• • Mr. Matt Schreifels 2812 Architecture Plan Check Number: B2208-005, Second Building Review March 1, 2023 Architectural General: 1. The construction type for the building in the"Code Information"section on Sheet A1.0 has been revised to"V.B3". It is presumed that"V-B"is intended. The construction type should be revised for clarity. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 602.1. Fire Protection: 2. The response states that the building will include a fire sprinkler system. The"Deferrals" section on Sheet A1.0 should be revised to specify fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems. See IFC Sections 903.4 and 903.2.1.2. Egress: 3. The original comment addressed the egress systems, including the existing egress for the Main Floor. The following comments should be addressed: a. The new stairway is required to have a minimum clear width of 44 inches per IBC Section 1011.2. The provided width does not comply. Exception 1 does not apply as the occupant load served by the stairway from the Lower Floor exceeds 50. See the code commentary for additional discussion and the definition of"occupant load"in IBC Section 202. b. Continuing with the previous comments, modifications to the stair width will impact the required aisle clearances addressed in other comments. c. The rear corridor in the Lower Floor Plan on Sheet A2.2 should specify a minimum width of 44 inches per IBC Table 1020.2. d. The Kitchen Door leading to the Main Level rear corridor swings into the corridor and obstructs the width. The door swing should be reversed. Note that reversing the swing will have conflicts with accessibility requirements per ICC A117.1-09 Figure 404.2.3.2. See IBC Sections 1005.7, 1020.3, and 1101.2. e. This comment is provided for the designer's consideration. The corridor leading to the rear exit stairway is less than the minimum required width of 44 inches for new construction per IBC Table 1020.2. While this is an existing condition, the occupant load using the exit route may increase due to the proposed modifications. 4. The main dining area at Lower Floor should be provided with maximum occupant load sign per IBC Section 1004.9. The location of the signs should be specified in the floor plans. 5. The following comments should be addressed for the exit signs: a. The Main Floor signs at the front exit and the rear corridor should be relocated for visibility. b. An additional sign should be provided at the Lower Floor at the entrance to the rear corridor from the Seating Area. c. Exit signs should be consistently shown in the Occupancy Plans on Sheet A2.0 with the Floor Plans on Sheet A2.2.
