Project: Remodel Buildings F & H
th
Project Address: 23200 100 Ave W
During re-review of the 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 Theresa Umbaugh, Permit Coordinator.
1.Previous item 1: Note the Type of Construction on the coversheet of the plans.
2.Previous item 3 (for reference, room numbering was changed on the resubmitted plans):
a.The distance between required exit doors at Library H23 must be measured in a straight line
from door jamb to door jamb (IBC 1014.2.1). Sheet G002 shows the measurement of actual
travel distance which is incorrect. It appears it will not meet the minimum required
dimension. A new second exit door must be provided.
b.See item 3 below regarding staff lounge area (H13)
c.The occupant load modifications for classrooms are subject to approval by the Building
Official with the proposed Alternate Design.
3.Previous item 5: We disagree with the occupant load factor of 100 used for the staff lounge. The
appropriate factor would be 15 as was previously on the plans. 2 exits are required, unless you plan to
justify in your alternate design for occupant load modifications.
4.Previous item 7: The occupant load modifications for classrooms are subject to approval by the
Building Official with the proposed Alternate Design.
5.Previous item 8: Detail and hardware information for the proposed egress gates must be provided for
review at this time since it is a life-safety item.
6.Previous item 9: This item is still outstanding. It is the responsibility of the Architect of Record to
show all existing and proposed fire and life-safety information on the plans. As stated previously, these
building were built while under County jurisdiction and the City has no plans. The City cannot do a
complete review of the proposed project without this information.
7.Previous item 10: Still outstanding see item 6 above.
8.Previous item 14: See Building Official letter dated 5/10/07
9.Previous item 15: See Building Official letter dated 5/10/07
10.Previous item 20: On the coversheet list the exterior fences/exit gates as a separate permit.
11.The Alternate Design request submitted must specifically state which rooms the occupant load
modification is being requested for. Use room numbers and
uses of space.
12.Clearly show on Sheet G002 which rooms/occupant loads are part of the request for Alternate Design
for the occupant load modification.
13.Alternate Design request must be stamped/signed by Architect of Record, Gerald Reifert.
