However, the review cannot proceed at this time because the proposed design has fundamental issue that do not comply with the code. Please review the comments below and submit a revised design. Note that the comments are not a comprehensive review; additional comments may be issued pending submittal of the revised documents. Also, the first review comments issued by Jeff Heilman in the letter dated July 20, 2020, may need to be addressed again; an updated response letter to these comments should be submitted with the revised drawings. 1. The design has changed from a duplex to a triples. This is outside the scope of the IRC per Section R101.2. The design should comply with the requirements of the 2015 IBC. 2. The proposed building classification is now an R-2 per IBC Section 310.4. 3. The proposed basement units have general head clearances of 7'-1", and reduced clearances at beams of 6'- 6". This includes the common egress hallway. Minimum clearances of 7'-6" are required. 4. The building requires a sprinkler system IBC Section 903.2.8. 5. The emergency egress windows do not comply with IBC Section 1030.2. The sill height exceeds 44" per Section 1030.3. Window wells may be required per Section 1030.5. 6. The building includes structural modifications. Structural plans, section, details, and notes should be provided. Structural calculations should be provided. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1603.1, and 1604.1. Modifications appear to include, but are not limited to: a. Infill framing and reframing at the demolished stairway between the Main Floor and the Basement. b. Construction of the concrete stairway and retaining walls providing access to the basement level. c. Modifications to the exterior walls for new windows and doors. 7. The Main Floor Plan on Sheet 5 states that no changes have been made. However, changes will occur due to eliminating the staircase accessing the basement. The plans should be revised to show modifications and required construction (e.g., fire protection, new walls, etc.) in this area. See IBC Section 107.2.1.
