Project: Channel Marker TI
Project Address: 120 W Dayton Street #D1
During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
bold
result in additional comments. Items that recur on this list appear in anditalics.
On sheet A-3.1 New Floor Plan:
1.Indicate on the plans the required 1-hour fire-resistance rated wall construction for the
separation of occupancies along the south and west walls by the pool tables per IBC Table
Include the UL design
508.4. The walls must be constructed as fire barriers per IBC 707.
number (or equivalent alternative) and the required fasteners and their spacing for the
attachment of the gypsum wallboard to guide proper construction and inspection.
The
response to the prior plan review comment regarding the construction criteria of the 1 hour
fire-resistance rated walls along the south and west area by the pool tables does not appear
to result in an assembly meeting the requirements of ASTM E119/UL 263. Typically, a
required fire-resistance rated wall assembly using the preferred, or utilizing the existing
construction materials is selected from the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) library or the
Gypsum Association (GA) Fire Resistance Design Manual. The UL design or GA file
number will include the required framing members (including spacing), the type, thickness,
orientation, number of layers, and offset of the gypsum wallboard, and the methods, required
fasteners and their spacing used to attach the gypsum wallboard. All of this information
needs to be listed on the plans to guide the proper construction and inspection of the fire
barrier. The fire barrier shall extend from the floor to the underside of the roof sheathing
and be securely attached. The fire barrier must be continuous through any concealed space,
such as the space above a suspended ceiling.
