Mr. David McVey McVey Oakley Design Studio Plan Check Number: B1809-006, First Review October 5, 2018 Architectural 1. The project involves Level 2 Alterations to the building per IEBC Chapter 8. Accessibility improvements per IEBC Section 705.2 shall be included in the project. Potentially inaccessible elements include, but are not limited to, the Vestibule and Restroom #122. Where the building is made to be less than fully-accessible per one of the exceptions, documentation substantiating the limited accessibility improvements shall be submitted for review. See IEBC Section 806.1. McVey Oakley Design Studio (MODS)response: Section 705.2 of the IEBC refers to alterations affecting an area containing a primary function. This includes toilet facilities serving the area of primary function. Restroom 122 is an employee restroom serving the kitchen, office, and breakroom/lockers. Because the primary function of the restaurant is the dining areas and not the staff kitchen, the employee restroom 122 is not serving the area of primary function, therefore we believe it is not subject to section 705.2. Per revised drawing A 3.1, restroom 122, as well as the kitchen office and employee areas are not part of the alteration and are not having any work done to them as part of the interior renovations. The other kitchen areas will be receiving new tile floors only. Even if it is determined that the kitchen is an area of primary function, because the kitchen, itself, is not being altered(other than new tile), employee restroom 122 is not subject to section 705.2, as part of this alteration. Please note that per exception 1 in section 705.2, the costs to provide accessibility alterations for Vestibule 101 and any other areas serving or along the accessible route to the primary function are not required to exceed 20% of the costs of the alterations affecting the area of primary function (i.e. the dining area). That being said, per the revised drawings, Vestibule 101 will be modified to comply with accessibility requirements. Existing Restrooms 105 and 106 have been updated on the plan drawings to show as-built conditions. (The previous plans relied on erroneous old drawing information). 2. Sheet A3.1 shows new exterior concrete ramps and stairs. The overall dimensions of the egress systems shall be specified, including but not limited to: plan dimensions, stair rise and run, landing length, slope, and elevation heights of the existing and new surfaces. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1011, and 1012. MODS response: See Sheet A 8.1. 3. Continuing with the previous comment, new guards and railings are required for the new egress systems. Details showing the required construction of the guards and railings shall provided in the construction drawings. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1014, and 1015. MODS response: See Sheet A 8.1.
