� ' ( � � An exception to Section 5053 states that twu buildings on the same property may be considered as one if they are of the same type of construction, and meet allowable az�a. � This would change the type of construction of the proposed carport to Type III 1-HR. I) The requirements of Type III 1-HR construction are generally as follows: a) Noncombustible exterior walls (or structural frame) of minimum two-hour conswction. This could be handled in two different ways: i) Convert the structural frame to a noncombustible material, and wrap the steel columns and beams supporting the roof with a listed two-hour fire-resistive assembly, or ii) Use fire-retardant treated wood posts and beams, also with the above mentioned two-hour fire-resistive wrap. b) A wood-framed roof is allowable in either case. As an alternate to the above requirements, we will accept a totally non-combustible structure (to include the roo� with no additional fi�e-resistive construction required. 2) An occupancy sepazation must also be completed between the old building and the new carport. To satisfy this requirement,the following requirements must be met: a) The existing door to the elevator room must be verified to be a listed one-hour fire-resistive assembly. b) All openings in the wall in line with the new canopy and below must be filled in or fire-sealed. 3) The structural drawings of the original submittal have not been reviewed due to nonstructural changes required. Please prepare a response letter showing where each item in this correction letter is addressed on the plan set. Upon resubmission of the drawings, your application will be given priority and plan review will recommence. All required submittals shall be of sufficient detail and contain suff cient information to ensure that the proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with all adopted codes.
