These other remaining items include the following: A. Soils Report - As referenced on Dale Kaup's foundation plans, please email a digital copy of HP-Kumar's soils report prepared on 3 /26/ L9. B. Application Checklist - The Building Application form you submitted does not include the Application Checklist. I have attached a copy of the Application Checklist (4 pages) and this needs to be signed and returned to our office. You can scan and return via email once this has been signed/dated by Jeremy. C. Septic Svstem Application - The addition of restrooms in the new building requires completion of a Septic System permit, because alteration and/or enlargement of the existing O.W.T.S. will be necessary. Please contact Brooke or Lindsay at our front desk for the proper form and related fees. You will be able to submit a check for this when you come to pick-up the building permit, but it will be best if you can fill out the application form before you come into the office. please provide us with this additional information at your earliest opportunity so that we can finalize our review and approvals once we receive updated drawings from Brad Jordan.

Adjacent combus- tible members entering into a concrete or masonry fire wall from opposite sides shall not have less than a ^inch (L02 mm¡ aistance between embedded ends. Where combustible members frame into hollow walls or walls of hollow units, hollow spaces shall be solidly filled for the full thickness of the wailãnd for a distance not less than 4 inches (102 mm) above, below and between the structural members, with non- combustible materials app rov e d for fireblocking. * ln order to retain the fire-resistanÇe capab¡lity of .the- wall where combustible members will frame ínto it, hollow walls or walls of hollow units must be solidly filled for the thickness of the wall and for a distance of not less than 4 inches (102 mm) above, below and between the structural members. Consistent with the construction of the walls, the fireblocking materials are to be noncombustible and approved for fireblock- ing in accordance with Section 717.2- lf combustible mémbers enter both sides of a fire wall, there must be at least 4 inches (102 mm) of masonry between the embedded ends. ln order to maintain structural integrity where wood beams or joists are supported in and on masonry fire walls, the joists and beams should be shaped so that they can rotate out of the pocket without exerting undue force on the wall. 706.8 Openings. Each opening through a fire wall shall be protected in accordance with Section 716-5 and shall not èxceed 156 square feet (15 m2;. The aggîegate width of open- ings at any floor level shall not exceed 25 percent of the Iength of the wall. Exceptions: 1. Openings are not permitted in party walls con- structed in accordance with Section 706.1.L 2. Openings shall not be limited to 156 square feet (15 m'¡ where both buildings are equipped throughout with an øutomatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with Section 903.3.1'.1. * ln order to maintain the integrity of the fire wall, the maximum area and percent of openings in the wall are restr¡cted. When provided, the openings must be properly protected so that the fire-resistance rating of the wall is maintained. This section prescribes the maximum area and the percent of openings that may be permitted in a fire wall at any one floor level. The provisions must be used in concert with Section 706.1.1, which limits openings for party walls. Fire wall openings have restrictive limitations in their size and total area because of the critical func- tion that a fire wall serves. To maintain the required fire performance of the fire wall, each opening through a fire wall is restricted in area to 156 square feet (i 1 m2) and the aggregate width of all openings at any one floor level may not constitute more than 25 percent of the length of the wall. The 156-square-foot (tt m'¡ limitation provides a reasonable size through which industrial machinery may pass and corre- sponds with the maximum area limitations of many tested fire doors. Recognizing the effectiveness of automatic sprin- klers, the 156-square-foot (11 m2) opening limitation does not apply where the buildings on both sides of the fire wall are fully sprinklered (see Exception 2); however, the aggregate width of all openings in a fire wall at any one floor level is still limited to 25 percent of the length of the wall. 706.9 Penetrationi. Penetrations of fire walls shall "omptywith Section 714. {.ln order to maíntain the integrity of the required fire- resistance rating, penetrations through the fire wall must be properly protected. Acceptable protection methods for various penetrations of fire walls are identified in Sections 714.2 and 714.3. 706.10 Joints. Joints made in or between fire walls sball comply with Section 715. {. Joints, such as expansion or seismic, are another form of openings in fíre walls and, therefore, must be consídered with regard to maintaining the fire-resis- tance ratings of fire walls. This section requires all joints that are located in fire walls to be protected by a joint system with a fire-resistance rating and to com- ply with the requirements of Section 715. 