| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET A-1 & LS-1 INDICATE THE OCCUPANCY AS A |
| | BUSINESS OCCUPANCY, THIS IS CORRECT FOR EDUCATIONAL |
| | USAGE ABOVE THE 12TH GRADE. WHERE WE DISAGREE IS HOW WE |
| | DETEWRMINE THE OCCUPANT LOAD. THE CODE COMMENTARY IN |
| | REGARDS TO FBC-B TABLE 1004.1.1 INDICATES THAT ALTHOUGH |
| | THIS IS CLASSIFIED AS A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY WE STILL GO |
| | TO TABLE 1004.1 FOR THE INTENDED USAGE. I BELIEVE THE |
| | OPEN LAB SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR |
| | SHOPS AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING ROOMS OR (50 NET), THIS |
| | ROOM IS APPROX 600 SQ FT OR AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF |
| | 13OCCUPANTS THE OTHER AREA OF DISCREPANCY IS THE |
| | RESOURCE ROOM WHICH IS SIMILAR USAGE TO THAT OF A |
| | LIBRARY READING ROOM (50 NET) THE ROOM SIZE BEING |
| | APPROX. 507 SQ FT OR AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF 11. |
| | |
| | THE BREAK ROOM AND STUDENT LOUNGE AREAS SHOULD BE TAKEN |
| | AT 15 SQ FT PER OCCUPANT (NET) AND THE OFFICES AS 100 |
| | SQ FT PER OCCUPANT.(GROSS) PER TABLE 1004.1.1. THE NET |
| | CALCULATION ALLOWS THE DESIGNER TO FIGURE THE OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD TO THE ACTUAL OCCUPIED FLOOR AREAS. THE AREAS USED |
| | FOR PERMANENT BUILDING COMPONENTS, SUCH AS WALLS, FIXED |
| | EQUIPMENT, THICKNESSES OF WALLS, CORRIDORS, RESTROOMS, |
| | MECHANICAL ROOMS, AND CLOSETS, IS NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN |
| | NET FLOOR AREA, SEE 2010 CODE COMMENTARY UNDER TABLE |
| | 1004.1.1. |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TOTAL OCCUPANT LOAD MAY STILL BE |
| | ABOVE 49 OCCUPANTS WHEN THE NET AREAS REDUCED AREAS ARE |
| | REMOVED FROM THE EQUATION. IF SO THEN TWO REMOTE EGRESS |
| | OPENINGS WILL BE REQUIRED PER 2010 FBC-B TABLE 1015.1 |
| | AND 1015.2.1 DOORWAYS TO BE 1/3 THE DIAGONAL DISTANCE |
| | APART. |
| | |
| | 2) PLANS DO NOT INDICATE SIZE OF ROOMS OR DISTANCES |
| | BETWEEN WALLS. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES WITH THIS, IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THE BREAK ROOM MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE THE |
| | OPENING INTO THE BREAK ROOM MAY NOT BE WIDE ENOUGH NOR |
| | TTHE OPENING THAT LEADS FROM THE FRONT ENTRY INTO THE |
| | HALLWAY NOR THE HALLWAY THAT LEADS INTO THE BREAKROOM |
| | OR STUDENT LOUNGE. ACCESSIBILITY CODE 403.5.1. |
| | |
| | 3) PLANS DO NOT INDICATE SIZE OF ROOMS OR DISTANCES |
| | BETWEEN WALLS. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES WITH THIS, IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THE BREAK ROOM MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE THE |
| | OPENING INTO THE BREAK ROOM MAY NOT BE WIDE ENOUGH NOR |
| | TTHE OPENING THAT LEADS FROM THE FRONT ENTRY INTO THE |
| | HALLWAY NOR THE HALLWAY THAT LEADS INTO THE BREAKROOM |
| | OR STUDENT LOUNGE. ACCESSIBILITY CODE 403.5.1. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEET A-1 INDICATES TTHE USE OF A FIRE WALL, A FIRE |
| | WALL IS EITHER A 3 HOUR OR 4 HOUR WALL THAT SEPERATES |
| | BUILDINGS,IS THE CORRECT TERM TO BE "FIRE PARTITION" |
| | WHICH IS A TENANT SEPERATION WALL, 709.1.6.. |
| | |
| | 5) 2010 FBC-B 712.6 FIRE WALLS, FIRE BARRIERS, FIRE |
| | PARTITIONS, SMOKE BARRIERS AND SMOKE PARTITIONS OR ANY |
| | OTHER WALL REQUIRED TO HAVE PROTECTED OPENINGS SHALL BE |
| | EFFECTIVELY AND PERMANENTLY IDENTIFIED WITH SIGNS OR |
| | STENCILING IN A MANNER ACCEPTABLE TO THE AUTHORITY |
| | HAVING JURISDICTION. SUCH IDENTIFICATION SHALL BE ABOVE |
| | ANY DECORATIVE CEILING AND IN CONCEALED SPACES. |
| | SUGGESTED WORDING FOR FIRE AND SMOKE BARRIERS: "FIRE |
| | AND SMOKE BARRIER - PROTECT ALL OPENINGS." |
| | |
| | 6) NO DETAILS OF HANDICAPPED RESTROOMS WERE SUBMITTED |
| | UNDER THE FIRST PLAN REVIEW. 2010 FBC-B |
