On page 2:
1.Provide the required minimum exterior accessible route clear width of 44 inches at the ramp
per 1101.2.2. The dimensions shown on detail #1 ADA Ramp Plan and detail #3
ADA Ramp Section indicate 36.
2.Provide the required edge protection on each side of the ramp run and the side of the
landing per 1010.9. The edge protection is intended to prevent a wheelchair from drifting
below the handrail and over the edge of the ramp. The edge protection can be a curb 4
inches in height, a rail placed horizontally 4 inches above the ramp surface, or by in-filling
the guard framing with a wall or barrier.
3.Indicate the required safety glazing for the window on the stair-side of the door per
2406.4.11. A person falling down the stairs may come in contact with the glazing while
attempting to steady or brace themselves during the fall. Since the exposed surface of glass
in the window on the stair-side of the door is within 60 horizontally from the bottom tread
and less than 60 above the walking surface it is required to be safety glazed. Extending the
handrail on the side nearest the window to 60 beyond the bottom tread would serve as a
guard, and since the distance from the guard to the glass is greater than 18, it would
meet the exception for the safety glazing requirement.
