Your application has been received and a permit set up. However,the submitted documents are not sufficient for us to perform a complete review at this time. Revised construction-level documents need to be submitted for review. Preliminary comments are provided below to assist in revising the drawings, but these are not intended to provide a comprehensive review. Depending on your experience with the model codes and preparing documents, we recommend consulting with a design professional to assist you. 1. The proposed project involves constructing new walls and modifying existing walls. The types of walls are not clearly delineated. In addition, it appears that some existing walls are identified as new. The drawings should be provided with a legend, and the walls reviewed to correctly show their existing or new status. 2. Continuing with the previous comment,the plans do not appear to correctly show the existing condition. A previous permit was obtained for this space under Permit Number B0208-022 that appears to show different wall conditions, most notably a wall that completely separates the space from the bathrooms and storage areas. An existing floor plan should be provided separate from the proposed wall layout on Sheet 3 to document the existing condition prior to the proposed work. The existing plan should also be used to designate the existing walls that are proposed for demolition. 3. The occupancy load for the modified space(s) should be determined using IBC Section 1004 considering the actual uses of the space. The dance Studio rooms 1 and 2 may consider a load factor of 50 sf/person. 4. The required restroom facilities should be calculated per IBC Section 2902. In order to satisfy accessible restroom requirements discussed in the following comments (ie., providing at least one accessible restroom),the restrooms should be shown to comply with IBC Section 2902.2.2; Item #2 requiring urinals may be omitted for this project. 5. The proposed project constitutes at least a Level 2 Alternation per IEBC Section 603; this and other types of work (e.g, Level 3 Alternation, etc.) should be determined by the designer and stated in the drawings. 6. Continuing with the previous comment, Level 2 alterations require accessibility improvements per IEBC Sections 305.7. Documentation should be submitted indicating how this section has been satisfied. The drawings should be modified to show the accessibility improvement. 7. Restroom 2 on Sheet 3 (note:the restroom lables on Sheet 3 and the partial plans on Sheet 2 appear to be switched) has been modified to move the sink into the recessed corner of the room. Neither Restroom 1 or 2 are currently completely accessible, and this proposed modification is less accessible than the existing condition. The proposed project should not make the accessible conditions worse. Per telephone conversation with Nancy Barisof, Restroom 1 may be modified to make it completely accessible. It is noted that the toilet is too far from the wall in Restroom 1 for the grab bar requirements, but the wall may be moved closer to the toilet to address this issue. 1/a
