Notes

Date	Text
2022-01-06 16:26:25	THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE
	MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:

	1) THERE IS AN INDICATION OF AN ASSEMBLY SEATING AREA
	THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL PERMIT.

	THERE IS NO FIRE RATED SEPARATION BETWEEN THE
	OCCUPANCIES; ASSEMBLY/INDUSTRIAL.

	PER NFPA 101 CH 6 OCCUPACNY CLASSIFICATION.

	6.1.14 MULTIPLE OCCUPANCIES.
	6.1.14.1 GENERAL.
	6.1.14.1.1 MULTIPLE OCCUPANCIES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE
	REQUIREMENTS OF
	6.1.14.1 AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
	(1) MIXED OCCUPANCIES ? 6.1.14.3
	(2) SEPARATED OCCUPANCIES ? 6.1.14.4

	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.

	6.2.1.3* 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.

	INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCIES EXPOSE OCCUPANTS TO A WIDE RANGE
	OF
	PROCESSES AND MATERIALS OF VARYING HAZARD.
	SPECIAL-PURPOSE
	INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCIES, WHICH ARE CHARACTERIZED BY
	LARGE INSTALLATIONS
	OF EQUIPMENT THAT DOMINATE THE SPACE, ARE ADDRESSED
	SEPARATELY
	FROM GENERAL-PURPOSE INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES, WHICH HAVE
	HIGHER DENSITIES OF HUMAN OCCUPANCY.
	INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY BUILDINGS, ALONG WITH STORAGE
	OCCUPANCY
	BUILDINGS, ARE MORE LIKELY THAN ANY OTHER OCCUPANCY TO
	HAVE CONTENTS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF HAZARDS. WHERE
	INDUSTRIAL
	OPERATIONS IN A SPECIAL-PURPOSE INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY OR
	GENERAL-PURPOSE INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY INCLUDE HIGH
	HAZARD
	MATERIALS, PROCESSES, OR CONTENTS (SEE 6.2.2.4), THE
	OCCUPANCY IS
	TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A HIGH HAZARD INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY,
	NOT AS A
	SPECIAL-PURPOSE OR GENERAL-PURPOSE INDUSTRIAL
	OCCUPANCY.
	DEPENDING ON ITS CHARACTERISTICS, A LABORATORY CAN BE
	CLASSIFIED
	AS A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY, INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY, OR OTHER
	OCCUPANCY.

	DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY THE
	ASSEMBLY SPACE IS REQUIRED TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE
	INDUSTRIAL SPACE BY A 2 HOUR FIRE RATED SEPARATION OR 1
	HOUR WITH COMPLETE FIRE SPRINKLER COVERAGE.



	2) A REVIEW OF THE DOOR SCHEDULE IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE
	THAT THE EXIT DOORS MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIRMENTS OF
	ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY AND REQUIRED FIRE RATING.



	3) A REVIEW OF THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO
	ENSURE IT MEETS THE MINMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSEMBLY
	OCCUPANCY NOTIFICATION.



	4) THE REVISED OCCUPANCY LOAD APPEARS TO BE TOO LOW FOR
	THE PROPOSED ASSEMBLY/SEATING AREAS.

	THE REVISED OCCUPANCY LOAD CALCULATIONS COULD NOT BE
	VERIFIED AS ACTUAL DIMENSION ARE NOT PROVIDED.

	PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED
	ASSEMBLY SPACE/SEATING AREA.


	5) THERE IS AN INDICATION OF A LOW WALL AT THE UPPER
	LEVEL.

	THOUGH THIS INDICATION WAS ON THE ORIGINAL PLAN
	SUBMITTAL, AS THIS NEW ASSEMBLY SPACE HAS BEEN PROPOSED
	WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE UPPER LEVEL.

	PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE INTENDED USE,
	IF ANY, OF THE UPPER LEVEL AND THE RELATIONSHIP IT HAS
	WITH THE NEW ASSEMBLY SPACE.


	6) WHEN RESUBMITTING, PLEASE PROVIDE PLAN SHEET
	REVISION CLOUDS OR NUMBERED NARRATIVE RESPONSES TO THE
	ABOVE.


	7) ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MAY BE PROVIDED ON THE
	RE-SUBMITTAL OF THE ABOVE.