706.11. Ducts and air transfer openings. Ducts and air transfer openings shall not penetratefire walls. Exception: Penetrations by ducts and air transfer openings of fire walls that are not on a lot line shall be allowed pro- vided the penetrations comply with Section 717. The size and aggregate width of all openings shall not exceed the limitations of Section 706.8. *The general provisions of this section mirror those of Section 706.1.1 for party walls. The exception per- mits duct and transfer openings for fire walls not located on a lot line, provided the maximum aggre- gate area provisions of Section 706.8 are met and that the openings are protected in accordance with Section 717. SECTION 707 FIRE BARRIERS 707.L General. Fire barriers installed as required elsewhere in this code or the International Fíre Code shall comply with this section. * The provisions of this section apply to assemblies that are required to have a fire-resistance rating and are required to be constructed as "fire barriers." As addressed in Section 707.3, fire barriers are used for separating exits, incidental use areas, shafts, hazard' ous materials control areas and fire areas. Fire barri- ers provide a higher degree of protection than fire partitions (see Section 708), but lack the inherent 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE@COMMENTARY 7-39 FIRE AND SMOKE PROTECTION FEATURES structural integrity of fire walls. Fire barriers limit the number of operiings. Fire barrier wall assemblies must be continuous from the top of a fíre-resistance- rated floor/ceiling asscmbly to the bottom of the floor or roof slab/deck above. Unlike fire partitions, addressed in Section 708, there are no circum- stances under which a fire barrier wall is permitted to terminate at a ceiling. Fire barriers are used for a variety of purposes, such as mixed occupancies, shafts, exit access stair- ways and exit and floor opening enclosures. Fire bar- riers also include interior walls that serve to subdivide a space by separating one fire area from an adjacent fire area and for separating incidental use areas (see Section 509.4.1). Fire-resistance-rated assemblies used to separate exit access corridors in many appli- cations as well as tenant, dwelling unit and guest- room separations are fire partitions (see Section 708). This section provides minimum requirements for the fire-resistance rati ng, conti nuity, combusti bil ity and protection of openings and penetrations in orcler to help maintain the reliability of the fire separation assembly. As with any fire-resistance-rated assem- bly, consideration must be given to the'openings and penetrations that are provided within the assembly' The intent is to maintain the fire-resistance rating of the assembly. These sections recognize that firc spread beyond a fire-resistance-rated compartment is often attributed to the protection given to any open- ing or penetration in the fire barrier, or the lack thereof. Since the fire barrier is intended to provide'a reli- able subdivision of areas, the construction that struc- turally supports the assembly is required to provide, at least the same hourly fire-resistance rating as the fire barrier. This is applicable regardless of the type of construction of the building. Structural stability is reg- ulated by Section 707.5. lt7.ZD/:atenals, Fire barriers shall be of materials permitted by the building type of construction. *The types of materials used in fire barriers are to be consistent with Sections 602 through 602.5 for the type of construction classification of the building' Ïhe fire-resistance ratings of fire barriers used to separate mixed occupancies are determined in accordance with Section 508.4 (see commentary, Section 508'4). Fire barriers are permittcd to be of combustjble mate- rials in Type lll, lV and V construction and are required to be of noncombustible materials in Type I and ll construction. 707.3 Fire-rcsistance rating" The fire-resistance rating of fi.re barriers shall comply with this section. .i'l he elements that are identlfled in this seutiurr tllust be constructed as required for fire barriers and must be fire-resistance rated as required by the code sec- tions referenced in this section. 707.3.1 Slraft enclosures. The fire-resistance rating of the fire barríer separating building aleas from a shaft shall com- ply with Section 713.4. *See Section T'13.4 'for the fire-resistartce tating for shaft enclosures. 707.3,2Interior exit stairway and ramp construction. The fire-resistance rating of the fire barrier separating building areas from an interior exit stairway or ramp shall comply with Section 1023.1. * See Section 1023.1 for the fire-resistance rating of the fire barrier separating building areas from interior exit stainruays and ramps (vertical exit enclosures). 