Re: Application for a Building Permit
Dear Mr. Hatin,
This is a summary of the details to accompany a building permit application for alterations to the
basement of my dwelling. The purpose of the construction is to divide the basement into
separate rooms. The current drawing is attached as figure 1. Note that the basement is currently
one large room,with approximate measurements of 25x 46'.
In order to make the basement more usable,the space will be divided into 5 rooms. Reference
fikure2. As noted on the figure,the"addition" is of partitions to separate the space into these
rooms:.- These partitions are noted by the shaded walls. The main purpose of the alterations is to.
provide an additional "family room",as noted by the large room with the approximate dimensions
of.34'x 12'. This room will have finished sheetrock walls and a drop ceiling.
L
In order to provide a means of egress,I will install a double hung window in the Southeast comer
of the basement. The new window will replace an existing basement window. The window
will have the following dimensions and will be located from the ceiling down: 32"w x 54%.
The currently installed window meets the "sill plate" 82 1/2 inches from the floor. The bottom
section'of the new window will be 32"w x 26%,or greater than the required 2 square feet of
opening. The bottom of the window will be less than 48" from the floor.
The window well will be made out of pressure treated timbers,and will be 36"w x 60"d. The
timbers will be atleast 6"-below the bottom of the window,and the top of the crushed stone in
the bottom of the window well will beat least 4"below the bottom of the window. For drainage,
I will install flashing under the crushed stone angled away from the foundation of the house. The
window well may be stepped near the top,but the closest dimension perpendicular to the window
will be 36".
Please indicate any other details that you need regarding this modification. During the week of
April 24 th.please forward any questions to me through my wife,Ginelle, at(761-6583).
