Frets: <br /> This is in response to an inquiry that you made concerning the <br /> theatre seating plan for the Doein9 Tour Center. The seating plan <br /> is what is sometimes referred to as a Ptodified Standard Plan. <br /> It incorporates features of both Standard and Continental seating <br /> geometry, as defined by the Uniform Building Code. <br /> In my opinion the plan is responsive to the intent of the UBC 1n <br /> terms of providing for the safety and the ease of ingress and <br /> egress of theatre patrons. <br /> For Standard seating, the UBC places no limit on the number of <br /> rows which may be served by an aisle, provided the aisle width <br /> is adequate. In the Boeing Tour Center, aisle widths meet or <br /> exceed both Continental and Standard code requirements for width. <br /> For Standard seating, there is a limit of 6 intervening seats to <br /> an aisle. This limit is set so that relatively few people will <br /> have to rise in their seats when a latecomer enters the row. <br /> In the Boeing Tour Center plan, we have followed the intent and <br /> the provisions of the Continental code, by increasing the number <br /> of seats in the row, but at the same time increasin9 the back- <br /> to-back spacing of the rows. This allows enou9h knee room so that <br /> no one has to rise in his seat to allow a latecomer to enter the row. <br /> This enhances the ease of entering and leaving rows, while <br /> maintaining all other provisions of the Standard seating code. <br /> , <br /> Sin ely � j� <br /> .,�6'��"� / G� <br /> Peder H.
