See IBC Sections 602.1, 602.2, and 602.5. a. RESPONSE: The building type has been updated to reflect V-B on the Title Sheet, I000. 2. The north arrow on the plans points upward on the sheets. The Plan North direction should be oriented to point right. See IBC Section 107.2.1. a. RESPONSE: The North Arrow has been updated on all views to be oriented to point right. 3. Doors 101E, 131, and 138 should be reviewed to verify they provide the required minimum latch-side clearance. The minimum clearance should be specified at each location. See IBC Section 1101.2 and ICC A117.1-09 Figure 404.2.3.2. a. RESPONSE: Doors 101E, 131, and 138 have all been reviewed and verified that they do provide the minimum latch-side clearance. This has been shown on the plans indicated with new dimensions on each of the doors. 4. The project involves a Level 3 Alternation as defined by IEBC Section 604.1. The building exterior envelope should comply with the requirements for new construction per WSEC Section C402. Details for the components of the exterior envelop should be included. Note that portions of the building may not be feasible to reconfigure, including but not limited to slab insulation and thermal isolation per WSEC Section C402.2.6. Additional insulation may be provided complying with Section C402.1.5 in lieu of modifying these components. a. RESPONSE: This comment has been addressed with the addition of the furring wall detail and legend.

The furring shall continue above and below windows which are not full height gypsum board to wrap window frame at sill, jamb, and head. Our vertical fenestration area (not including opaque doors and opaque spandrel panels) equals 13.6 percent of the gross above-grade wall area, meeting the requirement not exceeding 30 percent. 5. Continuing with the previous comment, the project involves removing finishes and exposing the cavities for the exterior furred walls and ceiling/roof. Insulation should be specified in the exposed cavities as required by WSEC Sections C402 and C503.1. See IBC Section 101.4.7 and IEBC Section 907.1. a.
