Project: Partial Mechanical for Point Edwards Building 8
Project Address: 55 Pine Street
In reviewing the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information, clarifications
or changes are needed. Please submit 2 sets of revised plans/documents to Marie Harrison, Permit
Coordinator.
I. The parking garage for this building is an "enclosed parking garage". It is not classified, nor does it
meet the requirements of an "open parking garage" per IBC 406.3 (also note that it still would not meet
the minimum natural ventilation openings for length of openings (40% of the building perimeter), and
per the architectural plans the total area of the openings is approximately 366 sf not 1260 sf).
a. A mechanical ventilation system is required (IBC 406.4.2) and must be provided at the rate of 1.5
cfm per square foot of gross floor area of the garage (VIAQ 304.1).
b. The garage exhaust outlet must meet the requirement of IMC/WAC 502.7.3.6 #2 for termination.
c. If a shaft will be provided, show the location of the shaft on all affected floors/roof, and provide
shaft construction details, listed and tested fire rated assemblies to clearly show code requirements.
