| 2015-09-05 02:59:57 | 1) AS PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY. PLEASE |
| | REFER TO THE PREVIOUS COMMENT MADE BY JIM WITMER. |
| | BUILDING PLAN REVIEWER REGARDING THIS OCCUPANCY TYPE. |
| | SEC. 303. EXCEPTION #5 OF THE 2010 FBC CLEARLY STATES |
| | "ACCESSORY RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONAL ROOMS AND RELIGIOUS |
| | AUDITORIUMS WITH OCCUPANT LOADS OF LESS THAN 100 ARE |
| | NOT CONSIDERED SEPARATE OCCUPANCIES" SO I DON'T |
| | UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE DEEMED AN EDUCATIONAL |
| | OCCUPANCY. SECTION 305 OF THE 2010 FBC ALSO STATES |
| | THIS. THE OCCUPANCY TYPE SHALL DETERMINE THE TYPE AND |
| | NUMBER OF SANITARY FACILITIES REQUIRED. SINCE THE |
| | DESIGN PROFESSIONAL IS CALLING THIS AN EDUCATIONAL |
| | OCCUPANCY, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO |
| | DETERMINE IF THIS WOULD INDEED BE DEEMED AN EDUCATIONAL |
| | OCCUPANCY.THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF SANITARY FACILITIES |
| | CANNOT BE DETERMINED UNTIL THE OCCUPANCY OF THIS SPACE |
| | IS DETERMINED. WPB AMEND. TO FBC SEC. 107.2.1. |
| | 2) THE COVER SHEET ON THE PLANS SHOWS ONE OF THE |
| | ADJACENT TENANTS (CHURCH?) AS AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY AND |
| | ON SHEET A1 AND THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN THE SAME ADJACENT |
| | TENANT IS SHOWN AS A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. WHICH IS IT? |
| | WHERE IS THE CHURCH LOCATED? IDENTIFY THE SPACE WHERE |
| | THE CHURCH IS LOCATED. |
| | 3) SHOW THE CLEAR INSIDE DIMENSIONS ( L X W ) OF THE |
| | TOILET ROOM. THE FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE SEC.604.3.1 |
| | REQUIRES A CLEAR FLOOR SPACE OF A MINIMUM OF 60 INCHES |
| | IN WIDTH BY 56 INCHES DEEP FOR A WATER CLOSET. THE |
| | LAVATORY CANNOT ENCROACH INTO THIS CLEAR FLOOR SPACE. |
| | THIS WOULD REQUIRE A MINIMUM WIDTH OF THE TOILET ROOM |
| | TO BE 85". SEC. 906.1 OF THE 2010 FBC-EXISTING BUILDING |
| | CODE REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCESSIBILITY CODE |
| | WHEN A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY OCCURS. |
| | 4) AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, A MINIMUM OF TWO DRINKING |
| | FOUNTAINS ARE REQUIRED BY THE 2010 FBC-ACCESSIBILITY |
| | CODE SEC. 211.2. A WATER COOLER DOES NOT MEET THE CODE |
| | REQUIREMENT. AT A MINIMUM, A HI-LO TYPE DRINKING |
| | FOUNTAIN SHALL BE REQUIRED. |
| | 5) THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL IS CALLING THIS AN |
| | EDUCATIONAL OCCUPANCY YET THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN HAS THE |
| | SANITARY FACILITIES BASED ON AN A-3 OCCUPANCY.CLARIFY. |
| | 6) THE ARCHITECT'S RESPONSE TO THE PLUMBING CODE |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SANITARY |
| | FACILITIES THAT SEPARATE FACILITIES FOR EACH SEX ARE |
| | LOCATED IN THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR AND THAT PERMANENT |
| | ACCESS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE TENANT IS UNACCEPTABLE. |
| | SECTION 403.3.1 CLEARLY PROHIBITS ACCESS TO THE |
| | FACILITIES THROUGH STORAGE ROOMS, CLOSETS AND |
| | KITCHENS.THE PATH OF TRAVEL TO THE FACILITIES IN THE |
| | CHURCH CLEARLY GOES THROUGH A STORAGE AREA AND A |
| | CLOSET. THE SAME APPLIES TO THE LOCATION OF ALL THE |
| | REQUIRED PLUMBING FIXTURES FOR THIS NEW SPACE. |
