| | SECOND REVIEW ORIGINAL COMMENTS: |
| | 1(A) PROPOSED STOREFRONT PLAN ON SHEET A1 SHOWS THAT |
| | EXISTING EGRESS DOORS ON THE ROOM ADJACENT TO THE |
| | "EXISTING GATHERING HALL WERE REDUCED. DEMO PLAN ON THE |
| | SAME SHEET SHOWS DOUBLE DOORS, WHILE PROPOSED PLAN |

| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | ARCHITECT'S RESPONSE LETTER STATES "EXISTING CONDITIONS |
| | PLAN WAS SHOWN IN ERROR. ONLY A SINGLE DOOR EXISTS ON |
| | EAST SIDE. REVISED PAGE A1 AND PROVIDED PHOTO.". |
| | THIS STATEMENT IS INCORRECT. PHOTO PROVIDED WAS NOT |
| | TAKEN FROM THE BEST ANGLE TO SHOW IF THE EXISTING DOOR |
| | IS SINGLE OR DOUBLE. LOOKING AT THE PHOTO IT APPEARS TO |
| | SHOW TWO VERTICAL DOOR HANDLES AT THE END OF THE |
| | STOREFRONT ON THE EAST SIDE. TO AVOID MAKING A |
| | STATEMENT WITHOUT VERIFYING, I VISITED THE JOBSITE AND |
| | VERIFIED THAT THE EXISTING STOREFRONT HAS DOUBLE DOOR |
| | ON ALL THREE BAYS. PLANS WERE DRAWN CORRECTLY THE FIRST |
| | TIME. REVISE PLANS AS REQUIRED AND IDENTIFY THE USE OF |
| | THIS ROOM AND SHOW THAT THE PROPOSED SINGLE DOOR IS |
| | ADEQUATE TO COMPLY WITH THE EGRESS REQUIREMENTS OF THIS |
| | ROOM. SPECIFY THE USE AND OCCUPANT LOAD AND SHOW THE |
| | ROOM LAYOUT AND DIMENSIONS. SEC. 702.6 FBC-EXISTING |
