Re: 15217 E. 22nd Ct.
Date: April 20, 2009
Dear McLaughlin Construction,
In conducting a preliminary review of your submitted plans, it shows commercial grade
appliances are to be used for the proposed basement remodel. The use of commercially listed
appliances within a single family dwelling unit is prohibited as per IMC, section 917.2. I have
attached the sections from the IMC and IMC Commentary for your review. In applying the code
requirements for your application,the appliances would have to be listed and labeled as
household-type appliances for domestic use. If the structure was separated and not affiliated with
a residence,the proposed appliances could be acceptable for a commercial application.
The plans will remain pending until a decision is made to submit a revised set of plans or the
project is canceled. If there are any questions or information that I could help you with,please do
not hesitate to call me at(509) 688-0051. I look foreword to assisting you through this process.
