Home My WebLink AboutREVIEWS - 03-00025 - Cambridge Court Apartments - Two Building 79 Units5/19/2003 Scott Spaulding Design Intelligence 3685 E Hwy. 33 Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Dear Scott, P.O. Box 280 12 North Center Street 7 Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Phone (208) 359-3020 STATE OF IDAHO Fax (208) 359-3022 www.c1.rexburg.Id.us e-mail rexburg@ci.rexburg.1d.us I have finished the review of the Sainsbury Construction Cambridge Court Apartment drawings that you have provided for me and have identified the following discrepancies: 1. The stair enclosures must be open on one side as per the definition of exterior stairway as defined in Section 1002 of the 2000 International Building Code (IBC). The exterior doors of the units must be 20 minute rated doors and assemblies. 2. Be aware that plumbing in party walls can cause many problems with the integrity of fire walls. Plastic pipes can not penetrate the membrane of the 1 - hour firewall unless they are properly constructed to do so. Special fire resistive rings are required or special details that show metal parts entering the membrane and all plastic remaining within the wall. The unit separation walls must be built continuous from the foundation to the roof sheathing. We have details for many different options that I can provide for you if you want to come down to the office. 3. The door into the bathroom on a "Type B" adaptable unit can not open into the space in front of the bathtub. The bathroom that you used to create the existing design has a wall hung sink that allows a wheel chair to move under it. The current configuration will not allow a space large enough so that a person in a wheelchair would have room to close the door. I have attached a drawing to the back of this document that identifies how the door must not swing into the space in front of the tub. 4. "Type A" accessible units are required to have lowered work and sink areas in the kitchens. 5. The footings which were poured previously are not 36" below grade. Please provide a detail showing how the error can be fixed. 6. Bolts were left out for shear walls and bearing walls when the slab was poured. Please identify how to connect these walls. Under some of these walls there is only 4" of concrete. 7. The Fire Department has reviewed the plans. I have attached a copy of there report. Please provide the necessary information they have requested. Please return two sets of revised plans. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 359-3020 east. 324.
