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. ANCHOR DESIGN

Reference the calculations. Please clarify where the anchor design for the hold downs is. Anchors must be designed per an approved third party report. Reference IBC section 1703.4.

Comment resolved. Response accepted. WAB - 8/14/2014

2. R FOR GYPSUM SHEATHED WALLS

Reference the spreadsheet for the gypsum sheathed walls. R for gypsum sheathed walls is 2. It appears that 4 has been used. Please clarified. Where metal studs are used AISI-Seismic (AISI S213) must be used to design chords and anchors which require these elements to be designed to the load combinations including overstrength. Please verify. Reference IBC section 22.10.6.

Comment resolved; however please note that the second part of this comment was not responded too. Per independent check it appears to be okay. WAB - 8/14/2014

Please provide a complete statement of special inspections as required by IBC section 1705. The statement of special inspections must include both the type and frequency of inspection.
