| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | |
| | NOTE!!!! THIS COMMENT IS TO MAKE THE DESIGN |
| | PROFESSIONAL AND TENANT AWARE OF EXISTING CODE |
| | COMPLIANCE ISSUES OF THE EXISTING TENANT CONFIGURATION. |
| | AT THIS TIME IT IS NOT CERTAIN THAT THE PROPOSED MEANS |
| | OF EGRESS REFLECT THE ORIGINAL PLANS, AND IF THEY WERE, |
| | THEY WERE ISSUED IN ERROR, OR IF WORK WAS COMPLETED |
| | SINCE THE ISSUED C. O. AND NOT HAVING THE BENEFIT OF |
| | PERMIT. |
| | |
| | ISSUE ONE IS THE OFFICE AREA IS OVER 8,800 SQ FT AND A |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD OF 89 OCCUPANTS. |
| | FBC-B TABLE 1019.2 WILL ONLY ALLOW AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF |
| | 49 WITH A SINGLE EXIT. TWO EXITS ARE REQUIRED AND NOT |
| | TRAVELING THROUGH A HIGHER HAZARD OCCUPANCY, STORAGE |
| | (FBC-B1014.2.1). THE EXITS THAT LEAD INTO THE WAREHOUSE |
| | WOULD NEED TO BE A 2 HR EXIT PASSAGEWAY FROM THE OFFICE |
| | OCCUPANCY TO THE WAREHOUSE EXIT. |
| | |
| | ISSUE TWO IS THERE IS WITHIN THE FENCED IN AREA OF THE |
| | WAREHOUSE THERE IS TWO MEANS OF EGRESS WITHIN THIS AREA |
| | BUT HEY ARE NOT SEPARATED BY 1/3RD THE DISTANCE |
| | (1015.1.2 EXCEPTION 2), THE SECOND ISSUE WITHIN THE |
| | FENCED IN AREA WOULD BE THE COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL HAS |
| | ALSO BEEN EXCEEDED, SPRINKLERED BUILDING WITH A STORAGE |
| | OCCUPANCY ALLOW FOR 100 FT. COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL |
| | 1014.3 EXCEPTION 1). |
| | |
| | THE THIRD AREA OF CONCERN IS THE STORAGE AREA NOT |
| | FENCED IN, COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL HAS BEEN EXCEEDED, |
| | FBC-B 1014.3 EXCEPTION 1. THE OTHER ISSUE IS HOW ONE |
| | DETERMINES IF THE STORAGE AREA IS ONE LARGE ONE OR A |
| | OPEN AREA AND A SECOND FENCED IN AREA UNDER LOCK AND |
| | KEY. WHEN THE AREA IS CONSIDERED ONE LARGE AREA THERE |
| | ARE TWO EXITS BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO TRAVEL THROUGH A |
| | LOCKED AREA, THE TOTAL OCCUPANT LOAD OF THIS SPACE |
| | WOULD BE 64 REQUIRING TWO DOORS. THE DESIGN TEAM CAN |
| | ALLOW THE OCCUPANTS OF THE WAREHOUSE TO TRAVEL THROUGH |
| | THE BUSINESS OCCUPANCY TO AN EXIT. BUT THE DOORS THAT |
| | LEAD FROM THE OFFICE TO WARE HOUSE WOULD HAVE TO BE |
| | REVIEWED FOR SWING IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, |
| | (1008.1.2). |
| | |
