| 01/07/2016 | KEN VAN KARSEN | BUILDING-RESIDENTIAL | REVIEW | Reqs Change | T15CM08623 PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS 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, please provide two sets of updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment revisions. SCOPE OF REVIEW: The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2012 International Residential Code and 2012 International Energy Conservation 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 COMMENTS: 1. All SFR and Duplex plans submitted after July 1, 2009 require a solar photo-voltaic system, or future installation preparation City of Tucson Ordinance #10549 with the following provisions: 1. A 4 square feet area for (meter, disconnect & inverter) equipment adjacent to the electrical service panel or near the proposed collector panel space. 2. The best roof space available for accommodating PV solar collector panels with capacity for collector dead loading (typically 4 lbs/SF). 3. A minimum 3,800 volt-ampere PV electrical load entry on the Service Load Calculation (Show as a continuous load of 15.8 A). 4. An Electrical Panel Schedule with a 240 volt circuit breaker space labeled "reserved for Photo Voltaic". See electrical comments. 2. All construction drawings submitted after June 1, 2010 for one- or two-family dwellings must provide gray water utilization or preparation, Ordinance #10579/11089 revised July 9, 2013. One story dwellings must have a gray drain line discharge. Additional gray fixture drains are optional. Show a second clothes washer standpipe plumbed to an exterior wall above grade, or a bathing fixture drain looped 3' beyond an exterior wall below grade before connection to the building drain. See details at http://pdsd.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes-ordinances/Grey_Water_Options_FINAL_.pdf SITE PLAN: 1. Indicate the location of utility meters and gas, water, electric and sewer (or septic lines) from property line to building, R106.1.1. SECTIONS - DETAILS: 1. An unvented roof assembly requires an air-impermeable rigid insulation material with a minimum R-5 value applied correctly to either side of the roof sheathing (closed cell spray tight to the roof sheathing or rigid board sealed to roof framing), R806.5. This condensation control provision is necessary for code compliance and may be layered with batt insulation for achieving the total required roof R-value. PLUMBING PLANS: 1. Show gas pipe sizes in compliance with connected demand, G2413.3 & Table G2413.4(1). Provide a gas line isometric or table for showing the BTU demand and length of line to each gas appliance. Also, consider a gas meter located near the building for minimizing the developed pipe length. The 1-1/4" pipe is undersized for supplying more than 203,000 BTU with a developed length over 350'. MECHANICAL PLANS: 1. Provide (an HVAC system with) whole-house mechanical ventilation with continuous or a minimum controlled intermittent airflow rate, R303.4 & M1507.3. Show a source of outside supply air. 2. Clarify the cooling capacity in accordance with the calculations, M1401.3, M1601.1. The equipment schedule on the plans is not sized in accordance with Manual J calculations. ELECTRICAL PLANS: 1. Add a double breaker space for future Photo Voltaic on the panel schedule. 2. Revise the electrical load calculation showing a minimum 3,800 volt-ampere or 16 A continuous load entry for future Photo Voltaic equipment. 3. Protect all interior 15A & 20A proposed outlets (except garage, kitchen, and bathrooms) including receptacles, lights and smoke detectors with combination type arc-fault circuit interrupters, E3902.12. 4. Provide notation requiring tamper resistant receptacles for 125 volt, 15A and 20A receptacles, R4002.14. 5. Specify high-efficacy lamps for at least 75% of all lighting fixtures, N1104.1.

| 12/15/2015 | KEN BROUILLETTE | FIRE | REVIEW | Reqs Change | Per the 2012 International Fire Code (appendix B), the nearest fire hydrant must provide a flow of 1,750 GPM @ 20 psi. Please have a licensed fire sprinkler contractor perform a flow test and verify these requirements, or provide fire sprinklers in the structure. Additionally, the hydrant must be within 600', as the hose lays, to all parts of the structure. Add the requested information (fire flow and distance) to the first page of the plans. |
