| | |
| | 1. THE DETAIL SECTION D-D DOES NOT SPECIFY |
| | HAND/GUARDRAIL HEIGHT. AS THE HEIGHT OF FINISHED FLOOR |
| | IS OVER 30", A GUARDRAIL IS REQUIRED. PLEASE SPECIFY |
| | HEIGHT, FBC R 311.5.1, FBC R 312.1. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE HEIGHT ON THE |
| | PLAN. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHERE THIS INFORMATION CAN BE |
| | FOUND OR REVISE PLAN TO INCLUDE HEIGHT AS REQUESTED. |
| | |
| | 2. FBC R 311.5.3.3, NOSING OF APPROXIMATELY 1" IS |
| | REQUIRED. THE PLAN STATES THAT THERE IS A 1 1/2" NOSE, |
| | BUT A NOSING SHOWN ON THE DETAIL SECTION D-D. PLEASE |
| | INCORPORATE THE NOSING INTO THE DETAIL. PLEASE ALSO |
| | PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION AS TO WHY THIS IS SPECIFIED AS 1 |
| | 1/2" RATHER THAN 1". 1/2" IS 50% MORE THAN THE |
| | DIMENSION SPECIFIED IN THE CODE. |
| | |
| | AS DISCUSSED, 1 1/2" IS NOT THE SAME AS 1" (50% |
| | GREATER). ARCHITECT INCLUDED A REFERENCE ON THE PLAN |
| | FBC 11 FIGURE 18. THIS IS THE ACCESSIBILITY CODE, AND |
| | THE REQUIREMENT IS FOR 11" TREAD. THIS PLAN IS |
| | RESIDENTIAL, 9 1/2" TREAD. IF THE TREAD SIZE IS CHANGED |
| | TO 11", A 1 1/2" NOSING CAN BE CONSIDERED. WITH A 9 |
| | 1/2" TREAD, THE CODE IS CLEAR THAT A 1 1/2" NOSING IS |
| | NOT ACCEPTABLE. PLEASE ALSO SEE FBC 1009.3, EXCEPTION |
| | 5, RESIDENTIAL STAIR NOSING TO BE NOT LESS THAN .75" |
| | BUT NOT MORE THAN 1.25". PLEASE REVISE STAIR DETAIL. |
