I have reviewed the University Courtyard Apartment drawings that you have
provided me and have identified the following discrepancies -
1. The Fair Housing Guidelines requires that handicapped parking spaces to be
located on the shortest route to the accessible entrance of the building. This
plan has all of the handicapped spaces located across the parking lot.
2. Too many of the parking spaces are designated as compact spaces. The
zoning ordinance allows only 25% of the spaces to be compact spaces.
3. Barriers at the spaces between the parking lot and Harvard Avenue must be
shown on plans. In past plans, large rocks were shown in these areas. The
concern is that in the winter drivers will not be able to distinguish that
approaches are not connecting Harvard and the parking lot. Harvard is a very
narrow street and the City does not want additional traffic on this street.
4. Please identify Right -Of -Way on both streets and the set -backs from the
buildings to the Right -Of -Way on the site plan.
5. Please identify access approaches on 2d East as per the City of Rexburg
Specifications.
6. Be aware that plumbing in party walls can cause many problems with the
integrity of the fire wail. 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.
7. Any room containing gas furnaces or water heaters can not open into a
bedroom without a door that seals tight when closed. Exterior doors with tight
fitting weather stripping and thresholds are permitted for this application.
8. Furnace rooms have not been identified on these drawings. Please identify the
type of finvace.
9. Please identify smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in each unit.
10. Page SO calls out for 5/8" roof sheathing to be blocked on all edges. Is this
requirement necessitated by structural design? it is not a common practice in
this area.
11. Please identify all footings as being a minimum of 36" below grade.
12. 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 ext. 324.
Sincerely,
Val Christensen
