| 2018-07-18 11:45:28 | THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE |
| | MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1) THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS OF FIRE PREVENTION WERE NOT |
| | SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED AND WILL BE RE-ENTERED BELOW |
| | |
| | ******************************************************* |
| | ******************************************************* |
| | **************** |
| | |
| | |
| | 1) THE OCCUPANCY IS INDICATED AS WAREHOUSE; HOWEVER, |
| | MINI SHOWROOMS ARE INDICATED WITH AN OPEN FLOOR SPACE |
| | INDICATED AS SHOWROOM. THIS CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY APPEARS |
| | TO BE MERCANTILE IN THE LIFE SAFETY CODE. |
| | |
| | PER NFPA 101, CHAPTER 6, CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPANCY. |
| | |
| | 6.1.10.1* DEFINITION - MERCANTILE OCCUPANCY. AN |
| | OCCUPANCY USED |
| | FOR THE DISPLAY AND SALE OF MERCHANDISE. |
| | |

| | CODE REFERENCES. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW COMMENT: |
| | |
| | 1A) SHEET T 1 APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO GROUP. |
| | THERE IS NO OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION IN THE FFPC |
| | INDICATED AS GROUP. |
| | |
| | IT CAN BE MIXED; SEPARATED OR NON SEPARATED OR MULTIPLE |
| | OCCUPANCY. THE LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS WOULD NEED TO |
| | BE COMPARED AND APPLY THE MOST STRICT. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 2) THERE IS A HAND WRITTEN INDICATION THAT THE |
| | OCCUPANCY IS "BETWEEN FIRE WALLS". THERE ARE NO |
| | INDICATIONS ON THE PLAN SET DRAWINGS OR LISTING |
| | CALL-OUTS THAT THE EXISTING WALLS ARE FIRE RATED. |
| | |
| | WHAT IS THE SEPARATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE |
| | SURROUNDING OCCUPANCIES? A 2 HOUR RATING IS REQUIRED. |

| | 6.1.14.3.1 EACH PORTION OF THE BUILDING SHALL BE |
| | CLASSIFIED AS TO ITS USE IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 6.1. |
| | 6.1.14.3.2* THE BUILDING SHALL COMPLY WITH THE MOST |
| | RESTRICTIVE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE OCCUPANCIES INVOLVED, UNLESS |
| | SEPARATE SAFEGUARDS |
| | ARE APPROVED. |
| | 6.1.14.4 SEPARATED OCCUPANCIES. (SEE ALSO 6.1.14.1.2.) |
| | 6.1.14.4.1 WHERE SEPARATED OCCUPANCIES ARE PROVIDED, |
| | EACH PART OF THE |
| | BUILDING COMPRISING A DISTINCT OCCUPANCY, AS DESCRIBED |
| | IN THIS CHAPTER, |
| | SHALL BE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM OTHER OCCUPANCIES BY |
| | FIRE-RESISTIVE |
| | ASSEMBLIES, AS SPECIFIED IN 6.1.14.4.2, 6.1.14.4.3, |
| | TABLE 6.1.14.4.1(A), |
| | AND TABLE 6.1.14.4.1(B), UNLESS SEPARATION IS PROVIDED |
| | BY APPROVED |
| | EXISTING SEPARATIONS OR AS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY |
| | 6.1.14.4.6. |
| | 6.1.14.4.2 OCCUPANCY SEPARATIONS SHALL BE CLASSIFIED AS |
| | 3-HOUR FIRE |
| | RESISTANCE?RATED, 2-HOUR FIRE RESISTANCE?RATED, OR |

| | 6.1.14.4.3 THE MINIMUM FIRE RESISTANCE RATING SPECIFIED |
| | IN TABLE |
| | 6.1.14.4.1(A) AND TABLE 6.1.14.4.1(B) SHALL BE |
| | PERMITTED TO BE |
| | REDUCED BY 1 HOUR, BUT IN NO CASE SHALL IT BE REDUCED |
| | TO LESS THAN 1 |
| | HOUR, WHERE THE BUILDING IS PROTECTED THROUGHOUT BY AN |
| | APPROVED |
| | AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | 9.7.1.1(1) AND |
| | SUPERVISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 9.7.2, UNLESS PROHIBITED |
| | BY THE |
| | DOUBLE-DAGGER FOOTNOTE ENTRIES IN THE TABLES. |
| | 6.1.14.4.4 OCCUPANCY SEPARATIONS SHALL BE VERTICAL, |
| | HORIZONTAL, OR |
| | BOTH OR, WHEN NECESSARY, OF SUCH OTHER FORM AS REQUIRED |
| | TO PROVIDE |
| | COMPLETE SEPARATION BETWEEN OCCUPANCY DIVISIONS IN THE |
| | BUILDING. |
| | 6.1.14.4.5* EACH SEPARATED PORTION OF THE BUILDING |
| | SHALL COMPLY |
| | WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE OCCUPANCY THEREIN. |

| | REFERENCES. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 2A) SHEET 2 A - THERE IS A DOOR INDICATED WITHIN THE |
| | INDICATED FIRE WALL; HOWEVER, THE DOOR SCHEDULE DOES |
| | NOT INDICATE ANY FIRE RATING FOR THESE DOORS |
| | |
| | PLEASE CORRECT OR JUSTIFY. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) WHEN RESUBMITTING, PLEASE PROVIDE PLAN SHEET |