707.3.3 Enclosures for exit âccess stairways. The fire-resis- tance rating of the iire barrier separating building areas from an exit access stairway or ramp shall comply with Section '713.4. d. See Sections 1Q23 for the enclosure requirements for exit access stairuvays and ramps. Unlike exit stairway enclosures, there are numerous exceptions to the enclosure requirements in Section 1023. 707.3.4 Exit passageway. The fire-resistance rating of the fire barrier separating building areas from an exit passage- way shall comply with Section 1024.3. * See Section 1024.3 for the fire-resistance rating for fire barriers forming exit passageways. Exit passage- way enclosures may be fire barriers complying with this section or horizontal assemblies complying with Section 711. 7{J7.'3"5 Ïtrorizontal exit. The fire-resístancc rating of thc scparatiou between building areas connccted by a horizontal exit shall comply with Section 1026.1. * See Section 1026.1 for the fire-resistance rating of the fire barriers forming horizontal exits' Horizontal exits may be formed by fire walls meeting Section 706, fire barriers complying with this section or hori- zontal assemblies complying with Sections 1026'2 and711. 707 "3.6 Atriums. The. fire-re'si,\tãnce' rating of the fire bar- rier separating atriums shall comply with Section 404.6. .þ See Section 404.6 for the fire-resistance rating of the fire barrier walls separating the atrium area from other building use areas. Horizontal assemblies meeting Section 711 can also separate the atrium area. 107.3.7 trncidental uses. Thefre barrier separating inciden- tal uses from other spaces in the building shall have a fire- resistance rating of not less than that indicated in Table 509. .t Table 509 states the fire-resistance requirements for fire barrier walls separating incidental tlse areas. For sonre incidental uses there is a sprinkler option in lieu of the fire-resistance-rated fire barrier wall' With the sprinkler option, the wall is not required to be fire- resistance rated but must be capable of resisting the 7-40 201 5 ll{TE BNATIOI,¡AL BUILDI NG CODEo COM Rñ ENTARY passage of smoke. Those nonrated wall assemblies are noi required to be constructed as fire barriers. 707.3,8 Control areas. Fire barriers separating control areas shallinave a fire-resístance røting of not less than that required in Section 414.2.4. * Control areas refer to areas within a building where limited quantities of hazardous materials are stored or used. Se ction 414.2.4 references Table 414.2.4 for the design and number of control areas. The required fire-resistance rating for the fire barriers separating the control areas from the rest of the area is also found within the table. 707.3,9 Separated occupancies. .Where the provisions of Section 508.4 are applicable, the fire barrier separating mixed occupancies shall have afire-resistance rating of not less than that indicated in Table 508.4 based on the occupan- cies being separated. * Where separation of mixed occupancies is the cho- sen option for mixed uses in a building, the required fire separation is either a fire barrier meeting the requirements of this section or a horizontal fire sepa- ration assembly meeting the requirements of Section 711 (see Section 508.4). The required fire-resistance rating for the fire barrier or horizontal assembly is found in Table 508.4, but in no case shall the fire- resistance rating be less than the highest value in Table 707.3.10 for the occupancies being separated' 707.3.10 Fire areas. The fire barriers ot horizontal assem- blies, or both, separating a single occupancy into different fire areas shall have afire-resistance rating of not less than that indicated in Table 707.3.L}.Thefire barriers ot horizon- tal assemblies, or both, sepatating fire areas of mixed occu- pancies shall have afire-resistance rating of not less than the trighest value indicated in Table 701.3.10 for the occupancies under consideration. * One of the alternatives available in addressing fire protection systems in many buildings is to divide the building into separate fire areas (see the definition of "Fire areas" in Chapter 2). Since many of the fire sup- pression system thresholds (see Section 903.2) are based upon the fire area, separation of a single occu- pancy into small fire areas can be an acceptable method for avoiding the use of sprinklers. This is a classic type of design decision: sprinklers versus compartmentation. lf the separation is provided in accordance with Table 707.3.10, each fire area may be evaluated separately for purposes of determining the applicable provisions of the code' Areas separated with fire barriers are not consid- ered separate buildings; they are considered sepa- rate fire areas. Two areas must be separated by a fire wall or exterior walls to be considered separate build- ings. Two areas separated with fire barriers are still considered as part of a single building. This distinc- tion is critical in determining compliance with allow- able height and area and other code provisions.

