Plan review
comments:

1.  This review is a
code compliance review based on the requirements of the 2012 International
Building Code (IBC) and all adopted references thereto as amended by the
Municipality of Anchorage in the Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC) Title 23.  This review does not permit the violation of
the building codes, nor any federal, state, or municipal regulation.

2.  The description of work is not
clear for the structural aspect of this project.  What structurally is new? I see a 4” framed
column being identified, but that is it. 
Is this 4” column the only thing that is supporting the new vinyl
curtains; header, fastening, right side attachment; all should be checked for
out of plan internal wind pressures? Please provide information on the
support/construction of the new curtain. 

12-13-16   Calculations accepted.  Please provide detail for the lateral support
of the columns on either side of the header; there is an out of plane lateral
load that needs to be resisted.

3.  A wall section was provided on
sheet A101.  Is this a new wall? Where is
it going?  Are walls being replaced? Or
only finishes?  Please clarify on the
plan where this wall section is being constructed.  This wall section is required to have a
registered licensed Architect or Engineer stamp.

12-13-16   Not addressed. 
What will this wall section be used for?

Address all comments above to complete the permit process.  Please provide corresponding letter that

information that is provided to address the above comments could result in
additional comments based on the new information provided for review.   All
submittals should be sent or given to the permit manager for this project.
