| | |
| | 1) SHEET SP-1 & A-1 INDICATES THIS BUILDING AS A |
| | BUILDING TYPE IV PROTECTED, THIS NOMENCLATURE INDICATES |
| | THIS IS A CONSTRUCTED FROM HEAVY TIMBER. I BELIEVE THE |
| | DESIGNER IS USING |
| | BUILDING TYPES FROM THE 2001 FBC-B. THE 2001 FBC-B IV |
| | PROTECTED IS DEFINED UNDER THE 2007 FBC-B AS A TYPE IIA |
| | 1 HOUR PROTECTED. THE PLANS ALSO INDICATE THIS |
| | STRUCTURE TO BE |
| | FULLY SPRINKLERED. PLEASE CORRECT TO THE 2007 FBC-B. |

| | POSITION SHALL NOT REDUCE THE REQUIRED CORRIDOR WIDTH |
| | BY MORE THAN ONE-HALF. NOTE NEITHER DOORS NOR |
| | CLASSROOMS ARE NUMBERED FOR IDENTIFYING PURPOSES, THESE |
| | CODE VIOLATIONS OCCUR BOTH IN THE DESIGN FIRST FLOOR |
| | AND SECOND FLOOR. MANY DOORS ARE CONFIGURERED IN THE |
| | CORNER OF CLASSROOMS BACK TO BACK SO THEY WOULD NOT BE |
| | ABLE TO SWING 180 DEGREES 6'-0" CORRIDORS WITH NO |
| | ALCOVES PROVIDED. |
