Project Name May 1, 2023 Page 2 4. Comment: The following comments should be addressed for the handrails per IBC section 1014: a. The Code Plans on sheet A0.2 do not appear to show the handrails correctly or consistently with the plans on sheets A2.1 and A2.2. Response: See revised sheets A0.2,A2.1 &A2.2., stair tread is flush with floor system. b. Extensions should be shown at the top of the southwest stairway on sheet A2.2. Response: See revised sheet A2.2., stair tread is flush with floor system. c. The bottom extension in section 2/A4.3 should be sloped. Response: Noted, See revised section 2/A4.3. d. The handrails height in section 2/A4.4 should be measured from the stair nosing, not the midpoint of the stair. Note that this dimension is correctly shown in detail 5/A6.2; it is recommended that the dimension on the section be deleted. Response: Noted, See revised section 1/A4.3, deleted dimension, e. detail 9/A6.2 should show the bottom extension as sloped and specify a minimum length of one stair tread past the bottom nosing. Response: Noted, See revised detail 6/A6.2. f. A detail for the continuous handrail condition wrapping around center walls at landings should be included in the drawings. Response: See revised sheets A0.2,A2.1 &A2.2. 5. Comment: The southwest exterior stairway in Elevation 2/A4.2 should specify a maximum landing height above the adjacent grade not to exceed 30 inches.
