Home My WebLink AboutSTAFF REVIEWS - 03-00048 - Deseret Industries - New Commercial6/10/2003 John Watson JRW 49 Professional Plaza Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Dear John, STATE OF IDAHO www.ci.rexburq.Id.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 Deseret Industries building and have identified the following deficiencies: 1. The handicapped parking spaces do not have the 5' aisle as required. Also a van accessible space with a 9' wide aisle adjacent to it is required. 2. Please provide a Flood Elevation Certificate as required in the 2000 International Building Code (IBC) Section 1612.5. 3. A soil investigation report must be provided. The structural calculations use the soil conditions of Site Class "C". Without an engineered site study, the default Site Classification is "D". Please provide a soil investigation study or revise the structural calculations using Site Class "D". 4. The structural calculations are not consistent. Part of the document references the IBC and part the 1997 Uniform Building Code. At the front of the document, the snow load (live load) is accurately identified as 35 lb/ft, while in the roof calculations the snow load used is 30 lb/ft. The document identifies the seismic use group as group I. The IBC Table 1604.5 lists "buildings or structures where more than 300 people congregate in one area" as seismic use group II. The retail area of the store has an occupancy of 487. 5. On page 2 of the roof section of the structural calculations, the engineer makes the statement that the mechanical roof unit weights have not been included in the structural design and that roof joist manufacturer should provide the design. Please provide me with the necessary engineering document 6. On page G1.2 an "as is" area is identified at the rear of the building as having an exit serving 120 occupants. Two exits are required with exit lights. Sheet E1.1 identifies an exit sign in the "as is" area leading back into the building. Please remove this symbol. 7. The exit signs on page E1.2 are not the same as on page FD1.1. Please add where missing. 8. The exiting thru the vestibule does not meet the requirements set forth in the IBC Section 1006.1 and Table 1004.2.1. 9. Submit manufacturer's certificate of compliance for all components as per IBC Section 1621.3.5. Page 50.1 identifies that equipment seismic bracing will be provided by the equipment manufacturer. Please supply this information. 10. IBC Table 601 identifies the roof construction of Type II -B buildings as being required to have a 0 hr. fire -resistance rating. Footnote "c" makes an exception for F-1 occupancies. Section 302.3.2 of the IBC requires that "the most restrictive type of construction, so determined, shall apply to the entire building" in order for Section 302.3.2 - "Non -separated Uses" to apply. The roof construction must be 1 -hr rated. 11. The plans and specifications identify special inspections required for concrete, masonry, reinforcing steel, steel roof deck and all structural welding. Please provide us with information and certifications of the people and firm that will be performing these inspections. We need to meet with the inspection company representative to go over special inspections prior to construction. 12. Structural observation by the Engineer is a requirement of your Quality Assurance Program that is detailed on page 50.2. Please provide a list of projected visits. 13. Page S0.2 identifies IBC Sections 1505.2 thru 1505.4 to be followed for concrete testing. These sections deal with roof assemblies. Please make the necessary changes. 14. The Fire Department has reviewed the plans. I have attached a copy of the report. Please provide the necessary information they have requested. These items need to be addressed before issuance of a building permit. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached during the day at 359-3020 Ext. 324.
