Plan Set Requirements

If not using Prescriptive Path design method on layout (Prescriptive Path Checklist attached), then SE stamps will be required for Roof Mounts.

Engineer scale cannot be done with fractions (ex. 1/8" = 1'). Per AHJ, engineer's scale goes to the 10th rather than a fraction

Accepted engineer’s scales end in zero

(1”=60’ or 1”=50’, for example)

All SolarApp+ project will need whole home load calculations. (PV, PV+ESS, Backup, Non-backup)

Site: Use this website to determine property dimensions : (https://www.lanecounty.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=3585881&pageId=4196390)

Attachment Detail: Attachments shall be spaced not greater than 24 inches (609.6 mm) on center in any direction where: * Ground snow loads (https://up.codes/viewer/oregon/ibc-2018/chapter/2/definitions#loads_455.715_definitions_for_ors_455.715_to_455.740) exceed 36 psf (1.197 kN/m2). * Located within 3 feet (914 mm) of a roof edge, hip, eave or ridge. * Located in wind Exposure Category B or greater and the _wind speed_ exceeds 120 mph. * Located in wind Exposure Category C or greater and the _wind speed_ exceeds 110 mph.

Ground mount

Ground Mount Fencing Required: Mesh/Scrim

Ground Mount Notes: Property line must match what the AHJ has on file. Either search the County's GIS tool, or reach out to the AHJ for a map. Zoning Dept: To avoid multiple months of delays in permitting and zoning approval, keep the GM within 142ft of the residence. Scale of plans should be in standard engineer scale (ie. 1” = 10’,20’,30’,40’,50’,60’ 1” = 100’,200’,300’,400’)

Setback Front Yard: 30

Setback Back Yard: 30