'Where exterior walls serve as a part of a required fire-resistance-rated shaft or stairway or ramp enclosure, or separation, such walls shali comply with the requirements of Section 705 for exterior walls and the fire- resistance-rated enclosure or separation requirements shall not apply. Exception: Exterior walls required to be fire-resistance rated in accordance with Section 1021 for exterior egress balconies, Section 1023.7 for interior exit stairways and ramps and Section 1027.6 for exterior exit stairways and ramp. å lf an area is required to be enclosed by fire barriers and an exterior wall constitutes part of the enclosure, the exterior wall is only required to comply with the fire-resistance-rating requirements in Section 705, unless the exterior wall is protecting part of an exte- rior egress balcony, an exit enclosure or an exterior stairway or ramp (see commentary, Sections 1021, 1023.7 and 1 027.6). The intent of the fire barrier requirements is to subdivide or enclose areas to pro- tect them from a fire in the building. ln general, the exterior wall only needs a fire-resistance rating if required for structural stability (see Table 601) or because of exterior exposure potential (see Table 602 and Section 705.5). The exception, however, points to three sections of the code where the exterior wall must be rated for reasons other than the FSD. 707.5 Contintity. Fire barriers shall extend from the top of the foundation or floor/ceiling assembly below to the under- side of the floor or roof sheathing, slab or deck above and shall be securely attached thereto. Suchfre barriers shall be continuous through concealed space, such as the space above a suspended ceiling. Joints and voids at intersections shall comply with Sections 707.8 and70'7.9 Exceptions: 1. Shaft enclosures shall be permitted to terminate at a top enclosure complying with Section 713.12. 2. Interior exit stairway and ramp enclosures required by Section 1023 and exit access stairway and ramp enclosures required by Section 1019 shall be permit- 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE@COMMENTARY 7-41 FIRE AND SMOKE PROTECTION FEATURES ted to terminate at a top enclosure complying with Section 713.12. å To minimize the potent¡al for fire spread from one area to another over a fire barrier wall, such fíre bar- rier assemblies must be continuous from the fire- resistance-rated floor/ceiling assembly below to the unders¡de of the floor slab or roof deck above (see Commentary Figure 707.5). To maintain the effi- ciency of the fire barrier, it must be continuous through all concealed spaces (such as a space abovea suspended ceiling), be constructed tight and securely attached to the underside of the floor slab or roof deck. The joint at the intersection of fire barrier walls and other fire barriers, the underside of fire- resistance-rated floors or roof decks, slabs, decks and exterior walls must be an approved fire-resis- tance joint system meeting ASTM E119 or UL 263. Exception 1 is an exception to the continuity requirement for shaft enclosure walls. Exception 2 allows exit stair enclosures and exit access stairway enclosures to terminate at a top enclosure complying with Section 713.12. 7 07.5.1 Supporting construction. The supporting construc- tion for afire barrier shall be protected to afford the required fire-resistance rating of the fire barrier supported. Hollow vertical spaces within a fire barrier shall be fireblocked in accordance with Section 718.2 at every floor level. Exceptions: 1. The maximum required fire-resistance rating for assemblies suppolting fire ban'iers separating tank storage as provided for in Section 415.9.1.2 shall be 2 hours, but not less than required by Table 601 for the building construction type. 2. Supporting construction for l-hour fire barriers required by Table 509 in buildings of Type IIB, IIIB and VB construction is not requiredtobefire-resis- tance rated unless required by other sections of this code. * ln general, fire barriers must be supported by con- struct¡on having an equivalent fire-resistance rating. lf the supporting structure is a primary structural frame (see the definition in Chapter 2) and supports a fire barrier wall more than two stories in height, the fire- resistance rating for the supporting structure must be protected by the individual encasement method in Section 704.3. lf the supporting members are a sec- ondary structural member, then the supporting struc- ture can be protected by a membrane as in Section 711 for horizontal assemblies. The intent of this requirement is to prevent the effectiveness of the assembly from being circumvented by a fire that threatens the supporting elements. The requirement for the supporting construction to be fire-resistance rated applies to buildings of all types of construction, even to buildings of Type llB, lllB and VB construc- tion for all fire barrier walls except those separating incidental use areas. Exception 1 is not an exception at all but a require- ment that supporting structures for fire barriers sepa- rating flammable or combustible tank storage be 2- hour fire-resistance rated. Exception 2 allows only incidental use area separa- tion walls in Type llB, lllB and VB construction to be supported on nonfire-resistance-rated construction if no other code section requires the supporting ele- ments to be fire-resistance rated. Fire barrier walls will usually be built on top of a floor and will terminate at the floor above. Should a fire barrier wall, as in the case of some shaft walls, be constructed through a floor, any hollow space within that wall could provide a passage for fire or smoke and, therefore, must be fireblocked as specified in the last sentence of Section 707.5.1.

