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 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. (Do not cloud the changes made for comment revisions). Incorporate changes on originals and provide two copied sets for review.

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; effective 1/1/2007 the Inclusive Home Design; starting 3/1/2009 Solar Water Preparation and 7/1/2009 Solar Photo-Voltaic Preparation. All new SFR and duplex plans should reference these codes. Amendments to adopted codes are at the City web-site http://www.tucsonaz.gov: Planning, Building, & Business; under the Building topic; Building Ordinances and Codes; Building Codes

SECTIONS - DETAILS:

1. Show fiber-cement board or glass mat gypsum backers for tiled walls in tub and shower areas at framed walls, R702.4.2. Notate the tub framed wall.

MECHANICAL PLANS:

1. Show City of Tucson recognized code references on the plans. Revise the IMC code version shown at Mechanical Note #1.01.

ELECTRICAL PLANS:

1. Show consistent maximum switch mounting heights. The Inclusive Home Design on sheet A-01 shows 48" and the third Wiring Device note on sheet A-04 shows 54".
2. Show fixture wattage ratings consistent with the Outdoor Lighting Code requirements. The General Note #2 and #29 shows rating limits of 150 or 155 watts. The same wattage maximum must be used for lumens conversion on the OLC calculation. The lumens limit must be based on maximum fixture rating rather than the installed lamp rating of 65 watts, OLC 3.1.2.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE

1. Provide spec sheets for all full cut-off fixtures showing the lamp type, placement and fixture wattage. All other fixtures are assumed to be unshielded (non-FCO style). Fixtures are only exempt from the total lumen budget if both of the full cut-off FCO style and located under overhangs, OLC 5.1.2.
2. Include all exterior fixtures on the property in the outdoor lighting calculations (OLC 3.1.2). Fixture ratings are determined by the rated fixture wattage, not the installed lamp wattage. Lamps are used to convert from wattage to lumens. The lamp style determines the lumen efficiency.
