3. The West wall of the interior couR should be shown as having two-hour fire- <br /> resistance as for a bearing wall. <br /> 4, The exterior wall of the eastem side of the court should be shown as twahour rated, <br /> with 3/4 hour opening protecdon and parapets (where applicable). Addi6onally, the <br /> wall should continue down to the plinth level where wall segments are shown. These <br /> wall segments aze re,�uired to be a condnuous wall with opening protection provided. <br /> Note that the ezterior wall is currendy called out ro be the wall dividing the dwelling <br /> units from the corridor but should be revised to address the court wall. <br /> Garden Deck Note that only new code sections are shown if nor already mentioned <br /> above. ' <br /> 1. The gazden deck is most closely defined as a court per Secdon 204. <br /> 2. Per the exception to S:ction 503.3, the required opening nrotection may be omitted <br /> (as shown on the plans). <br /> 3. Exterior wall protection is required, the assumed property line(between units) should <br /> be shown. Fire resistive consWction will be required to be maintained for the <br /> supporting atructurc of the exterior walls. <br /> Type/FR Construction <br /> 1. Any mason.ry or concrete wall which supports more than 200 pounds per lineal foot <br /> supeiimposed load, or any such wall supporting its own weight for more than one <br /> story is defined as a bearing wall per UBC Section 224. Eased on that definition, the <br /> following comments apply: <br /> a). The westem exterior wa11 supports its own weight for moro than one story and <br /> should therefore be shown as a minimum of 2 hour fire-resistive consuvction. <br /> U). The eastern exterior wall should be sho�•vn not to support more than 200 pounds <br /> per lineal foot of superimposed load. <br /> Horizontal Exits <br /> A horizontal exit is defined as an exit from one building into another building per Secdo�. <br /> 1001.2. Area sepazation walls are used in this building to allow, in effect, twice the area <br /> that would otherwise be pertnitted ba.eed on the type of conswction chosen. Each porcion <br /> of a building sepazated by one or more area sapazation walls which complies with Secaon <br /> 504.6 may he considered sepazate buildings as stated in Section 504.6.1. Two buildings <br /> have therefore been created side-by-side oi�the same property. <br /> 5 <br />