Opening s in afire barrier shall be protected in accorãance with Section 716. Openings shall be limited to a maximum aggregate width of 25 percent of the length of the wall, and the maximum area of any single opening shall not exceed 156 square feet (15 m2). Openings in enclosures for exit access støirways and ramps, interior exit stairways and ramps and exit passøgewøys shall also comply with Sections I0I9, 1023.4 and 1024.5, respectively.

Fire window assemblies permitted in atrium separa- tion walls shall not be limited to a maximum aggre- gate width of 25 percent of the length of the wall' 5. Openings shall not be limited to 156 square fegt (if *i) ot un aggregate width of 25 percent of the length of the wall where the opening protective is a fire door assembly in a fire barrier separating an enclo- sure for exit access stairways and ramps, and interior exit stairways and ramps from an exit passageway in accordance with Section L023'3.1. *To function as intended, buildings must provide access into different building areas. This access requires openings within fire barriers. Section 707'6 deiines what openings are permitted and how they have to be proiected to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier. To maintain the viability of the fire barrier, the aggregate width of openings is restricted to a maximum ıf 25 percent of the length of the wall. This limitation is based on the fact that the criteria for opening protectives do not include limitations on uhexposed surface temperature or radiant heat trans- fer. ionsistent with typical listing limitations, a single opening protective ¡é l¡m¡ted to a maximum of 156 square-feet (15 m'z). lt should be noted, however, that certain openìng protectives, such as fire windows, are often limited to much smaller areas per opening. Traditionally, the limiting size on openings in fire- resistance-rated walls has been based on the max¡- mum sizes identified in the fire door listings' The pre- vious size limitation was 120 square feet (11 m2) due to the limitations of such listings. ln 2006, the code increased the maximum permitted size of an opening protective to 156 square feet (15 m2) in a fire barrier, based upon the current listing limitations of steel fire doors. The maximum length of any single opening is limited to 13 feet, 6 inches (4114 mm) for the same reason when used during the testing process' The reference to Sections 1019, 1023-4 and 1024.5 specifies that in exit enclosures and exit pas- sageways, only openings for the purpose of exiting from nbrmally occupied spaces are permitted' Spaces thât aie nıt.'noirñãlly-ÓccÚpiêd,'such as jâni- tor clqsets or mechanical and electrical rooms, are not permitted to open directly into these protected ex¡t systems since fire in those areas may produce large volumes of heat and smoke that could readily enter the exit enclosure and delay or prevent egress. ln order to maintain the required fire-resistance rating of the assembly, opening protectives must have a fire protection raiing in accordance with Section 716. The ieference to Section 716 is intended to identify the required fire protection rating for the opening protec- tive, as indicated in Table 716.5, installation require- ments and the applicable test standards. Openings in fire barriers are not limited to 156 square feét ltS m2¡ when all fire areas separated by the assembly are equipped throughout with automatic sprinkler protection (see Exception 1). This exception is similar to the one made for fire walls (see Section 706.8), based on the historical fire record of auto- matic sprinkler systems. Although the openings in the fire barrier are not limited in size under this exception, they are still required to be protected by opening pro- tectives that meet the requirements of Section 716. Exception 2 acknowledges the practicality of the 25-percent limitation for walls enclosing interior exit stairways and ramps, and exit access stainruays and ramps. Most exit enclosures are of such limited size that the placement of the fire door in the wall of the enclosure often exceeds 25 percent of the wall. Exception 3 addresses new opening protective products that have been tested to the more rigorous provisions of ASTM E1 19 or UL 263 rather than, or in addition to, the opening protective standard NFPA 252 or UL 10C. Since the opening protective has been tested to the same standard as the wall itself, it is then logical to allow such an opening protective without restrictions (see commentary, Section 703.6). Exception 4 acknowledges the inclusive r_eeutre- ments for openings into atriums addressed in Section 404 that include glazing material allowances not found elsewhere in Chapter 7. Exception 5 is similar to Exception 2 in that the wall area between the exit enclosure and the exit pas- sageway is usually so very small that the door open- ing will nearly always exceed the 25-percent limitation. 