09/12/2006 KEN VAN KARSEN BUILDING-RESIDENTIAL REVIEW Denied PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS for Activity # T06CM03792

Plan review for the above referenced structure 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, highlighting any changes, along with a written response to each of the noted items indicating action taken.

SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2003 International Residential Code, 2003 International Energy Conservation Code, and Arizona State amendments 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 REQUIREMENTS:

All corrections and revisions shall be made on original tracings or finished reproducible set. Return this set and a copy along with a set of the first submission. Pen or pencil corrections on final prints will not be acceptable. To avoid delays, ensure that all corrections have been made, are complete, and have been coordinated on all applicable detail and note sheets.

All engineers and architects involved in the design of the structure are to seal the related sheets of plans, details and calculations in accordance with the rules of the State Board of Technical Registration.

As of 9-02-04 the City of Tucson has adopted the 2003 IRC with the exception of the plumbing portion which has been replaced with the 2003 UPC with amendments. All plans should reference these codes. See this site for all adopted amendments: http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Codes___Ordinances/Building_Codes/building_codes.html

SITE PLAN:

1. Indicate the location of water meter serving the property.
2. Show the water pipe size from the meter to the building. The pipe must be sized for the calculated load, 2003 UPC 610.1.

FOUNDATION PLANS:

1. Locate and specify all anchor-bolt spacing on the foundation plan. Minimum ½" diameter with 7" embedment into concrete or masonry, R403.1.6.

STRUCTURAL PLANS:

1. Specify the gable end bracing and connections to the structure, R802.10.3.
2. Provide a minimum opening of 22" by 30" for access and ventilation between over-framed assemblies (>30 S.F.), R807.
3. Provide an engineer's calculation, design and seal for masonry partition and screen walls exceeding 6' above grade on either side. Clarify the maximum height above grade for the patio wall with retaining wall, Section A, sheet 2.

ELEVATIONS:

1. Note and specify appropriate (two-layer) underlayment material for the low-slope (2:12 to 4:12) asphalt shingle roof, R905.2.7.

SECTIONS - DETAILS - MISC. NOTES:

1. Show wood framing members resting on concrete as pressure treated, R319.1(2)

3. Calculate the attic ventilation area using the correct attic area in compliance with R806.2. Note only 80% of the required ventilating area may be provided by ridge or gable vents when applying the reduced area calculation. Show the amount of eave vents needed to comply.
4. Show a minimum 1" ventilation clearance between ceiling insulation and roof sheathing if insulation is attached to truss bottom cords and eave venting is used, R806.3. This may be accomplished w/ baffles.

2. Note and specify all piping materials.
3. Provide the length of gas line (total developed length) from meter to the most remote appliance on the system and size the supply pipe for the connected demand and future kiln branch, UPC 1217.2.
4. Provide the total fixture unit demand for the entire property per 2003 UPC Table 6-4, and determine the supply line diameter from Table 6-5 assuming 46 to 60 psi. The water service line must accommodate the existing fixtures and new sink.
5. Provide pressure and temperature relief valve at water heater. T&P line must terminate at the exterior between 6 and 24 inches above grade and must terminate facing down, UPC 608.5.
