=rn-2010-00156_0006.jpgTed: Your plans were reviewed using the International Residential Code, 2006 edition. Please
respond to the following comments:
1. The wall bracing in some areas of the home do not meet the prescriptive wall bracing
requirements of the code. Provide Engineered stamped calculations. Reference Section 602.10. 1
assume you are referring to the Dining room and Master Bedroom exterior walls? 1. Walls will be
designed by Structural Components 2. For instance, IF I had a continuous header from wall to wall
would that be acceptable? 3. OR do I need to have a "stamped" engineered drawing?
2. Provide Energy Calculations (Res- Check). Did you receive the 24 page "Building Report" showing
all of the energy calculations? If not, I have attached the report to this email.
3. The alternate brace panel detail needs to show 4200 LB. tie down devices embedded in concrete
as per Figure R602.10.2. No problem, the revised plan will show this detail on the Garage sectional.
4. Are the basement walls being constructed as part of this permit? Yes, because a majority of the
walls are load bearing. There will not be any 'finish' in the lower lexel.

5. Show sill height of master bedroom and breakfast room windows above the floor. No problem, the
revised plan will show these notes.
6. Show frost depth of footings a minimum of 42 ". No problem, the revised plan will show this detail
on the wall sectionals.
7. One more smoke alarm needs to be added outside the basement bedrooms. No problem, the
revised plans will reflect this addition.
