As pushkin said, you need an engineer. It sounds like you have submitted plans for your permit. Out here ( CA ) what they want is a state licensed professional engineer ( PE ) to certify the load calculations on the foundation. He would also need to certify the shear loads on the walls. I realize you dont have earthquake specs to deal with , but wind loading also effects shear walls. Shear is a huge deal on plans here, but I would think that you will also need to have that one signed off.
