| | TENANT SPACE IS A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY. BARNES & NOBLE |
| | OCCUPIED THIS SPACE A MERCANTILE OCCUPANCY. LA FITNESS |

| | CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 4A) THE MONUMENTAL STAIR IS NOW AN ISSUE (A-3 |
| | OCCUPANCY) WHERE IT WAS NOT UNDER THE MERCANTILE |
| | OCCUPANCY. THE EXCEPTION FOR MONUMENTAL STAIRS IS FOUND |
| | UNDER 708.2 EXCEPTION # 7, THE MONUMENTAL STAIR NOT |
| | REQUIRED TO BE PART OF THE MEANS OF EGRESS BECAUSE |
| | THERE WERE 2 VERTICAL EXITS TO THE 2ND FLOOR. |
| | |
| | THE 2010 FBC-B SECTION 1028.2 REQUIRES 50 % OF THE |
| | TOTAL OCCUPANTS TO EXIT THROUGH THE MAIN EXIT. 1028.3 |
| | ASSEMBLY OTHER EXITS. EACH LEVEL OF AN ASSEMBLY |

| | EXITS SHALL BE ACCESSIBLE FROM A CROSS AISLE OR A SIDE |
| | AISLE. PLEASE PROVIDE CODE COMPLIANCE. |

| | ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS BORDER LINE IS THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND A THIRD REQUIRED STAIRWAY 2010 |
| | FBC-B TABLE 1021.1 IF 501 OCCUPANTS ARE LOCATED ON THE |
| | 2ND FLOOR THEN A THIRD REQUIRED EXIT STAIR WILL ALSO BE |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 5) THE PLANS DO NOT PROVIDE A SECTION THROUGH THE |
| | MONUMENTAL STAIRWAY, PLEASE PROVIDE SUCH SECTION |
| | PROVIDING DETAILS SUCH AS DRAFT CURTAIN AND SPRINKLER |
| | LOCATION. |
| | 2010 FBC-B 708.2 EXCEPTION 2.1. WHERE THE AREA OF THE |
| | FLOOR OPENING BETWEEN STORIES DOES NOT EXCEED TWICE THE |
| | HORIZONTAL PROJECTED AREA OF THE ESCALATOR OR STAIRWAY |
| | AND THE OPENING IS PROTECTED BY A DRAFT CURTAIN AND |
| | CLOSELY SPACED SPRINKLERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 13. |

| | LIMITED TO OPENINGS THAT DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN FOUR |
| | STORIES. PLEASE NOTE THIS EXCEPTION IS ONLY FOR |
| | BUSINESS & MERCANTILE, NOT FOR AN ASSEMBLY USE, PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE HOW THIS CODE VIOLATION WILL BE COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 6) THE LIFE SAFETY PLANS HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS SINCE |
| | THE MONUMETAL STAIRS CAN NOT BE USED FOR EXITING AND |
| | SINCE THE 2ND FLOOR OCCUPANT LOAD IS AT 500 OCCUPANTS, |
| | NEITHER THE STAIRS NOR THE DOORS AT THE BACK OF THE |
| | BUILDING WILL HANDLE THESE OCCUPANT LOADS. THE DESIGNER |
| | IS TAKING A 36 INCH DOOR AND STATING 180 OCCUPANTS CAN |
| | EXIT THIS OPENING, WHEREAS THE CLEAR OPENING IS CLOSER |
| | TO 34 INCHES AND ONLY 170 OCCUPANTS CAN EXIT. FOR A |
| | PAIR OF DOUBLE DOORS 340 OCCUPANTS. THE BACK OF HOUSE |
| | SEERVICE CORRIDOR IS ALSO CONSIDERED A EXIT PASSAGEWAY |
| | SINCE IT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE VERTICAL EXIT. MANY |
| | OF THE DOORS IN THIS EXIT PASSAGEWAY DOORWAYS ARE NOT |
| | WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE NEW ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCIES THAT NOW |
| | EXIST. FOR EXAMPLE TO THE SOUTH THE SPACE WAS |
| | ORIGINALLY DESIGN FOR MERCANTILE OCCUPANCY, THIS IS NOW |
| | GOING TO BE A RESTRAUNT WITH DOUBLE THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | OF HOW THE EXIT PASSAGE WAY WAS DESIGNED. THE SAME HOLD |
| | TRUE JUST TO THE NORTH, A SECOND FLOOR NIGHTCLUB AND |
| | THE SECONDARY EXIT THAT LEADS TO THE EXIT STAIRS. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE THE OCCUPANT LOADS THAT WILL SHARE THE |
| | EXITING FOR THIS COMMON EXIT PASSAGE WAY. PLEASE NOTE |
| | PART OF THE EXIT DISCHARGE A 4 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK |
| | AND STAIRS., THE STAIRS WILL ONLY ALLOW FOR 160 |
| | OCCUPANTS. PLEASE PROVIDE THE LIFE SAFETY PLANS TO THE |
| | PUBLIC WAY. |
| | |
| | 7-9) COMPLIED. |
