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 BYU Idaho Student Health and Counseling Center and have identified the following discrepancies: The parking plan includes two handicapped accessible spaces, one with an aisle along side and one without. The ADA guidelines for Accessible Design requires that a 5 foot aisle be included along side each handicapped accessible space. Additionally, the amount of required handicapped spaces (by my calculations) should be 3, not 2. If we identify the number of required parking spaces using the Rexburg Zoning Ordinance requirement of spaces per 1000 sq. ft. of building space, the result is 61 required spaces for the 20296 sq. ft. building. The ADA Standard for Accessible design identifies that 3 handicapped spaces are to be provided. "I feel that these numbers are conservative for a building that will have an occupancy of over 200 people. The waiting area is of a size that will require 2 exits as per Table 1004.2.1 of the 2000 International Building Code (IBC). Exit signs will need to be added to the other entrance(s) that connects to the exit hallway. Please provide cut sheets for all HVAC Units. The Fire Department has reviewed the drawings and I have attached a copy of their report to the back -of this document. Please address their concerns. Please address 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.