707.7 Penetrations. Penetrations of fire barriers shall com- ply with Section 714. .3" ln order to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier, penetrations into and through the fTre-resístance- FIRE AND SMOKE PROTECTION FEATURES 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE@COMMENTARY 7-43 HNE AND SMOKE FNOTEOTION FEATURES rated wall must be properly protected. Acceptable methods for various penetrations of fire barriers are identlfied in Section 714.3. The provisions of Section 707.7.1 must be used when the penetration is into an exit enclosure or exit passageway. 707.7.1 Prohibited penetrations. Penetrations into enclo- sures for exit access stairwøys and ramps, interior exit slair- ways and ratnps, and exit passagewøys shall be allowed only where permitted by Sections I0L9, 1023.5 and 7024.6, respectively. * This section reminds the code user that although the penetration firestop systems do provide protection for the penetration, the code prohibits most penetrations through exit enclosures. Only penetrations of items such as sprinkler piping, necessary ductwork for stair pressurization, and electrical conduit that serve the exit enclosure are allowed. There can never be a penetration through a fire barrier that separates an adjacent exit enclosure. 707.8 Joints. Joints made in or between fire barriers, and joints made at the intersection of fire barriers with underside of a fîre-resistance-rated floor or.roof sheathing, slab or deck above, and the exterior vertical wall intersection shall comply with Section 715. * This section contains requirements for joints or linear openings created between building assembliss, which are sometimes referred to as construction, expansion or seismic joints. These joints are most often created where the structural design of a building necessitates a separation between building compo- nents in orcJer to accommodate anticipated structural displacements caused by thermal expansion and contraction, seismic activity; wind or other loads. Commentary Figure 715.1 illustrates some of the most common locations of these joints. These linear openings create a "weak link" in fire- resistance-rated assemblies, which can compromise the integrity of the tested assembly by allowing an avenue for the passage of fire and the products of combustion through the assembly. ln order to main- tain the efficacy of the fire-resistance-rated assembly, these openings must be protected by a joint system with a fire-resistance rating equal to the adjacent assembly. lt is not the intent of this section to regulate joints installed in assemblies that are provided to con- tfol shrinkagg cracki¡g, sucþ Aq a qaw-cut control joint in concrete (see Section 715). 707.9 Votds at intersections. The voids created at the inter- section of a fire barrier and a nonfire-resistance-rated roof assembly or a nonfire-resistance-rated exterior wall assembly shall be filled. An approved material or system shall be used to fill the void, and shall be securely installed in or on the intersection for its entire length so as not to dislodge, loosen or otherwise impair its ability to accommodate expected building movements and to retard the passage of fire and hot gases. *This new section is ttteartl,to give sonte prescriptive requirements for the joint formed by the intersection of a fire barrier wall and a nonfire-resistance-rated roof or wall assembly. Fire barrier walls are required to extend vertically to the roof deck. Fire barrlers may also need to extend horizontally to an exterior wall. The method of sealing the resulting joint is pre- scribed in this section. Unlike a joint formed by a fire barrier wall and a fire-resistance-rated roof, which requires a joint meeting the test criteria of ASTM E1966 or UL 2079, this joint or void must only be filled with a material approved by the building official. It is not the intent of this section to require any per- formance-based tested assembly. 707.10 Ducts and air transfer openings. Penetrations in a fire barrier by ducts and air transfer openings shall comply with Section 717. åsection 717 details the protection of ducts and air transfer openings at the point where they penetrate a fire-resistance-rated assembly. Section 717.5 indi- cates which situations will require the installation of a damper. As stated in Section 717.1.2, if a duct does not require a damper, the penetration of that duct through a fire-resistance-rated assembly must be protected as a through penetration in accordance with Section 714. sEcTloN 708 FIRE PARTITIONS 708.1 General. The following wall assemblies shall comply with this section. 1. Separation walls as required by Section 420.2 fot Groups I-1, R-1, R-2 and R-3. 2. Walls separating tenant spaces in covered and open mall buildings as required by Section 402.4.2.I. 3. Corridor walls as required by Section 1020.1. 4. Elevator tobby separation as required by Section 3W6.2. 