PERMIT STATUS

12/19/2012 – Review complete. Comments issued.

Advisory Comment (no response required):  This review is based on the requirements of the Anchorage Administrative Code (AAC), 2009 International Building Code (IBC), 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) and all adopted references thereto as amended by MOA. The following comments must be addressed before a permit can be issued. The approval of plans and specifications does not permit the violation of the codes, or any federal, state or local regulations.

1. GLOBAL OVERTURNING

Reference the drawing and calculations. Please provide global overturning check on the structure for both wind and seismic and verify there is sufficient dead load to resisting the overturning forces. Anchoring of the structure must match the existing anchoring at a minimum. For wind please remember there is both uplift on the roof as well as lateral loads.

2. ROOF FRAMING PLAN

Reference the drawings. If this structure is just being moved please clarify why additional requirements have been added to the roof framing plan. There should be no modifications being made to the structure. Where modifications are made they must be current code requirements.

3. EXISTING STRUCTURE

Please clarify the elevation difference between the existing structure to remain, and the structure being moved adjacent to it. If the elevation difference is more than 2’ snow drift will need to be considered on the lower structure.

4. FENCE ANCHORING

Reference the calculations. There is design provided for fence anchoring, but no detail or plan has been provided for a fence. Please clarify. It is also not clear what the calculation is even showing. Is this a triangular shaped fence that 14’ tall and 5.67’ wide? Is that a plan view of the fence? Please clarify. It is highly recommended that the wind velocity used to design the fence takes into consideration that there appears to be a taxiway adjacent to this lot. Fences generally can not just set on top of grade because the foundation likely would not be able to support the overturning loads. Please clarify.

5. ALTERNATE MEANS AND METHODS

Please note that the alternate meands and methods has not been approved, and will not be considered until a cody study for the structure is provided in accordance with the architectural review.

Please provide a written response to the comments and include one copy of additional or revise calculations, and two copies of additional or revise drawings. While not required it is extremely helpful to the reviewer if the response indicates where in the submittal each comments has been addressed.

All submittals should be sent to the permit manager.
