• The basement in divided into two sectiuns. Fire Dept. comments was to provide automatic sprinkier protectiun to the west basement o• provide the requaired openings; or remove all combustible storage. The Owner has removed all combustible storage. • The East basemeni is approximately 1800 sq. ft., with two complying exits. It was noted that there are several options to considered in negotiating with tF�e Fire Dept.: • If the space is reduced to 1500 sq. ft., sprinklers will not be required. • Fire Department may require openings into this space for access via light-wells. • Contact Frank Marshall of the Fire Department for negotiation. 4. Egress: • Since the rough opening of rnost of the exit doors are 5'-0", the intent is to propose a single operable 3'-0" door with a stationary leaf for the balance. • Will need to caiculate total sq. ft. of the space to find the required linear feet of egress. i, • O�e half of the capacity will need to be able to exit out the mai� entry doors (lower floor onlyl. • Side exits on each side wiil need to provide egress for 1/3 of the occupant load, which will require an opening of approx. 2.66' (verify). In such case a single operable leaf of 3'-0" will meet the requirement. • Exit doors at the balcony: Do not p�t panic hardware on stationary leaf, center exit light over operable door. 5. Smoke vents on roof above stage: May need to provide new hatch. 6. Roll-up door at the stage: • There are (2) existing roll-up doors need to be replaced or • New doors need to have rated assemblies and self-closers for the 1-hr separation between audience seating and stage. 7. Accessibility: • Question was posed as to whether the seating count/ADA seating ratio would consider the entire theatre or just the lower floor. • In an existing condition such as this, lower floor count will be sufficient. � • Acc�?rdinc� to the code requirement of 300 to 500 seating, there needs to be (6) AGA seating provided. • Code requirement to disperse ADA seating should be exempt due to prohibitive existing conditions. This item should be included in a letter addressing all requested exemptions. � • Question was aosed as to whether the orchestra pit and stage wili need to be accessible ✓ia ramps. • The orch��stra pit will requlre a guardrail.
