The <br /> following are our responses to your comments, item by item. <br /> 1. The project includes construction of a new platform. Framing plans and details for the platform <br /> construction should be included in the drawings. <br /> An additional pony wall has been added to support the platform joists, see detail 3D/A9.1. The <br /> framing of the pony walls supporting the platform joists has been increased in size from 2X4 to <br /> 2X6. A framing plan for the platform has been created, see 4A/A2.4. <br /> 2. It appears that the building is designated as Type III construction. This type of construction has <br /> exterior walls that are composed of noncombustible materials. Fire retardant-treated wood framing <br /> and sheathing complying with IBC Section 2302.2 are permitted within exterior wall assemblies for <br /> Type III construction It appears that fire retardant-treated wood has not been specified on sheet <br /> A9.1 at the exterior wall infill detail 3A. The drawings should be revised to show that required fire <br /> retardant-treated wood or noncombustible infill material. <br /> The framing members for the exterior infill walls has been changed to steel studs, the insulation has <br /> been changed to "Rock Wool" insulation, and the sheathing has been changed from plywood to <br /> gyp. sheathing. All three of the material changes have been to noncombustible materials. See detail <br /> 3A/A9.1 for clarification. <br /> 3. It appears that a door opens onto the proposed ramp. Projections into the required ramp width <br /> are prohibited per IBC Section 1012.53. Please revise doorway or ramp location so as not to have a <br /> projection onto the ramp. <br /> The door has been moved so as not to project into the proposed ramp. See 1A/A2.1 (door location <br /> moved). See detail 4D/A9.1 (door removed). See interior elevation 4A/A10.1 (door removed). <br /> 112 <br /> BPH Architects 19624A 76th Ave. W Lynnwood, WA 98036 (425) 774-4701 www.bpharch.corn <br />
