RE: Plan Check #2007-0218
Project: La Chaquita -Remodel
Project Address: 22921 Highway 99, #I
During review of the plans for the above noted project, it was found that the following information,
clarifications or changes are needed. Provide written responses to each comment and where changes can be
found on the plans. Submit revised plans/documents to Marie Harrison, Permit Coordinator.
I . On the Existing Floor Plan, note both suite numbers. On the Proposed Floor Plan, note the new
combined suite number.
2. The occupant load of the combined spaces is 58 requiring 2 exits (IBC 1004). Exit doors must be
spaced apart a minimum of 1/2 the overall diagonal distance of the combined tenant space (IBC 1004.2).
Provide exit door size, illuminated exit signs with method of power back-up, emergency lighting with
method of power back-up, door hardware (for egress and accessibility), etc. If main entry door will be
key locked, it must meet IBC 1008.1.8.3, including signage.
3. The alterations require accessibility upgrades per IBC/WAC 3409.6. On the plans clearly show that the
exterior and interior accessible route of travel complies with current code, or provide upgrades per the
previously referenced section. If you choose to used exception #1 of that section, provide a letter
stamped and signed by the architect (reference the code exception), stating what parts of the existing site
and building are not accessible, the project cost and what 20% of it equals, list the upgrades that will be
done as part of this permit as well as showing that the total cost of the upgrades is at least 20%. Possible
upgrades for this type of occupancy would be exterior parking and path of travel to the main entrance of
the tenant space, accessible route throughout the tenant space such as restrooms, customer counter,
doors, door hardware, etc.
4. Provide revised contractor's bid to accurately reflect work.
