RE: Plan Check #2006-0587
Project: Edmonds Fitness -- Revision to exterior stair
Project Address: 8401 Main Street
During review of the revised 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. Please submit revised plans/documents to Marie Harrison, Permit Coordinator.
The Engineering Division will review the stair/landing revision to determine if there is adequate area for
vehicle maneuvering, and comments (if applicable) will be sent to you under separate cover.
1. Revise the floor plan notes regarding the existing stair to be applicable to the new revision.
2. The revised west elevation view notes that the existing stairs will be removed. Clarify if the existing
landing will also be removed and rebuilt. If the existing landing will be extended, provide a
construction detail showing how the concrete landing will be extended to meet the 4'-0" dimension
shown on the revised plans (including the cold joint).
3. Sheet A2-1 shows a new accessible ramp near the loading dock area.
a. Clearly show on the plans what exit(s) are leading to the ramp.
b. Clearly show on the plans that the accessible path of travel is not passing through a storage
area to access the ramp.
c. Clearly show how the loading dock is used by trucks so the accessible route is not
obstructed. Where do the trucks back into?
d. Show the elevation of each ramp landing, dimension the length of each ramp run, dimension
the upper landing, dimension the handrail extensions at the top of the ramp, and cross-
reference the handrail detail.
e. Show ramp on site plan and elevation views.
4. Provide north elevation view of new stair and new accessible ramp.
