RE: Permit Application #2006-1386
Project: Greenberg Mixed Use -- Mechanical
Project Address: 155 3rd Ave South
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 resubmit to Marie Harrison, Permit Coordinator.
Responses are in bold italics
1. Plans appear to beat 3/32 scale not 1/8" scale. Please revise. Please enlarge plans to minimum l lx17
plan size as the plans are very difficult to read. Plans must also be to scale. Note actual scale on the
plans.
2. Not received — copy attached far your convenience. Complete attached new detailed scope of work for
the mechanical application.
3. Not received —copy attached for your convenience. Complete attached new plumbing fixture schedule
for gas outlets.
4. Most issues still not addressed. On the mechanical plans clearly show the location and type of
mechanical units serving each area of the building -- not provided for all units. On the architectural
plans, a boiler is shown at the lower floor -- still shown, not addressed. Will this still be part of the
mechanical system for the building? — not addressed. The architectural and structural plans show
rooftop units will be used. If rooftop units will still be used, include roof plan showing units -- not
provided, show how ductwork is run throughout the building and how fire separations are maintained
(shafts, lined joistbays, soffits, fire/smoke dampers, etc.) —plans do not show how fire separations will
be maintained. Also show units on the elevation views and show that they will not exceed the
maximum allowed height for the building — not shown. If there will be mechanical units outside of the
building on the ground level, provide a site plan showing location, height, screening, and distance to
property lines and building, and how ductwork will be run through the building as noted above — not
addressed.
5. Provide garage mechanical plan showing garage exhaust fan and cfm, boiler, elevator equipment room
ventilation, etc. — notprovided
6. Some exhaust fans and/or cfm notations are missing in the dwelling units. They are required in each
bathroom, laundry room and kitchen. — still missing from south unit powder room.
7. ok
8. Note on the plans which fans are designated as whole house exhaust fans. Worksheets submitted show
laundry room is the designated whole house fan, but is not noted on the plans.
9. For exhaust fans, show how ducts will be run to the exterior of the building — caution on north and east
sides of the building due to location to the property line, and caution on roof penetrations due to .the
parapet exception that was used during the design of the building (dimension distance from exhaust fans
to the exterior wall of the building). -- note provided for the upper floor that all exhaust fans will be
through the roof, butpenetrations for parapet exception not addressed — exhaust fans need to the
shown on the roofplan. Also exhaust fan runs were not shown for the lower and first floors.
10. Provide manufacturer's information for all heating and air conditioning equipment — all that has been
submitted at-this time is for the heat pump and fan coil. Highlight applicable information to this
mechanical system in the manufacturer specs. Applicable information not highlighted, boiler
information not provided, etc.
11. Show how ventilation is being provided to the hallway and lobby areas. — South stair/lobby as well as
elevator shaft are I-hour fire rated. Duct shown through elevator will obstruct use of elevator shaft.
Penetration of 1-hour walls required combination fire/smoke dampers per IBC 716. Ducts are also
shown going through the 1-hour shaft near the north stair without fire/smoke dampers. It is also not
clear how this will work is roof top equipment will be used A redesign is required and plans must
clearly show all work. You may be able to use natural ventilation (openable area must be a minimum
of 4% of the floor area) for the lobby area (IBC 1203.4).
12. Provide outdoor air calculations per VFAQ 304 for the non-residential areas. -- not provided.
