Here is the list of corrections or questions to address before issuance of the Nickolay residential project.
CORRECTION /o UESTION LIST:
1. Email Kumar & Associates geotechnical report2l,-7-232 as noted by Mike on sheet S3.2. Send to
cwirth rfield-co
2. l'm concerned there may be an errata or room label discrepancy on some of architectural sheets and
ask for further clarification on some upper floor and attic area details.
3.a Sheet A4.3 Building Section 2 shows an "office", is that correct? (Wondering if that's an errata as an
office room has not reflected in the received structural framing pages nor on the electrical plan
details).
3.b.Sheet A2.2 Upper Level plan depicts a hot tub deck and bunk room, is that still correct? Please
confirm if any room labels have changed.
3.c. Are any spaces on the second story proposed as "unfinished" future living space?
3. We are requesting further information on the proposed unconditioned "attic spaces".
4.a. where are attic access opening(s) proposed to be installed?

4.c. will 220v. evaporative coolers shown on roof plan be "roof mounted" or contained within the
"non-vented attic space"
4.d. are any of the attic areas anticipated as "unfinished" future living space?
4.e. will attic access opening(s) be sealed and gasketed pursuant to 2018 IECC to separate from rest of
heated, conditioned living space(s)?
4. ln evaluating the plans for compliance with the adopted 2018 IECC (lnternational Energy Conservation
Code), there appears to be some missing bits.
4.a. Please have Architect of Record prepare and email a written statement expressing which chosen
Energy Compliance Path has been selected forthe Nickolay residence on Lot 29 in Coryell Ranch.
