| | COST EXCEEDS 20 PERCENT OF THE COST OF THE ALTERATION |
| | TO THE PRIMARY FUNCTION AREA. |
| | |
| | DUTY TO PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE FEATURES IN THE EVENT OF |
| | DISPROPORTIONALITY. |
| | |
| | (1) WHEN THE COST OF ALTERATIONS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE |
| | PATH OF TRAVEL TO THE ALTERED AREA FULLY ACCESSIBLE IS |
| | DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE COST OF THE OVERALL ALTERATION, |
| | THE PATH OF TRAVEL SHALL BE MADE ACCESSIBLE TO THE |
| | EXTENT THAT IT CAN BE MADE ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT INCURRING |
| | DISPROPORTIONATE COSTS. |
| | |
| | (2)(A) IN CHOOSING WHICH ACCESSIBLE ELEMENTS TO |
| | PROVIDE, PRIORITY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE ELEMENTS |
| | THAT WILL PROVIDE THE GREATEST ACCESS, IN THE FOLLOWING |
| | ORDER: |
| | |
| | (I) AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE; |
| | |
| | (II) AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO THE ALTERED AREA: |
| | |
| | (III) AT LEAST ONE ACCESSIBLE RESTROOM FOR EACH SEX OR |
| | A SINGLE UNISEX RESTROOM: |

| | |
| | (V) ACCESSIBLE DRINKING FOUNTAINS; AND |

| | (VI) WHEN POSSIBLE, ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBLE ELEMENTS SUCH |
| | AS PARKING, STORAGE, AND ALARMS. |
| | |
| | 1A) IN THE MEETING WITH THE DESIGN TEAM AND THE |
| | BUILDING DEPARTMENT AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE WAS |
| | DISCUSSED. SHEET A0.10 SITE PLAN DOES SHOW A NEWLY |
| | DESIGNED EGRESS RAMP FROM THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING ACCESS |
| | AISLE. THE BOTTOM LANDING OF THE RAMP IS INDICATED AS A |
| | 5'-0" AS REQUIRED FOR 90 DEGREE TURNS BUT IS NOT IN |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH 11-4.8.4 (2) THAT REQUIRES THE BOTTOM |
| | LANDING TO BE 72 INCHES OF STRAIGHT AND LEVEL |
| | CLEARENCE. |
| | |
| | 1B) THE OTHER ISSUE IN AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO THE |
| | ALTERED AREAS PLEASE REVIEW SHEET A.100 DOOR # 22 TO |
| | TTHE LEFT OF ROOM 01-01 (RECEPTION) IS MISSING THE |
| | REQUIRED 18 INCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DOOR LATCH, |
| | PLEASE REVIEW 11-4.13.6 MANEUVERING CLEARENCES AT |
| | DOORS. |
| | |
| | 2A) SHEET A.100 & A.301 THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN INDICATE |
| | TWO STAIRWAYS FROM THE SECOND STORY A REAR STAIRWAY |
| | THAT IS ENCLOSED AND A MONUMENTAL STAIR IN THE FRONT OF |
| | THE BUILDING NOT ENCLOSED. THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN |
| | 1982 UNDER THE 1978 STANDARD BUILDING CODE IN REVIEWING |
| | THE CODE REQUIREMENTS THEN AND NOW THERE SHOULD HAVE |
| | BEEN TWO ENCLOSED EXIT STAIRS LEADING TO THE EXTERIOR |
| | OF THE BUILDING. THE 1978 CODE (1103.2(2) DID ALLOW FOR |
| | A SINGLE ENCLOSED STAIR FOR 2 STORY BUSINESS |
| | OCCUPABNCIES FOR 3500 SQ FT AND OCCUPANT LOAD NOT MORE |
| | THAN 40 OCCUPANTS. THIS BUILDING DID NOT MEET THIS |
| | EXCEPTION IN AREA NOR OCCUPANT LOAD. THE MONUMENTAL |
| | STAIR UNDER THE 1978 SBC SECTION 1107.1 ALSO REQUIRED |
| | THAT SUCH STAIR WAS NOT PART OF A REQUIRED PART OF THE |
| | BUILDING EXIT FACILITIES AND SUCH STAIRS ARE NOT |
| | CONNECTED WITH CORRIDORS PROVIDING ACCESS TO EXITS. |
| | |
| | 2B) THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE ELEVATOR LANDS IN THE |
| | LOBBY OR RECEPTION AREA WHICH IS STILL WITHIN THE |
| | PROPOSED EXIT. THE 1987 CODE 1106(F) EXIT ENCLOSURES |
| | ARE TO HAVE ONLY THE NECCESSAARY OPENINGS SUCH AS |
| | DOORWAYS TO PROTECT THE STAIRWAY FROM THE REMANDER OF |
| | THE BUILDING. TODAYS CODE LANGUAGE IS QUITE CLEAR: |

| | EXIT ENCLOSURE. |
| | |
| | 1020.1.2 PENETRATIONS. PENETRATIONS INTO AND OPENINGS |

| | THE EXIT ENCLOSURE AND TERMINATING AT A STEEL BOX NOT |
| | EXCEEDING 16 SQUARE INCHES (0.010 M2). SUCH |
| | PENETRATIONS SHALL BE PROTECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTION 712. THERE SHALL BE NO PENETRATIONS OR |
| | COMMUNICATION OPENINGS, WHETHER PROTECTED OR NOT, |
| | BETWEEN ADJACENT EXIT ENCLOSURES. |
| | |
| | NOTE: IT IS NOTED BY E-MAILS THEIR IS A WINDOW BETWEEN |
| | THE LOBBY AREA AND RECEPTIONIST DESK WITH A FIRE |
| | SHUTTER. PLEASE NOTE ON PLANS, IS THE FIRE SHUTTER |
