Drew Martin From: Drew Martin Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2018 9:34 AM To: 'David McVey' Subject: City of Everett Public Works: 1722 W Marine View Drive (B1809-006) David, This email recaps yesterday's conversation with George in your office. All comments have been addressed except Architectural Comment#1. Comment#1 stated that accessibility improvements are required per IEBC Section 705.2, and referenced the employee bathroom as a potential part of the building that may be upgraded to satisfy this requirement. The response stated that the employee restroom should not be considered part of the primary function area because it serves the kitchen area only,which is not part of the project(flooring replacement aside). The employee restroom is considered part of the primary function area (i.e., dining area) because this area is occupied by the restaurant employees. It creates a situation where non-able bodied employees serving the same area as able- bodied employees do not have the same access to the same facilities. That said, modifications to this restroom may not be required,or not completely required, if the requirements of Section 705.2 can be satisfied otherwise. The following four options are available: 1. Provide additional documentation justifying that the requirement does not apply to this restroom. 2. Provide documentation demonstrating that the 20%threshold (Exception 1) has been satisfied. This could include minor modifications to the employee restroom (e.g.,adding grab bars, etc.) or other improvements to the building that address accessibility definiences. For the calculation of non-accessiblity alteration costs, the tiling, carpeting, cabinetry, etc. (i.e., any portion of the work that does not require a permit per IBC Section 105.2 Building Item 7) may be omitted. Work identified as improving accessibility should be improving a pre-existing deficient condition. 3. Modify the employ restroom in part or in whole to satisfy the 20%threshold if it cannot be otherwise satisfied. 4. Demolish the employ restroom. (Note—I'd like to verify this option with our building official if it is the preferred solution). Please contact me if you have questions. 4677 CELEBRATING Drew Martin, P.E.,S.E. 125.
