We have completed the first review of the building plans for this project. This email will serve as the review letter. The comments below should be addressed. Two revised full-sized hard-copies of the drawings should be submitted for review. An itemized response letter stating how each comment has been addressed should be included with the drawing. Additional revised documentation, including but not limited structural calculations and other supporting documentation, should be submitted as required. Comments 1. Sheet G0.00 states the occupancy as A-2 and B. Note that the occupant load does not appear to exceed 50 and may be considered as a B occupancy per IBC Section 303.1.2. The occupancy should be confirm and the occupant load specified in the drawings. Note that if the occupancy is A-2, additional requirements apply including but not limited to two exits, panic hardware, exit signs, and interior and exterior egress lighting. See also IEBC Chapter 10. 2. The proposed project includes a large storage area. The following comments should be addressed: a. Sheet G0.00 should state S-1 in the occupancies. b. The building is understood to be a B-occupancy. The proposed use would change the occupancy to include S-1. This is an occupancy change per IEBC Chapter 10. Per IEBC Section 1011.6.1,this is a higher risk occupancy are requiring modifications to the building for fire protection. Details for the exterior walls should be submitted for review. Alternatively, documentation substantiating that the existing building has been previously permitted as an S-1 occupancy should be submitted for review. 3. Sheet G0.00 lists the addition of a fire alarm system. It is unclear if this is a voluntary or mandatory. See comments above and clarify if this is related to one of the indicated occupancy changes. 4. The door between the dining area and the kitchen does not comply with the requirements for accessible doorways per ICC A117.1-09 Figure 404.2.3.2 and should be revised. Note that if a latch and closer are provided, the door requires side clearances for both directions. See IBC Section 1101.2. 5. The rest room should specify an exhaust fan. Please contact me if you have questions. Thank you. — Drew Martin, P.E.,S.E.
