1) 3: The stove/range encroaches into the door clearance area of 1’- 6” beyond the strike edge and 44” deep maneuvering clearance area for unit types B, B2 and B3. Please revise the plans. CBC 1132A.5

RESPONSE 3: CBC 1132A.5 does not specifically prohibit clear spaces from overlapping, nor does CBC 1126A.3.1. Per the CBC and the FHA Design Manual clear spaces are allowed to overlap in bathrooms and kitchens.

The correction to comply with CBC 1132A.5 remains. The CBC and FHA Design Manual do state areas where clear spaces may overlap. The stove is not a clear space. The stove encroaching into a clear space for maneuvering at the doors is not permitted.

2) 6: Please include the original structural calculations, in addition to the addendum. Complete SUP and PLN files are required for permit issuance.

RESPONSE 6: The original structural calculations in addition to the addendum structural calculations are included within this submittal.

The original structural calculations were not included in the supplement file. Please resubmit.

3) 7: Please key from foundation plans to identify holdown requirements, based on the tension and compression loads and framing conditions.

RESPONSE 7: The required tie-down types were previously provided on sheets S8.7 to S8.16. The tension and compression forces were previously provided on the foundation plans on sheets 1S201, 2S201, 3S201A, 3S201B, 4S201A, and 4S201B.

Forces are provided in the structural sheets as stated in the response. However, a key from these sheets to identify the model numbers and configurations shown in S8.1 through S8.16 are needed for construction and inspection purposes.

Note: A July 1, 2021 supplement for accessibility includes curb ramp specifications related to detectable warnings and added lengths beyond the detectable warnings. This project was submitted for a building permit application prior to the effective date of this supplement, so it is not required that plans be revised to comply with the current supplement. However, this is something to consider. See current CBC 705.1.2.2.2
