As I <br />understand it our current revised set will be reissued with today’s date (12-28-22), <br />it will be signed/certified. <br /> <br />The following is my response to the structural related questions from the <br />letter/email from the building official, Nicole Egan, dated 12/16/22: <br /> <br />· Requirement - Page 17 Engineer's letter is dated 9-14-22 and clearly states that the <br />design has not been completed. The date on structural plans is 3-15-22 with no signature <br />or stamp. Structural pages must be updated and all pages signed and stamped. <br />The plans have been revised and will be signed and resubmitted as noted above. <br /> <br />· Requirement - Tall wall framing at stairs requires engineered detail. <br />The walls at the stair have been designed for the wind load, there are horizontally <br />spanning beams that reduce the stud length to single story spans, so the studs <br />are just ordinary stud framing. <br /> <br />· Requirement - Concrete plank connection to house requires engineered detail. <br />The concrete plank area has been omitted. <br /> <br />· Requirement - Sill plate overhang requires engineered detail. <br />The condition of the overhanging sill plate has been included in the structural <br />design and the posts have been designed with the reduced bearing area as <br />needed.
