	STORED, HOW WILL IT STORED (PALLET TYPE, SHELVING TYPE,
	WRAPPING OF PRODUCT, ETC)



	1A) SHEET LS 1.0 - THERE IS AN INDICATION OF A MIXED
	NONSPEARATED OCCUPANCY; BUSINESS/STORAGE
	THOUGH THERE A SEPARATION OF THE OCCUPANCY THERE DOES
	NOT APPEAR TO BE A SEPARATION OF THE HAZARD.

	PER NFPA 101 CH 6 OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION.

	6.2 HAZARD OF CONTENTS.
	6.2.1 GENERAL.
	6.2.1.1 FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS CODE, THE HAZARD OF
	CONTENTS SHALL
	BE THE RELATIVE DANGER OF THE START AND SPREAD OF FIRE,
	THE DANGER OF
	SMOKE OR GASES GENERATED, AND THE DANGER OF EXPLOSION
	OR OTHER
	OCCURRENCE POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE LIVES AND SAFETY
	OF THE
	OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE.
	6.2.1.2 HAZARD OF CONTENTS SHALL BE CLASSIFIED BY THE
	REGISTERED
	DESIGN PROFESSIONAL (RDP) OR OWNER AND SUBMITTED TO THE
	AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL
	ON THE BASIS
	OF THE CHARACTER OF THE CONTENTS AND THE PROCESSES OR
	OPERATIONS
	CONDUCTED IN THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE.
	6.2.1.3* FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS CODE, WHERE DIFFERENT
	DEGREES OF
	HAZARD OF CONTENTS EXIST IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF A
	BUILDING OR STRUCTURE,
	THE MOST HAZARDOUS SHALL GOVERN THE CLASSIFICATION,
	UNLESS
	HAZARDOUS AREAS ARE SEPARATED OR PROTECTED AS SPECIFIED
	IN SECTION
	8.7 AND THE APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF CHAPTERS 11 THROUGH
	43.
	6.2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARD OF CONTENTS.
	6.2.2.1* GENERAL. THE HAZARD OF CONTENTS OF ANY
	BUILDING OR
	STRUCTURE SHALL BE CLASSIFIED AS LOW, ORDINARY, OR HIGH
	IN
	ACCORDANCE WITH 6.2.2.2, 6.2.2.3, AND 6.2.2.4.
	6.2.2.2* LOW HAZARD CONTENTS. LOW HAZARD CONTENTS SHALL
	BE
	CLASSIFIED AS THOSE OF SUCH LOW COMBUSTIBILITY THAT NO
	SELFPROPAGATING
	FIRE THEREIN CAN OCCUR.
	6.2.2.3* ORDINARY HAZARD CONTENTS. ORDINARY HAZARD
	CONTENTS SHALL
	BE CLASSIFIED AS THOSE THAT ARE LIKELY TO BURN WITH
	MODERATE RAPIDITY OR
	TO GIVE OFF A CONSIDERABLE VOLUME OF SMOKE.
	6.2.2.4* HIGH HAZARD CONTENTS. HIGH HAZARD CONTENTS
	SHALL BE
	CLASSIFIED AS THOSE THAT ARE LIKELY TO BURN WITH
	EXTREME RAPIDITY OR FROM
	WHICH EXPLOSIONS ARE LIKELY. (FOR MEANS OF EGRESS
	REQUIREMENTS, SEE
	SECTION 7. 11.)

