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 2006 International Residential Code, 2006 International Energy Conservation Code, and Arizona State amendments to the 2006 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 a finished reproducible set. Return two sets along with a set of the first submission for reference. 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 (clouded revision notation is not necessary for comment changes). 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. The City of Tucson adopted the 2006 IRC with amendments on 6/12/2007, the 2006 UPC with amendments on 7/10/2007 and effective 1/1/2007 the Inclusive Home Design. All plans should reference these codes.

Show the existing wall composition for meeting the required fire rating. 4. Show the garage floor direction of slope, R309.3. 5. Show the location of a minimum 22" x 30" attic access. Attic access is required if the space exceeds 30 SQ FT with a minimum of 30" of headroom, and shall be located in a hallway or readily accessible space, R807.1. STRUCTURAL PLANS: 1. Provide manufacturer's calculations and data for pre-engineered trusses dated and wet-sealed by an engineer who is registered in Arizona, or note the requirement for deferred submittal, R106.1.

Provide detail for bracing trusses at gable ends to prevent rotation and provide lateral stability, R802.10.3. 3. Show rafter (truss) to wall connection using (H2.5) ties having a resistance to uplift of not less than 365 pounds, R802.11.1. (City of Tucson Amended). 4. Clarify the rooms with sloped ceilings. Note that scissor truss installation may require using (TC) slotted ties with appropriate uplift rating at one wall connection per engineered design, R802.10.5. 5. Show a detail for accommodating typical truss deflection over non-bearing interior walls (fasteners & gaps). SECTIONS - DETAILS: 1. Show the ceiling gypsum board as either 5/8" or ½" sag resistant when applied to 24" o/c ceiling framing, IRC table R702.3.5 footnote d. 2.
