| | RECORD IS TRYING TO TAKE THE EXCEPTION TO SECTION 704.1 |
| | OF THE 2014 EXISTING BUILDING CODE AN ALLOWABLE 5 |
| | PERCENT REDUCTION IN THE CLEAR OPENING DIMENSIONS OF |
| | THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW. I?VE SPOKEN WITH THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL ROBERT BROWN ABOUT THIS REQUEST TO USE THE |
| | EXCEPTION. THIS REVIEW, NEITHER THE DESIGNER OF RECORD |
| | NOR THE CONTRACTOR SUBMITTED PROOF OF THE EXISTING |
| | WINDOWS CLEAR OPENING. MR. BROWN SAID PROOF CAN BE |

| | PROVIDE THE VERTICAL DIMENSION FROM THE TOP OF THE |

| | 1ST ROUND COMMENT. SHEET 2.0 INDICATES THE WINDOW TYPE |

| | WINDOWS THAT WAS WIDELY USED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. |
