Architectural and structural plans are marked "Progress Prints.” Resubmit plans that are for construction.

Miscellaneous

Data created by accepted soil science methodologies indicate expansive soils in Routt County, therefore compressible soils, shifting soils or other questionable soil characteristics are likely to be present. The building official requires a soil test to determine the soil’s characteristics at a particular location. This test shall be done by an approved agency using an approved method per R401.4 Soil tests. Foundation design pressures from the report shall be used to evaluate the foundation design (not 1500 psf with no minimum psf). Outstanding: While the WWTS plans referenced in your email and uploaded to the application is under review by the other agencies, RCRBD felt that there were items that are needed before finishing our review. Please submit soil report promised last week along with revised foundation plans as applicable.

Miscellaneous

The construction of buildings and structures shall result in a system that provides a complete load path capable of transferring all loads from their point of origin through the load-resisting elements to the foundation. In light-frame construction, the lateral force-resisting system (LFRS) comprises shear walls, diaphragms, and their interconnections to form a whole-building system. Provide details that identify a load path distribution of required lateral load resisting components (i.e., roof diaphragm, wall bracing, cripple walls, etc.), particularly the lack of continuous shear walls with positive connection to foundations.

Miscellaneous

Where supported by attachment to an exterior wall, decks shall be positively anchored to the primary structure and designed for both vertical and lateral loads as applicable. Where the lateral load connections are provided in accordance with Figure R507.9.2(2), the hold-down tension devices shall be installed in not less than four locations per deck, and each device shall have an allowable stress design capacity of not less than 750 pounds (3336 N). Provide details for deck attachments to house including complying attachment (not to be accomplished by the use of toenails or nails subject to withdrawal) as shown in code. Include joist hangers as applicable.

Please submit soil report promised last week along with revised foundation plans as applicable (Assumed 1500 psf maybe 2000 PSF per Structural Plans.is unacceptable). The load-bearing values in Table R401.4.1 do not take minimum soil pressure recommendations into consideration and shall not be assumed.
