Please provide dimensions on parking plan (site plan). The parallel spaces along the laundry are too short. Parallel spaces should be 22' long or longer. You need 2 spaces per dwelling unit. It appears that you are 7 spaces short. 2. The ADA requires that one of your handicapped parking spaces be a van accessible space. The aisle adjacent to a van accessible space is required to be 96" wide. The other handicapped spaces require a 60' aisle. Please identify these aisles and dimensions on parking plan. 3. Compact parking spaces are to be signed. Please identify compact spaces and signage on plans. 4. Some of the trash dumpsters are located in parking lot corners. Our trash trucks are side loading and will not be able to access these dumpsters. 5. Please identify privacy fencing where parking lots border other properties. 6. All units on the lower floor must be type "A" or type `B" handicapped units. Please identify the location of all handicapped units on the site plan. 7. Please identify location(s) of 2 hr. fire-wall(s). 8. Please provide literature on stucco for 1 -hr rating. 9. The footings in the entry do not have the required 36" of ground cover for frost protection. 10. Please provide truss details prior to framing inspection. 11. Sheet S 1 calls out for Special Inspections on concrete and structural field welding. Please let us know who will be performing these inspections as soon as possible. Section 1701.1 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) requires that the special inspectors be employed by the owner or the engineer or architect of record acting as the owner's agent. Let us know if you will be employing the special inspectors. The Contractor is not allowed to perform this function. 12. I have attached a copy of the Fire Department review top the back of this document. Please provide me with 2 new stamped copies of the corrected plans. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 359-3020 ext. 324. sincerely, Val Christensen Building Official C.C. John Millar Chris Huskinson REXBURG MADISON COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT P.O.
