Re: Brentwood Estates Phase ill Revisions to Building Plans
Dear Dave:
Revisions have been to the building plans of the following
buildings: 135,136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142,143, 308, 310, 3 11,312,
313, 314, 3 I 6, 405, 407, 409, and 4 I I. What specifically has been
modified are the following items: Exterior wall and unit separation wall
construction-these changes are reflected in the wall schedules (Sheet S4.2
of all plan sets) and related details.
These revisions were done in accord with Appep~i~ N or the 2005
Oregon Residential Specialty Code, which allows for the fQ!!owingo. 00.
revisions from the previous plan sets: ene.... .
I. Typical exterior wall construction is no lon~er requirecho Qave a
.. ...

2. I-Hour rated exterior walls are required shll-.Id S:wall ido:o 0

building. As our eaves are designed have a 24" over PP!l~~e-op!adiQ
expand those limits to 6' from a property line and 12' ~mollh lldja~ 0 .
building.. As part of our revision, any walls of any of the buildiIig. )islef
above that are within 6' of a property line and/or within 12' of another
building are to be constructed so as to have a I-hour fire rating. These
exterior walls are indicted in the plan sets of their respective buildings:
3.. The area separation walls In each of the units is allowed to have
I -hour fire rating and that quality of fire rating is to extend from the top of
the floor of the lower (first) floor to the underside of the roof sheathing. In
all plan sets, in the wall schedule is an area separation wall that meets that
requirement. Furthermore, the draft stops that separated the attic space of
each of the units have been upgraded to a I-hour fire rating.
If you have any questions regarding these changes, please feel free
to give me a call at 726-9995.
Regards,
~