	PLEASE NOTE THE APPENDIX NARRATIVE FOR HAZARD
	CLASSIFICATION:

	A.6.2.2.2 CHAPTER 42 RECOGNIZES STORAGE OF
	NONCOMBUSTIBLE
	MATERIALS AS LOW HAZARD. IN OTHER OCCUPANCIES, IT IS
	ASSUMED
	THAT, EVEN WHERE THE ACTUAL CONTENTS HAZARD IS NORMALLY
	LOW,
	THERE IS SUFFICIENT LIKELIHOOD THAT SOME COMBUSTIBLE
	MATERIALS
	OR HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS WILL BE INTRODUCED IN
	CONNECTION
	WITH BUILDING REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE, OR SOME
	PSYCHOLOGICAL
	FACTOR MIGHT CREATE CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO PANIC, SO
	THAT THE
	EGRESS FACILITIES CANNOT SAFELY BE REDUCED BELOW THOSE
	SPECIFIED
	FOR ORDINARY HAZARD CONTENTS.
	A.6.2.2.3 ORDINARY HAZARD CLASSIFICATION REPRESENTS THE
	CONDITIONS
	FOUND IN MOST BUILDINGS AND IS THE BASIS FOR THE
	GENERAL
	REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CODE.
	THE FEAR OF POISONOUS FUMES OR EXPLOSIONS IS
	NECESSARILY A
	RELATIVE MATTER TO BE DETERMINED ON A JUDGMENT BASIS.
	ALL
	SMOKE CONTAINS SOME TOXIC FIRE GASES BUT, UNDER
	CONDITIONS OF
	ORDINARY HAZARD, THERE SHOULD BE NO UNDULY DANGEROUS
	EXPOSURE
	DURING THE PERIOD NECESSARY TO ESCAPE FROM THE FIRE
	AREA,
	ASSUMING THERE ARE PROPER EXITS.

	SO THE HAZARD OF THE WAREHOUSE(ORDINARY) AND
	BUSINESS(LOW) SEPARATION IS REQUIRED.

	PLEASE PROVIDE THE REQUIRED RATED SEPARATION OF THE TWO
	HAZARDS.



	2) SHEET LS 1.0 - THERE IS ONLY 1 EXIT INDICATED FROM
	THE WAREHOUSE AREA. TWO ARE REQUIRED.

	PER NFPA 101

	42.2.4 NUMBER OF MEANS OF EGRESS. THE NUMBER OF MEANS
	OF
	EGRESS SHALL COMPLY WITH 42.2.4.1 THROUGH 42.2.4.3.
	(SEE ALSO
	SECTION 7.4.)
	42.2.4.1 THE NUMBER OF MEANS OF EGRESS SHALL COMPLY
	WITH ANY OF
	THE FOLLOWING:
	(1) IN LOW HAZARD STORAGE OCCUPANCIES, A SINGLE MEANS
	OF EGRESS
	SHALL BE PERMITTED FROM ANY STORY OR SECTION.
	(2) IN ORDINARY HAZARD STORAGE OCCUPANCIES, A SINGLE
	MEANS OF
	EGRESS SHALL BE PERMITTED FROM ANY STORY OR SECTION,
	PROVIDED
	THAT THE EXIT CAN BE REACHED WITHIN THE DISTANCE
	PERMITTED AS A
	COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL.
	(3) ALL BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES NOT COMPLYING WITH
	42.2.4.1(1) OR
	42.2.4.1(2) AND USED FOR STORAGE, AND EVERY SECTION
	THEREOF
	CONSIDERED SEPARATELY, SHALL HAVE NOT LESS THAN TWO
	SEPARATE
	MEANS OF EGRESS AS REMOTELY LOCATED FROM EACH OTHER AS
	PRACTICABLE.

	THE TABLE INDICATES 50FT FOR AN UNSPRINKLERED BUILDING,
	THE PLAN INDICATES 75FT.

	PLEASE REVIEW AND CORRECT.




	3) SHEET LS 1.0 - RACKS ARE INDICATED AND SHALL BE
	SUBMITTED AND INSTALLED UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT AND SHOP
	DRAWINGS INCLUDING MANUFACTURE SPEC SHEETS.

	PLEASE PROVIDE A NOTE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT



	4) SHEET LS 1.0 & SP 1 -




	SHEET A 1.1 - WITHIN THE DOOR SCHEDULE THERE ARE
	INDICATIONS OF HARDWARE SETS; HOWEVER, I COULD NOT FIND
	THE DETAILS OF THE HARDWARE SETS TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE
