| | |
| | 1A) THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN 002_ALS1.1 AND SHEET |
| | 003_A1.1.1 THE NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR ALL ROOMS DOES NOT |
| | CORRELATE FROM PAGE TO PAGE. 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL |
| | INFORMATION IS REQUIRED, DISCREPANCY IN THE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 1B) THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN 002_ALS1.1 SHOWS TRAVEL |
| | DISTANCES TO (2) EXITS. THE PLAN DOES SHOW THE OVERALL |
| | DIAGONAL DISTANCE OF THE OFFICE SPACE, ALSO THE |
| | REQUIRED 1/3RD DIAGONAL DISTANCE APART OF 31 FEET 1 |
| | INCH AND THE ACTUAL DIAGONAL DISTANCE THE 2 EXITS ARE |
| | APART 47 FEET 7 INCHES. |
| | |
| | THE ISSUE IS THE DESIGNER OF RECORD HAS SHOWN 2 MEANS |
| | OF EGRESS. THE SECOND MEANS OF EGRESS THAT GOES THROUGH |
| | ROOM 1400.9 IS A FILE STORAGE ROOM. PLEASE REVIEW |
| | SECTION 1016.2 EGRESS THROUGH INTERVENING ROOMS (5) |

| | |
| | PLEASE MEASURE YOUR COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL FROM THE MOST |
| | REMOTE POINT OF THE FILE STORAGE ROOM 1400.12 FOR |
| | TRAVEL DISTANCE TO THE FRONT EGRESS DOORS OF THE OFFICE |
| | SPACE. I MEASURED THE DISTANCE TO APPROXIMATELY 85 |
| | FEET. |
| | REVIEW TABLE 1006.2.1 SPACES WITH ONE EXIT OR EXIT |
| | ACCESS DOORWAY. THE MAXIMUM COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL FOR A |
| | FIRE SPRINKLERED BUILDING WITH AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF LESS |
| | THAN 30 FOR A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY WILL ALLOW YOU 100 |
| | FEET OF COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL. PLEASE ADJUST PLANS |
