear elevation on page Al clearly shows the sill of the overhead door to be
approximately 2 ft above grade. This is a loading/unloading door only. There is no provision for a vehicle
entering the building.
#3 - Sheet A6 does NOT specify beams as structural element of the porch. The beams shown are wholly
decorative for hanging display items. No part of the building load-bearing structure rests on the those beams.
This note is found on sheet A4. The end walls of the porch are the structural elements and are shear walls,
designated so on sheets A3 &A4 as required by the engineering.
#4 - Items # 6 & 7 will be checked with the engineer.The plans will be altered as necessary.
#5 -The plans clearly show only two shear walls types in the project, #1 and #4, as described in the
engineering. These are the end walls of the porch as #1 and the new front wall of the building as #4. These are
the only two currently planned shear walls. Based on our reading of the code, we are in complyance. A more
specific comment would be greatly appreciated. It appears possible that an interior wall in the front addition was
inadverdantly left un-marked as a braced wall. We will review the referenced section of code.
#7 -The public entrance is clearly marked as is the existing access ramp and entrance. The toilet room is
also clearly marked as to clear floor areas for accessible use and the required clearances at the door and
between fixtures. Accessible signage locations are to be determined in conjunction with your department, as not
all jurisdictions follow the same ideology.
#8 -The heating system is already installed. Any questions regarding the code compliance thereof should be
addressed to that permittee. The insulation package analysis was included in the submittal with the plans. This
same documents shows the intended installed insulation levels are to meet or exceed the required prescriptive
standards of the WSEC.
#12 -The engineer has agreed to a 2500# concrete specification. He will clarify his documents. The issues of
special inspection for the adhesive will also be addressed.
Other issued identified in your letter will be addressed by the appropriate person(s) in a later communication.

CC: Waters, Larry
Please plan on responding as instructed in the last paragraph of the letter. Unfortunately when information
trickles in, in pieces, things can get lost causing lost time. Appreciate your cooperation on this.
Please contact Larry Waters at 360 427-9670 ext. 285 to discuss the Fire Marshal condition.
