PUBLIC WORK. October 2, 2017 Brittany Brown Freiheit & Ho Architects 5209 Lake Washington Blvd NE, STE 200 Kirkland, WA 98033 brittanybrown@fhoarch.com Owner: Winston Lessley Job Address: 12728 19th Ave SE Plan Check No: B1709-044 RE: Corrections Letter Dear Ms. Brown, In response to the application for a building permit, the plans have been examined and you are advised that revisions may be necessary before a permit can be issued. Please review and respond to the comments below. In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide the Building Division with two new sets of revised construction documents reflecting the corrections requested. Please include a response letter which indicates how the corrections were resolved. General 1. The proposed tenant space has access to only one exit from the building. Regardless of how many exit access doors serve the space, if the doors all egress through to one point, common path of travel is calculated to the exterior Exit. As the maximum common path is 100' per Table 1006.2.1, the proposal of 111 feet is not in compliance. a. Based on my quick permit history research, it appears that the tenant improvement for the adjacent Mayemura Optical in 2016 (in effect) cut off the access to the only other exit on the main floor to any other tenant. All codes cited refer to the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), the 2015 International Fire Code (IFC), the 2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC), and the 2015 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC), as amended by the State of Washington and adopted by the City of Everett. The current IBC referenced standard for accessible design is the 2009 "Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities" (ICC/ANSI A117.1). Federal ADA regulations and standards may be more restrictive. These comments address building issues only. Additional revisions or additions may be required by other departments (such as Utilities, Traffic, Planning or Fire). 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. Sincerely, Tony Lee Building Official
