| 2023-02-14 15:25:18 | THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE |
| | MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1) THERE ARE REAR EXITS INDICATED ON THE LIFE SAFETY |
| | PLANS, |
| | |
| | PER NFPA 101, CH 12 NEW ASSEMBLY, 38 NEW BUSINESS, & CH |
| | 7 MEANS OF EGRESS. |
| | |
| | 7.7 DISCHARGE FROM EXITS |

| | DIRECTLY, AT A PUBLIC |
| | WAY OR AT AN EXTERIOR EXIT DISCHARGE, UNLESS OTHERWISE |
| | PROVIDED IN 7.7.1.2 |
| | THROUGH 7.7.1.4. |
| | |
| | THERE MAY BE A SERVICE ROAD NEXT TO THE RR, HOWEVER, I |
| | BELIEVE A FENCE IS BEING PROPOSED THAT MAY |
| | LIMIT/RESTRICT PASSAGE IN EITHER DIRECTION. |
| | |
| | THERE MAY ALSO BE GATES ALONG THIS FENCE THAT NEEDS TO |
| | BE ACCESSIBLE. |
| | |
| | AN ADDITIONAL CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY BE UNPROTECTED |
| | OPENINGS ALONG ALL THE VARIOUS OCCUPANCIES ALONG THE |
| | FENCE LINE THAT COULD EXPOSE PEDESTRIANS TO THE EFFECTS |
| | OF FIRE AND SMOKE. |
