| | |
| | 1) SHEET ALS, THE LIFE SAFETY SHEET AND OTHER SHEETS |
| | EXAMPLE A1.1.1: |
| | |
| | 1A) INDICATE ROOM 219 AS COPY AREA/ KITCHEN. WHEN THE |
| | WORDING KITCHEN IS USED IN THE COMMERCIAL CODES THE |
| | 2017 FBC-B SECTION 904.2.2 WOULD REQUIRE COMMERCIAL |
| | HOOD AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. A BETTER WORDING FOR THE AREA |
| | IN QUESTION WOULD BE BREAK ROOM. |
| | |
| | 1B) THERE IS A SECTION IN THE KITCHEN REFERENCING |
| | DETAIL 2/A4.0.2. THIS DETAIL SHOWS A SHELF ABOVE THE |
| | SINK WITH THE TOP OF THE SHELF AT A HEIGHT OF 4 FEET 9 |
| | INCHES. THE ELECTRICAL SHEETS E0.1 & E3.1 SHOW 2 |
| | ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS LABELED LA-12 & LA14 AND THE NOTE |
| | HT- TBD. I WILL TAKE THE NOTE TO MEAN HEIGHT TO BE |
| | DETERMINED. PLEASE NOTE IF THE DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR |
| | BOTH THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ELECTRICAL SHEETS IF IN THE |
| | FUTURE THESE OUTLETS ARE TO FEED A MICROWAVE APPLIANCE |
| | THE SHELF ITSELF IS HIGHER THAN ALLOWED BY THE 2017 |
| | ACCESSIBILITY CODE SEE SECTIONS: |
| | |
| | 308 REACH RANGES |
| | 308.2 FORWARD REACH. / 308.2.1 UNOBSTRUCTED/ 308.2.2 |

| | |
| | 1C) SHEET ALS UNDER THE HEADING CODE DATA DOES NOT |
| | INDICATE IF THERE ARE GANGED RESTROOMS (WITH ACCESSIBLE |
| | RESTROOMS) AND WATER FOUNTAINS (HIGH/ LOW)IN THE COMMON |
| | ELEMENTS OF THE CORRIDOR CORE OF THE BUILDING? |
| | 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. THERE ARE |
| | 2 ISSUES WITH THE RESTROOMS AS CONFIGURED SINCE WE NEED |
| | TO MEET BOTH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2017 FBC-B SECTION |
| | 2902.1 AND TABLE 2902.1 AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOUND |
| | UNDER THE 2017 FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE. |
| | IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CODES THE MOST |
| | STRINGENT THEN APPLIES. MISSING SERVICE SINK AND |
| | DRINKING FOUNTAIN. |
| | 1C)(1) MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN TABLE 2902.1 |
| | FOR BUSINESS OCCUPANCY FOR 39 0CCPUPANTS. SEPARATE |
| | FACILITIES WOULD BE REQUIRED BY FBC-B SECTION 2902.2, |
| | DOES NOT MEET ANY EXCEPTIONS. |
| | |
| | 1C)(2) THE 2ND ISSUE IS UNDER THE 2017 |
| | FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE 213.2 WHERE TOILET ROOMS ARE |
| | PROVIDED EACH TOILET ROOM SHALL COMPLY WITH 603. IF ONE |
| | OF THE EXCEPTIONS DOES APPLY PLEASE STATE SO ON THE |
| | PLANS. |
| | |
| | 1D) DRINKING FOUNTAINS MUST COMPLY WITH THE 2017 |
| | FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE SECTION 211.2 MINIMUM NUMBER. NO |
| | FEWER THAN 2 DRINKING FOUNTAINS SHALL BE PROVIDED. ONE |
| | DRINKING FOUNTAIN SHALL COMPLY WITH 602.1 THROUGH 602.6 |
| | AND ONE DRINKING FOUNTAIN SHALL COMPLY WITH 602.7. |
| | |

| | OF 11 FEET 8 INCHES WHEN MEASURING THE DOOR THE DOOR |
| | MEASURES OUT TO BE APPROXIMATELY 4 FEET 5 INCHES. THERE |
| | IS A DISCREPANCY IN MEASUREMENTS FOR 11 FEET 8 INCHES? |
| | DISCREPANCY IN PLANS, 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
| | IS REQUIRED. WITH THE MEASUREMENT OF THE WALL AT 11 |
| | FEET 8 INCHES THE DOOR SWING SHOULD CLEAR THE REQUIRED |
| | CLEAR FLOOR SPACE. ALSO YOU CAN SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | 603.2.3 EX. # 2. |
| | |
