As of 08/02/21 AHJ is requiring that we stamp all plans from this point going forward. (all electrical/all solar array layouts) 1 stamp on the structural letter is sufficient and the manufacturer’s specs do not need to be stamped. Failure to comply will result in rejected plans
11/16/21 - Per the plan reviewer, do not put the wind speed and snow load as a range wind can be 115 or greater and the snow load can be 20psi or greater (but the "or greater" amount should be specified)
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE PLANS ARE NOT LOCKED if they are digitally signed, this will significantly delay the plan review if they are not able to edit the plans
