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 REQUIREMENTS: 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. GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. All SFR and Duplex plans submitted after March 1, 2009 require a solar water system, or future installation preparation City of Tucson Ordinance #10549 with one of the following provisions: ½"control conduit and two ¾" copper piping for water with rooftop termination; straight 3" capped sleeve; or an accessible attic (clear path 30" wide x 30" high) over the water heater. Show appropriate notation. 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. Include two clothes washer standpipes at an exterior wall, one with an above grade stub-out, and one plumbed to the building drain. See details at http://pdsd.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes-ordinances/Grey_Water_Options_FINAL_.pdf The gray clothes washer standpipe may discharge to a bathing fixture gray vertical drain for future usage, or to an individual exterior wall discharge point for immediate usage. Piping for additional graywater fixtures is optional. STRUCTURAL PLANS: 1. Provide a complete braced wall design, R602.10. Show braced wall lines with maximum spacing of 60', or provide an engineer's calculation, design and seal. Show interior braced wall panels with foundation anchor bolt connection to bottom plates, R602.10.8.3 and R403.1.6, and roof connections, R602.10.8.2 compliant. 2. Show braced wall panel compliance for framed walls with a garage door opening, Table R602.10.5. For prescriptive braced wall structures show a portal frame with hold-downs PFH method, Figure R602.10.6.2, or a portal frame at garage door PFG method, Figure R602.10.6.3, or a continuously sheathed portal frame CS-PF method, Figure R602.10.6.4. SECTIONS - DETAILS: 1. Clarify the placement of ceiling/roof insulation for determining the need for attic ventilation, R806. Sections on A.5 and detail B/S.1 show unvented space and the calculation on A.7 and A.8 is needed for a vented attic with insulation placed at the ceiling. 2. Provide a gas schedule or line isometric showing the BTU demand and length of line to each gas appliance. Show each pipe segment sized in conformance with Table G2413.4(1). 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 or continuous exhaust fan function. 2. Show supply ducts with minimum R-8 insulation (includes vented attics) except when completely located inside the thermal envelope, N1103.2.1. Update note #7. 3. Provide demand calculations in accordance with Manual J/S/D standards, M1401.3, M1601.1. Systems shall be sized in accordance with Manual S based on building loads calculated in accordance with Manual J and duct systems sized in accordance with Manual D. Notate if the mechanical system calculations may be provided by deferred submittal. The deferred calculations must be approved through revision process prior to mechanical inspections. ELECTRICAL PLANS: 1. Show a double breaker space for future Photo Voltaic on the panel schedule. A breaker is not required for reserving the space 2. Revise the electrical load calculation showing a minimum 3,800 volt-ampere or 16 A continuous load entry for future Photo Voltaic equipment. This added load (check total entry) accounts for increased thermal energy from the continuous operation rather than reducing the building demand. 3. Show all receptacle outlets located within 6' of a wet bar or sink with ground fault circuit interrupting protection, E3902. Include the laundry countertop. 4. Show all garage receptacle outlets with GFCI protection, E3902.2. Include the ceiling receptacle on circuit #27 or show circuit #3. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE: 1. Show the solar heat gain coefficient SHGC minimum value of 0.25, N1102.1. If you have any questions please contact: Ken Van Karsen (520) 837-4912 City of Tucson Residential Plan Review |
| 11/14/2017 | MARTIN BROWN | FIRE | REVIEW | Reqs Change | This residence will have a "fire-flow calculation area"(2012 IFC Appendix B, Section B102 and 105.1) greater than 4,800 sq. ft.: therefore this house will require a residential sprinkler system unless the fire flow in the nearest hydrant is a minimum of 1,750 GPM for 2 hours duration at 20 psi residual pressure. Additionally, the hydrant must be within 600' of all parts of the residence. Have a licensed fire sprinkler contractor perform a flow test. Provide notes on plan regarding verification of fire flow and proximity of hydrant or intent to install a fire sprinkler system. If a system will be installed, residential or quick response sprinklers shall be used. The sprinkler system may be connected to the domestic water supply, provided the required design density can be met. Residential fire sprinkler system shall be installed in accordance with the 2012 IFC and NFPA 13D. |
