Swearinger,'Material Resource <br /> Administralion, Suite 2900, MS 51, 701 5th Avenue, Seatile,WA 98104. <br /> ( Dear Van, �iC�� <br /> ; ,1 <br /> Regarding the Area Separetion Wall(ASU� in the�5oi•?h Evergreen Plaza Building,we <br /> hpve delermined that this wall must be maintalned at its present localion in the building. <br /> This wall Is requfred per UniTorm Building Code(4994) requirements for a Type V building <br /> �iith 2 floors greater than a total of 16,000 SF. Here we have about 26,000 SF for the total <br /> bWilding. Therefore, Section 504.6.2 requires a 2-hour fire resisGve area separalion wall be <br /> i maintained from the foundatlon to the roof deck that divides the buifding into lwo sections <br /> ' wdh at least one section equal to or less lhan 16,000 SF. Prevlous plans Indicate the <br /> Idcation of this existing wall to be running East-West i;om the south lobby wall directiy east <br /> oh a straight line. Any penetrations made into this ASW must have 90 min, fire resistive <br /> frames and deors on closers or magnet(c hoid open devices. This wall wlll extend to the <br /> rbof deck and fan out 5 feet on either side for fire protection. <br /> Iqt the meeting wRh Connell Design Group,we trled to fadlitate a change In this wall <br /> location. However,the siHng of the building on[he propeity,ihe bullding type(�, and the <br /> � escisting location oT the ASW on the first level, precluded any possible compromise of the <br /> I locatlon of this ASW. In lhis case,there fs no way to mRfgate the Iocallon of the ASW. <br /> I I <br /> As soon as your modified plans are ready for resubmittal,your applfcation will be given <br /> p�iority and the plan review wlll commence. <br /> I <br /> � Sincerely,— <br /> �L <br /> Tony, I am trying to be very explici;regarding the fad that we cannot::hange the localion <br /> this wall for a number of reasons related to code and iire satety Issues so please feel <br /> f ee to add anything here that makes a shong statement to lhe union. 1 really apprecfate <br /> 32000 64M Ave.W.,SW�i 2F� MouMlake TMam,WA?800.'f�p25)870-070fi�FA%(425�7746219 <br /> IZ <br /> _ _ i """'" �._ ._.� "" _ <br /> � <br /> _. r-- .._.. —�i���- u-- --- <br /> �� <br /> TOTRL P.02 <br />
