| | 2ND REVIEW |
| | DATE: TUES. JAN. 05/2021 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1-5) COMPLIED. |
| | . |
| | 6) NEW COMMENT. |
| | |
| | 6A) DISCREPANCY IN IDENTIFYING DOOR JUST IN FRONT OF |
| | THE WOMEN?S RESTROOM 132. SHEET A-1 LABELS THE DOOR |
| | EITHER ( O ) OR 3, ON THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN THE SAME |
| | DOOR IS LABELED AS ( C ). DISCREPANCY IN PLANS. |
| | 107.2.1.2.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 6B) THIS SAME DOOR SHOWS DIFFERENT DOOR SWINGS |
| | DEPENDING ON THE PLAN. THE COVERSHEET AND LS-1 SHEET |
| | THE DOOR SWINGS ONE WAY AND THE OTHER SHEET A-1 THE |
| | DOOR SWINGS INTO A DIFFERENT CORRIDOR BLOCKING THE |
| | REQUIRED EGRESS FOR THAT CORRIDOR. SECTION 1005.7.1 OF |
| | THE 2017 FBC-B STATES DOORS IN ANY POSITION SHALL NOT |
| | REDUCE THE REQUIRED WIDTH OF MORE THAN ONE HALF THE |
| | REQUIRED WIDTH OF THE CORRIDOR. WHEN CALIBRATING THE |
| | MEASURING TOOL IN PROJECT DOX THERE IS ONLY 1 FOOT FROM |
| | THE CORNER OF THE WALL TO THE DOOR WING DURING THE |
| | TRAVEL OF THE DOOR IN THE RADIUS. FOR OCCUPANT LOADS |
| | LESS THAN 50 THE MINIMUM CORRIDOR WIDTH OF 36 INCHES |
| | WOULD REQUIRE A CLEAR MEASUREMENT OF 18 INCHES. THE |
| | MINIMUM CORRIDOR WIDTH IS 44 INCHES FOR OCCUPANT LOADS |
| | 50 OR MORE FOR A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY THE MINIMUM CLEAR |
| | WIDTH UNOBSTRUCTED WOULD BE 22 INCHES FOR DOOR SWINGS. |
| | SEE TABLE 1020.2 OF THE 2017 FBC-B. |
| | |
| | 6C) THE DESIGNER OF RECORD QUESTIONS THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS AND REFENCE SPEAKING WITH R. GATHRIGHT FOR |
| | BREAKROOMS. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS ON A CASE BY CASE |
| | BASIS, NOT A BLANKET STATEMENT. THE ISSUE THAT HAS TO |
| | BE DETERMINED IS THE OTHER ASSEMBLY AREAS ON THE TOTAL |
| | FLOOR PLATE, NOT JUST THE TENANT SPACE IN QUESTION |
| | WHERE THE ASSEMBLY AREA WOULD BE OVER 10 % OF THE FLOOR |
| | AREA FOR THE ENTIRE FLOOR, IF SO THEN THE FLOOR IS |
| | CONSIDERED A MIXED OCCUPANCY BETWEEN BUSINESS AND |
| | ASSEMBLY. PLEASE REVIEW 508.2.3. AGGREGATE ACCESSORY |
| | OCCUPANCIES OF THE 2017 FBC-B. ONCE THIS IS COMPLETED |
| | WE WOULD KNOW THE TOTAL OCCUPANT LOAD FOR THIS TENANT |
| | SPACE AND DOOR SWING, OCCUPANT LOADS OF 50 OR MORE ARE |
| | REQUIRED TO SWING IN THE DIRECTION OF EGRESS TRAVEL |
| | 2017 FBC-BUILDING SECTION 1010.1.2.1. |