5. Egress balconies as required by Section 1019.2 * "Fire partitions," as defined in Section 202, are wall assemblies that enclose an exit access corridor, sep- arate dwelling units, separate sleeping units, sepa- rate tenants in covered and open mall buildings and separate elevator lobbies. There are some excep' tions to the requlrement that corridor walls and eleva- tor lobby walls be fire partitions. Those exceptions are found in Sections 3006.2 and 1020.1. Corridor walls not required to be fire-resistance rated by Table 1020.1 are not required to meet thís section. Elevator lobby walls not required to be fÍre' resistance ratecl by thá exceptions tri Section 3006.2 are not requíred to meet this section. This section contains fire-resistance rating !"equire' ments, continuity requlrements, opening require- ments, penetration requirements, joint requirements and duct and alr transfer opening requiremonts for fire partitions. 7-44 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODEOCOüMENTARY Dave Arqo Sent: lo: Cc: From:Dave Argo Tuesday, October 8,2019 12:07 PM 'TODD' Bi ll Gavette (gavette@carbonda lefire.org); Andy Schwa I ler (aschwaller@ ga rfield- county.com) 252 County Road 167 - Permit #BLCO-05-19-5760 Todd: I have looked over the amended plans you delivered to our office last week for the new steel building at the above referenced location. After reviewing my previous email - dated June L3,2Ot9 which identified outstanding items that needed to be addressed before the Building Dept. can finalize our plan review-the following items still remain to be completed: A. Architectural Plans - Floor plans and associated details must be submitted which are stamped by a Colorado licensed Architect because occupant load exceeds L0 people. ltems to be addressed include egress, fire sprinklers or fire rated separation walls, restrooms and building accessibility. B. Fire Sprinkler Svstem - Will the new building include a fire sprinkler system? Or will an fire wall be used to separate the two distinctive portions of the new building? We have not yet received notification from Bill Gavette as to which option will be taken with the new building (sprinklers vs. fire wall). Has Bill been contacted to perform a site review? lf a fire separation wall is used, this will need to be illustrated on the Architect's plans including details describing its construction. C. Site Plan -The site plan does not identify the following key setback dimension: (1) distance between the new steel building and the existing building; (2) minimum distance from the new building to southern property boundary line; (3) distance from new building to water line and Holy Cross Electric easements. Provide these key dimensions on the site plan, and in accordance with our building permit application checklist requirements, the site plan must be prepared by a Colorado licensed Surveyor. D. Change of Use Building Permit at Existing Steel Buildins - As per my previous email you will need to apply to our office for a Change of Use building permit prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the new building. E. Temporarv Structures - As noted in previous email, these structures now located along the northern property boundary line will either need to be removed or relocated to comply with 25-foot front yard setback. This will also need to occur prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. Please address items A-C as described above so that we can finalize our plan review and issue a permit for this project, and let me know how you wish to address ltems D & E. lf necessary, I can condition our approval of the permit package by stipulating completion of ltems D & E prior to issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We have now reviewed these drawings in greater detail, and we want to supplement our earlier email with a full list of issues that needs to be addressed before we can finalize our plan review and issue a building permit (see below for a detailed list). NEW STEE BUILDING 1. Engineered Foundation Plan - As described in my prevîous email, we require a site specific foundation plan to be submitted to our office that is wet-sealed and signed by a Colorado licensed Professional Engineer. 2. Soils Report - We found in our archived records a copy of an original soils report (for the existing steel building) as prepared by HP Geotech (please see attached). The Structural Engineer who will design the engineered foundation should be given a copy of this soils report. ln addition, we will require an "Open Hole Report" by a Geotechnical Engineer to confirm that findings in the original soils report are still valid as tested during excavation for the new steel building. 3. Architect Requirement - Our calculat¡ons indicate this new steel building exceeds an occupant load of 1-0 people, which by Colorado state law (C.R.S., L2-4-LI2\ requires a Colorado licensed Architect wet-seal plans for this building. We recommend hiring an Architect with commercial experience so that they can provide you with proper review and guidance with regard to all building code issues. Although the plans included to date have already been stamped by the steel building supplier's Engineer, we require an Architect supplied floor plan with building code items addressed as a supplement to these plans, and this is in addition to the Engineered foundation plan described in item #L above. 