Mr. Westfall,
The following list describes revisions made to the drawings in response to the plan
review comments received for the above referenced project. Revisions to the drawings have
been clouded and are marked with delta #1, labeled' Bulletin #1 dated 08/28/14.
1 a.) The existing fire separation wall will have (1) additional layer of 5/8" Type `X' gypsum board
laminated to each side to achieve the 2 hour fire rating per the required minimum fire separation per
Table 707.3.10. The (2) new fire shutters were revised from 1 hour fire rating to a 1-1/2 hour fire
rating.'
1 b.) A new door has been added to the south side of the building next to the restroom area, (Door
#14, Sheet Al. 1). The door shall be a 1-1/2 hour rated hollow metal door and frame assembly due to
the fact that the south wall is a 2 hour fire rated assembly.

building at 10'-0" a.f.f. The sales area racking height is 7'-0" a.f.f. to the top of the highest shelf with
