RE: Crozier Building @ 420 5°i Avenue South
VIA FACSIMILE
Dear Mr. Tormohten,
Thank you for your letter of May 17, 2006. Before I address the code issues that you have
referenced in your letter I am concerned that some of your statements suggest that Mr. Crozier
has already made improvements and/or moved new tenants into spaces that would have required
permits and/or advanced City occupancy approval. If this is the case Mr. Crozier shall
immediately identify to the City in writing, which tenants are a change of occupant group/use
based on the last permitted occupancy approval for each space and also indicate what work has
been performed without first obtaining a building permit. No further construction work may be
performed on his building until a valid building permit is issued.
Regarding existing buildings, as you may know the State Building Code Council is considering
adopting the 2006 edition of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) in July of 2007.
Public hearings this summer may provide an early indication of whether or not the Council will
adopt this code which may ultimately address some of your building code issues.
In the meantime, International Building Code (IBC) Section 104.11, entitled Alternate Designs
allows the Building Official to consider alternate materials, designs and methods for code
equivalency, for example using the IEBC in lieu of the IBC or reviewing a floor -ceiling
assembly that has not been specifically tested, etc. However, please be advised, an alternate
design request requires the design professional demonstrating that in his/her professional
opinion, equivalency to the code requirement is met with the proposed alternate design.
Sometimes equivalency is proven with testing and/or reports by certified individuals. The
Building Official reviews the request and concurs or disagrees with the argument of code
equivalency. As with all alternate design requests the City suggests that property owners consult
with legal advisors and their insurance company regarding liability associated with alternate
designs. If you wish to submit an Alternate Design Request the fee for such review is $180.00.

Mr. Tormohlen
June 1, 2006
Page Two
Concurrently, using IBC 3406.1 the design professional should specifically indicate which
requirements of the code should be exempt and again provide statements supporting the
reasoning.
The change of B2 occupancy to B & M occupancies occurred in the 1994 edition of the Uniform
Building Code, not the 2003 IBC; however, the 2 hour fire barrier requirement was introduced in
the 2003 IBC. The 2003 IBC is the current adopted code by the State and City and is the code
which Mr. Crozier's project is subject to.
The basis for the fire barrier requirement between B and M occupancies is primarily because
mercantile occupancies normally involve certain quantities of combustible merchandise and the
fuel load is considered to be substantially higher than an office. This higher degree of fire hazard
is certainly a key reason for the code requirement and for added protection between M and other
occupancies. Also, M occupancy customers are less familiar with the means of egress systems
as opposed to an office building primarily occupicd,by regular employees. The non -separated
uses section attempts to address mixed use occupancies up to a certain area in size.
Lastly, for clarification, Ms. Bullis did not suggest to you to write a letter to the City Building
Official rather when you wanted to discuss basing the use on previous codes rather than current
code, she informed you that your could write a tetter to the Building Official explaining your
position. She also explained the alternate design review process. During her reviews on this
project she has continually and correctly identified current IBC code issues that are affected by
Mr. Crozier's proposal.
Sincerely,
Jeannine L. Graf

RE: "The Old Church"
420 5" Ave S.
Owner: Philippe Crozier
Plan Check #05-369
Ms. Graf,
I am writing to you in behalf of Philippe Crozier, owner of the above referenced property. Mr
Crozier and I have met with Ann Bullis, and at her suggestion we are sending you this letter.
Last fall, Mr. Crozier changed tenants in his building. This required some repartitioning on the
main floor, which in tum required applying for a building permit. During the plan review, Ann
Bullis has determined that we have had a 'change of occupancy', and therefore we are now
required to provide occupancy separation between tenants. This was the reason for our meeting
With Ann, and also this letter to you.
Here is a brief history of the property:
'The Old church" was moved to the site in 1983 and permitted as a B-1 / B-2 occupancy
under the 1982 UBC. The structure is a two-story wood frame structure with a
basement, Type V -N: The main floor was B-2, retail and offices. The second story was
B-2, offices. The basement was B-2, storage and B-1, garage. The only occupancy
separation required was one-hour between the B-1 and B-2, which exists.
Over the years the tenants on the main floor have changed. The space has been retail
(furniture sales), offices, publishing co., and beauty salon. These have all been B-2
occupancies and were allowed under the current certificate of occupancy.
The proposed change of tenants, by Mr. Crozier, under the definitions of the original permit and
current certificate of occupancy, are only that — a change of tenant — not a change of occupancy.
The previous tenants, a beauty salon and publishing co., changing to retail are stili B-2.
it is only under the new IBC that this has become a change of occupancy which in tum is
requiring a 2 -hour separation between the office (B) and retail (M) We feel that this is causing
excessive hardship on Mr. Crozier.
In similar situations to this one, other jurisdictions have allowed tenants to change based on the
existing certificate of occupancy and code requirements under which that certificate was issued.
Additionally, IBC section 3496.1 allows the building official to permit a 'change' without all of the
requirements of the code being met, if the change is less hazardous than the existing. We do
not feel that two small retails spaces are of any greater risk than was existing in this structure for
the last 20 years, with previous retail tenants.

Mr Crozier has made substantial improvements to the structure already. Two-hour partitions
separate the tenants on the main floor. The floor -ceiling assemblies are not specifically 9ested'
assemblies, but they are Gose, and they exceed 1 -hour fire ratings. (We have enclosed a sketch
of the floor -ceiling assemblies.)
To provide 2 -hour rated construction on the walls, columns and beams which support a 2 -hour
floor / ceiling assembly would not be economically feasible. The exterior walls of the building
would need to be stripped and completely sheathed and resided.
it was suggested that per IBC 302.3.1 Nonseparated Uses could be used to eliminate the need
for fire separation. For this to be applied, the building would need to be 1 -hour rated. This also
would require the exterior walls to be stripped, sheathed and resided.
We are asking you to consider this situation. is this really a higher risk? A risk any different than
it has been for the last 20 years? Or can the 'existing certificate of occupancy' be considered to
continue allowing the original B-2 occupancies?
1 have been retained by Mr. Crazies to assist him with this situation, and we will work to resolve
all other concerns noted in your plan review such as exiting, accessibility, area calculations and
project information, and properly prepared and 'stamped' drawings.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter. 1 would be happy to meet with you to discuss
this, or to help answer any questions that you may have.
