Mr. Joe Duzan Gant Nychay Architecture Plan Check Number: 131809-002, First Review October 9, 2018 Architectural General: Work on existing structures shall comply with the IEBC. The IEBC provides three alternative methods for performing work: the Prescriptive Compliance Method (Section 301.1.1), the Work Area Method (301.1.2), and the Performance Compliance Method (301.1.3). The method selected for the project should be specified in the General Notes on Sheet A0.0. A statement should be provided clarifying the types of work that are included in the project (e.g., repairs, additions, change of occupancy, etc.) and referencing the appropriate IEBC sections. The comments provided herein presume the project will comply with the Work Area Method of Chapter 5. Based on a review of the construction drawings, the proposed project appears to include the following work: Level 3 Alternations (Chapter 9) and Change of Occupancy (Chapter 10). Additional and alternative types of work required for the project shall be identified by the designer -of -record. Additional comments may be pending. See IBC Section 301.1. 2. The building appears to be incorporating unheated and unventilated space between Grids E-F. The building space between Grids D-E similarly appears to have been unheated and unventilated space when originally constructed. Per the Snohomish County Assessor, the spaces were originally built in 1985 and 1961, respectively; the former is identified as a "lean- to garage/storage" area in the assessor's records. One or both of these areas is subject to an occupancy change and must satisfy the requirement of IEBC Chapter 10. If one or both of the areas is not subject to a change of occupancy, documentation substantiating that the areas has been previously permitted as an "M" occupancy shall be submitted for review. See additional comments below regarding the change of occupancy. Egress: Sheet A2.0 shows a new ramp with handrails. The following comments shall be addressed: a. The north end of the west handrail shall extend a minimum of 12 inches past the ramp - landing transition. See IBC Sections 1012.8 and 1014.6. b. The drawings shall specify a slip -resistant surface per IBC Section 1012.7.1. c. The ramp shall include edge protection along the east edge per IBC Section 1012.10. Accessibility: 4. The project involves Level 3 Alterations to the building per IEBC Chapter 9. Accessibility improvements per IEBC Section 705.2 shall be included in the project. Potentially inaccessible elements include, but are not limited to, the bathrooms, stairs, ramps, entryway doors, and parking. Where the building is made to be less than fully accessible per one of the exceptions, documentation substantiating the limited accessibility improvements shall be submitted for review.
