The fee for a plan re-submittal received prior to a denial action is $75 + $100 submittal fee = $175.

The index shall be properly stamped and signed by the licensed Wisconsin professional that prepared the plans, or each of the revised sheets shall be stamped, signed and dated by the licensed Wisconsin Professional if required by SPS 361.31(1). The revised submittal shall be one bound electronic set in accordance with SPS 361.31 (2)(b).  SPS 361.31(2)(e) - Provide additional calculations or information to substantiate that the submitted plans conform to this code:  Prior to plan resubmittal, the Supervising Professional shall identify on the building plans all fire barriers, fire partitio ns, fire walls, smoke barriers, smoke partitions and horizontal assemblies and their related fire resistive fire ratings. Due to the lack of identification on this building plan, this reviewer cannot verify whether or not there is need for additional fire, smoke or other dampers, or fire rated swing door installation. Why are the doors identified on sheet A102 addressed under notes 11 & 17 required to be fire rated? What fire rated assembly are they penetrat ing since the plans do not address any fire rated wall assemblies. A Designer responsible to address prior to plan resubmittal.  The resubmitted plans have yet to fully address the original request above. Sheet A100, et al, has statements which state “1 hr fire rated”, and “2 hr fire rated” which is not helpful when determining the use of the building and code compliance. As previously stated, the fire rated assemblies shall be called out as to its type of assembly and fire resistive rating such as, but not limited to, 1 hour fire barriers, 1 hr fire partitions; 2 hour fire walls, smoke barrier, smoke partitions, etc. Additionally, what is a “smoke wall” as identified on sheet A100, et al? IBC 717.5.5 and 717.5.7 address smoke barriers and smoke partitions, respectively. The referenced “Smoke Walls” are not identified in the code. Designer has yet to acceptably address.  Sheet M502, Note 11 references SPS 362.0707(1) -- Since most contractors do not have a set of codes available to them for reference in the field, the designer shall be responsible to identify on the plans, or the specifications, how the smoke damper is to actuate.  Sheet A102, Key Note 2 states “Existing window to be screwed shut from exterior with 6 stainless steel security screws, on exterior side, caulk perimeter of sash and frame. See Detail 3/A201”. Similar wording is associated with Key Note 8, et al. This action is NOT allowed. This action is in conflict with the installation instructions of the window assembly’s manufacturer’s installation instructions. Additionally, such action reduces the listed tested efficiency of the windows for their U-factor, causing them to be non-code compliant. Additionally, the Supervising Professional is informed by this letter that all new windows that are included as part of the actions related to this plan shall be required to meet IECC Table C402.4 for both U-factor and SHGC per IEBC 708, 811 & 908.

Review SPS Table 382.38-1 Item 12 & footnote J. Designer to address requirements for a secondary roof -drain system which complements primary roof-drain system.

The openings of the secondary roof drainage shall be not less than 2 inches and not more than 4 inches above the bottom opening of the primary roof drain. Designer has yet to address the height of the secondary drain relative to the primary drain on the building plans. Additionally, er SPS Table 382.38 -1, 12.
