| 11/19/2009 | STANTEC | 2ND PARTY REVIEW | REVIEW | Denied | November 19, 2009 Cc: Ernie Duarte, Acting Building Official City of Tucson Development Services Department 201 N. Stone Avenue, First Floor Tucson, Arizona 85701 Re: Lancaster Residence – Addition and Remodel City of Tucson No. T09CM02603 Stantec Project No. 816-30015 (09-132) 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 2006 International Residential Code [IRC], the Outdoor Lighting Code and the Inclusive Home Ordinance. 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: -Ceilings with a truss or joist spacing over 16" o.c. need to be provided with a minimum of either 5/8" gypsum board or 1/2" sag-resistant gypsum board [2006 IRC Sec. Table R702.3.5, Footnote d]. There is a portion of the garage which has a spacing of over 16” o.c. STRUCTURAL: Sheet 1 shows a lot of walls being removed or large openings being created on the interior. Are any of these walls bearing walls? The framing plan on Sheet 2 doesn’t give any suggestion as to the existing framing direction. Will any headers over these openings be required? What will be supporting the new attic furnace unit? How much does this unit weigh? Was the ceiling framing ever meant to support this weight? Please clarify on the plans that the either the existing structure is capable of supporting this new units weight or show new structure to support the weight. PLUMBING: Please provide cut sheets for the tankless water heater. Please provide more information regarding the installation of the water heater in the basement. The plumbing drawings indicate that this is a gas water heater. How is the flue to be routed? Can the pressure and temperature relieve valve piping be directed to an existing drain in the basement? If not you will either need to provide a drain in the basement (and probably a sump pump or lift station) or you need to file an appeal for the City allowed alternative. This type of appeal cost nothing and is easily obtained; however keep in mind that if the P&T valve ever activates the basement will be flooded causing expensive damage. MECHANICAL: There are no mechanical comments to be addressed. ELECTRICAL: All receptacle outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, unfinished basements, garages or carports, at grade level and within 6 feet of a wet bar sink, shall have ground fault circuit interrupting protection. Note on the drawings at each outlet requiring such protection [2006 IRC Sec. E3802]. The receptacle on the “desk” counter which is in the kitchen needs to have ground fault circuit interrupting protection. Note that two or more 20-amp small appliance circuits shall be provided to serve all receptacle outlets in the kitchen, breakfast room and dining room. Such circuits shall have no other outlets [2006 IRC Sec. E3603.2 and E3801.3]. The receptacle on the “desk” counter which is in the kitchen needs to be on an appliance circuit (not on the lighting circuit). The branch circuits serving all outlets in bedrooms (i.e. receptacles, lights, smoke detectors) need to be protected by arc-fault circuit interrupters listed to provide protection to the entire branch circuit [2006 IRC Sec. E3802.12]. Specifically the smoke detector circuit (Circuit 17B) needs to be on an AFCI breaker. ENERGY: Provide energy calculations or note compliance with the default minimums [2006 IRC Table N1102.1]. Also call out on the plans the “R” values of insulation, as well as the “U” values of the windows in conformance with the energy calculations provided or default minimums stipulated. -End of Review- If you have any questions, please call (520) 750-7474.
