| 09/01/2006 | STANTEC | 2ND PARTY REVIEW | REVIEW | Denied | August 31, 2006 To: Steve Long, Acting Building Official City of Tucson Development Services Department 201 N. Stone Avenue, First Floor Tucson, Arizona 85701 Re: Olivas Residence - Additions to existing residence City of Tucson No. T06CM00782 Stantec Project No. 816-30015-01 (078) Plan review for the above referenced project has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. In order to facilitate a shorter back-check time, we request that you please provide revised plans and calculations, clouding any changes, along with a written response to each of the noted items indicating the action taken. SCOPE OF REVIEW: The scope of this review covers Architectural, Structural, Plumbing, Mechanical, Model Energy and Electrical codes. All code references are to the 2003 International Residential Code (IRC) except for plumbing, which is to the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions and concerns before permit approval. GENERAL: There are no general comments to be addressed. ARCHITECTURAL: The following previously made comment has been partially addressed. Show calculation of attic space ventilation area required and note the location of all vents needed to comply [2003 IRC Sec. R806.2, Sec. R408 or Sec. N1102.1.7]. The code specifically references the theory of high – low venting with different amounts of ventable area required by which format to compliance is chosen. The framing plan sheet 4 and the truss package are in conflict with one another. The location and feasibility of the denote but not depicted ridge venting needs to be shown. A calculation has been provided next to the framing plan on Sheet 6. However, it simply states that 14.10 square feet of ventilation is required and that this shall be achieved through ridge vents or bird boards or turbine vents. The method needs to be more specific. How many bird board vents are required? You will need to stipulate the net free area of a typical bird board and divide it into the required area to determine the number of boards (noted "strip vent" on Detail J on Sheet 5). If you elect to use ridge vents, how many linear feet will be required? If you elect to use turbine vents, how many separate vents are required? Please, be specific. STRUCTURAL: There are no structural comments to be addressed. PLUMBING PLANS: The following previously made comment has been partially addressed. The new location of the existing gas water heater is a code violation to 2003 IRC Chapter 24 Appliance location. Code compliance is required. The water heater has now been placed in a dedicated closet within the residence. However no provisions for combustion air have been provided for this water heater. Combustion air must be provided to serve this water heater closet [2003 IRC Sec. G2407.63]. {It is assumed that the water heater is gas, although it is never identified as a gas water heater. The electrical plan and the electrical panel schedule do not identify an electric water heater, so it must be gas?} Both high and low combustion vents have been provided from the water heater closet into the bedroom? This is not allowed [2003 IRC Sec. ***]. There cannot be a vent at the water heater closet that communicates with the bedroom. There needs to be 2 ducts, a minimum of 100 square inches, MECHANICAL PLANS: The following previously made comment has been partially addressed. New Comment: The mechanical plan shows what appears to be an un-sized in-wall return duct and register. Please indicate these duct sizes and register sizes. The return duct through the roof is 28" x 35". How is this transition going to be made for the duct through the roof to this register being that it appears to be a wall register? And last question, if this is a wall register, how will this location work now that there is a door in this wall at this location for the new water heater closet? ELECTRICAL PLANS: There are no electrical comments to be addressed. ENERGY: There are no energy comments to be addressed. -End of Review- If you have any questions, please call (520) 750-7474 Sincerely, Stantec Consulting Inc.
