Box 2421 Idaho Falls, ID 83403-2421 Dear Jed, edy 012exiary STATE OF IDAHO www.cLrexburg.jd.us P.O. Box 280 12 North Center Street Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Phone (208) 359-3020 Fax (208) 359-3022 e-mail rexburg@ci.rexburg,id.us I have reviewed the drawings for the Mark Austin Building Phase 2 and have identified the following discrepancies or questions: 1. How is handicapped parking being addressed? The new addition identifies 176 new occupants and would require at minimum an additional 44 parking spaces. The ADA Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.1.2 requires that 2 handicapped parking spaces. be provided. These spaces should be close to the building and located off an accessible exit and route. 2. Section 1103.2.3 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) requires that 50% of all entrances be handicapped accessible. With, the addition, the entire building has 5 main entries and many more entrances out of individual rooms. The new configuration would require at least 3 accessible entrances. Section 1104. 1.1 of the UBC states "When more than one exit or exit -access door is required from any accessible space, each accessible space shall be served by not more than two accessible means of egress". In order to meet the requirements of this section of the code, the existing building's handicapped exit must be used. This puts additional weight on the need to review the entire building's egress system to today's code and therefore, drives the need for 3 handicapped entrances versus the 2 shown. 3. The code compliance page identifies the woodworking lab's exits serving 89 occupants. The two exits required are too close to comply with the '/2 the diagonal distance rule. The woodworking environment combined with a finishing room creates an egress concern. An outside exit to this room is needed. 4. Sheet S501 does not contain Detail D5 as identified on Sheet S 1.01. 5. Are existing hallways constructed in a manner to allow them to be used as corridors by today's code? 6. Stair sections identify 10" runs or treads. Section 100 1.3.3 of the UBC requires a minimum stair run of 11". 7. Please see the Fire Department review that I have attached to the back of this document. Please look into the above items and return two copies of any changes to me at City Hall. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions please give me a call at 359-3020 ext. 324.
