Unless functioning as a component of a whole house ventilation system, fan must be controlled by a humidity control. 2nd: Responses stating that there is no existing window is not valid since City records show the window. Comment not addressed. Revise door symbol #5 in door schedule to #1. Show existing landing of existing egress door on plan.

Coordinate with architectural plans if it is not flush, otherwise provide top plate splice drag at both ends, show shear transfer detail, new rafters connection, existing rafter/ceiling joist connection. Add note “verify in field the existence of ridge beam in lieu of ridge board or notify E.O.R if different” to design the header for proper tributary loads and connection detail including the lap and spike at rafter/ceiling tie.

Justify the length of shear wall line A to satisfy the limits of height to length ratio per Table 4.3.3 of SPWS 2021. 2nd: Comment not addressed.
