Mr. Skourtes,
•
It has come to my attention that the street side
windows have been modified on your building
at 7095 SW Gonzaga. A site visit revealed that
one of the windows has been removed and
another was relocated near the east end of the
building.
Based on the plans provided, 270 square feet is
required to meet the 50% window coverage.
The approved plans show 285 sq ft. One
window at 30 sq ft was removed — reducing the
coverage to 255 sq ft. Please ask your architect
to provide calculations to show how the 270 sq
ft minimum will be met.
Thank you.
Cheryl Caines

k ax(SCC4) 214593
esseeetleeeenees Response to Inspector
This permit is currently under construction and the following remarks are in
response to issues recently raised by the building inspector at the site.
1. The Oregon Faon- Residential Energy Code requires R -13 insulation for
exterior framed walls. The exterior walls were frame with 2xe studs for
structural reasons, and the drawings indicate R -19 bait insulation
between the studs, per the Code footnote for framed walls that ems
Insulation should be to the fu11 depth of the cavity. The building owner
. informs us that he used an R -13 batt that has expanded to the full cavity
2. The drawings indicate to brace and support the suspended ceiling system
per requirements of a City of Portiand Code Guide. The requirements
should have been per the 401 - Oregon document issued by the Oregon
State Building Codes Division. Document 401 - Oregon supersedes the
details shown on the drawings.
3. The emergency -only exit door at the south elevation is shown to be
recessed from the face of the building. Tigard Planning Department has
concluded that this door need not be recessed, and the owner will install
the door flush with the building face.
4. A window on the first floor of the south elevation has been moved near
the east end of the building, per the attached drawing..
Sincerely .
