A fence or a suitable buffer must be provided between parking areas and other residential properties. Please provide fence or buffer at the East side of the project along parking lot. 2. Turn the trash dumpsters so that our side loading truckscanaccess them without having to back up. 3.

I have attached a copy of the Fire Department review to the back of this document. Please contact Chris Huskinson at (208) 359-3010 in you have any questions concerning the Fire Department review. 4. The 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) section 1103.1.9.3 requires all grade level dwelling units to be Type "B" Dwelling Units. Please indicate this on plans. 5. The entry balcony of the 3 -bedroom "A" unit must be constructed as per the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) section 1006.3.2.3. This section requires the walls around the entrance balcony and the ceiling to be one hour rated. The code requires this when the occupancy of the exit is more than 10 persons. 3-bedroomunits are frequently occupied by 6 persons. 6. Detail 6 on page A-10 does not show fire separation in the crawl space. The fire separation between the units must be maintained throughout. The pony walls in the crawl space and up to floor decking must be fire rocked. 7. Provide truss manufacturer specifications and detail sheets. I will need these prior to framing inspection. 8. Please provide information identifying minimum foundation reinforcement as per UBC section 1914.3.3. Please provide me with two copies of any changes that are made to the plans.