4. Fire Svste m - Based on size of the new building (9,015 SF) it will be required to have an automatic fire sprinkler system installed. Have you discussed this project with Bill Gavette at Carbondale Fire District? lf not, we suggest that you set up a meeting with Bill at the property so that he can provide you with Fire Code issues that will need to be addressed. lf you decide to provide a fire-rated partition wallto reduce the effective size of (2) resulting "Fire Areas" you will be required to have a licensed Architect familiar with commercial building construction to provide our office with details of this alternative to providing a fire sprinkler system' Restroom Facilities are required in the new building per l.B.C., Chapter 29. You can meet this requirement with one unisex bathroom, and required plumbing fixtures include (one each) of the following: water closet, sink, drinking fountain & service sink. Restroom will need to meet accessibility standards and interior finishes must comply with l.B.C., Section 1203. OTHER ISSUE 6. Chanse of Use at Existing Steel Building - Since the existing steel building was originally built (and permitted through the County) as a "Mechanic's Shop for Personal Use" a separate building permit is required to convert use to a commercial millwork shop - if indeed that is its current function. Permit fees for a "Change of Use" conversion will be nominal, but inspection of the existing steel building will be required by the Building Dept. and the State Electrical lnspector will also need to sign-off on the electrical for commercial occupancy/use. 5 1 7. Existing "Tcmporarv" Modular Buildinls - Our research indicates that more than one modular building appear to be located right along the northernmost property line and within a required setback. Prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the new steel building, our department will require you to submit an updated site Plan as prepared by a Colorado licensed Professional Licensed Surveyor to confirm exact locatlon of these structures. lf intended to remain on this property, you will be required to place them on a permanent foundation and a building permit will be required for each structure to remain. Thank you for your attent¡on to getting these issues resolved so that we can finalize our review in a timely fashion. lf you have any questions, please contact me to discuss further, and in the meantime we will place drawings in our "pending projects" file while awaiting your response.

However, before we can issue a building permit for this project we need to receive additional information from you including: Foundation plan - The drawings submitted include a general site plan and drawings from the steel building sqpplier (Metal Building Outlet Corp.) but a foundation plan is not included. Garfíeld County Building Department requires submission of an Engineered foundation plan for any manufactured steel building. Typically the steel buílding suppliers do not provide a site specific foundation design for the buildings they supply to customers, and many property owners will hire a local Structural Engineer to provide an engineered foundation that meets both the steel building requirements, as well as local site conditions and Building Dept. requirements. There are several local engineering consultants who can provide you with this service, but it's ¡mportant that the foundation plans are stamped by a Colorado licensed Engineer. Soils Report - ln addition to the engineered foundation plans and details, the Structural Engineer may also require you to have a site specific soils report as prepared by a Colorado licensed Geotechnical Engineer. Sometimes the Structural Engineer will make assumptions about soils bearing capacity and then requíre that those assumptions are confirmed by a Geotechnical Engineer prior to pouring concrete for the foundation. Please review with your Structural Engineer, because if a soils test is required, it will probably be best to get the soils report completed as early as possible. Adiacent Existine Buildine - The site plan indicates that this new steel building will be placed directly up against an existing wood-frame building, which raises the following issues which must be addressed: A. Floor plan layout of the existing building needs to be depicted with rooms illustrated, including any bathroom facilities, circulation areas, exits and other interior spaces and/or uses clearly identified. B. How will the existing structure and foundation be protected and/or ¡ntegrated into the new proposed steel structure? ls it the intent for the existing building to be joined together with a common access door between these buildings? lf so, this needs to be depicted on floor plans. lf not, there may need to be an occupancy separation provided between these structures, and an Architect may be needed to assist you with this. C. The Structural Engineer will need to address how these two separate buildings will be joined together including details at foundations, floor elevations, exterior walls & roof connections. D.
