r PUBLIC WORKS � P April 30, 2014 Mr. Jesse Wolfe 2812 Architecture 2812 Colby Ave Everett, WA 98208 RE: Correction Letter Project: Warehouse/Office Mezzanine Addition and Tenant Improvement Job Address: 3203 15th St Plan Review: BW14Q'5 009 Dear Mr. Wolfe, In response to the application for a construction permit, the plans have been examined and revisions may be necessary so that a permit can be issued. All required submittals must be of sufficient detail and information to ensure that the proposed structure will be constructed in compliance with all adopted codes. Please submit two sets of revised plans and details with a response letter to each item in this letter, indicating how it is resolved on the plan set. General 1. Deferred mechanical and electrical permits will be required for the new work, or work that was not previously under permit. Structural 1. Please include the floor loading assumptions in the structural calculations on the architectural plans. 2. Sketch 'A', referenced in the structural engineering letter, was not included on the drawings. However, it would be helpful to include that on the set, if it is feasible to do so. Occupancy 1. Please include the mezzanine and first floor occupant load calculations in the code analysis. 2. The occupant load of the mezzanine exceeds the amount required for openness, per IBC section 505.2.3. Openness is in the codes for mezzanines, because it was felt that the smell and sound of fire would assist egress in response to a fire on the floor below. a. Since an automatic detection system is required based on the mezzanine addition (see Construction item 2 below), additional emergency notifications at the mezzanine level, such as exit access exit signage, per IBC 1011.1, and emergency lighting per IBC 1006.1, could be considered an alternative design to provide fire safety in lieu of openness, per IBC section 104.11. Egress 1. Common path of travel (to the point of having two exit options) should be shown on the drawings with a maximum exit access travel distance of 75 feet, per IBC table 1014.3. The current distance to a location with two separate and distinct paths to exit the building exceeds 75 feet. J � 3 ;
