Olympia, WA 99506 Dear Glenn, (lily 0/2, eXIM7. 7 STATE OF IDAHO www.ci.rexbura.id. u: P.O. Box 280 12 North Center Street Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Phone (208) 359-3020 Fax (208) 359-3022 e-mail rexburg@ci.r9xIburg.!d.us I have reviewed the plans for the Village Apartments and have identified the following discrepancies or questions: i. Dimensions are required on the site plan. They should include building location, size, aisle widths, sidewalk widths, parking space size, access aisle widths, etc... 2. The site plan does not identify an accessible route throughout the complex. Handicap ramps at curbs and sidewalks need to be shown. 3. Eight units (or 2%) are required to be "Type A" accessible as per the code. Please identify these units on the site plan. 4. Phase I has adequate parking. The rest of the site plan does not meet our parking space requirements. Two bedroom units require 2 parking spaces. One bedroom and studios require 1.5 spaces. We count dens as bedrooms. Please make the necessary changes to accommodate the parking. 5. The trash dumpster is located at the end of the parking lot. Our trash trucks are side loading and will not be able to access this dumpster. Please make the necessary change. 6. Special inspections are identified on page S8.0 for field welding and high strength bolting. Please identify the firm who will be performing these inspections. We require a pre -construction meeting with the special inspection firm, the contractor and the City of Rexburg Building Inspector. 7. Please provide truss details prior to framing inspection. 8. Sinks and other plumbing elements are shown against unit fire separation walls. Show details that identify how the membrane is to be breached. Make sure that the plumbing contractor is aware that if they try to utilize one stack in the party wall and run plastic pipe from the wall to two units, special design is necessary. Using fire collars at the penetrations is one option, but the best option is to keep individual stacks in the plumbing wall of each unit and not in the party wa$. 9. You identify 2'8" and 2'6" doors in the type "B" adaptable units. A clear width of 32" is required. The door stops attached to the jambs of the doors lessen the clear width and thus a 2'8" wide door will not meet the REXBURG-MADISON COUNTY EMERGENCYSER VICES 26 NORTH CENTER STREET REXBURG, IDAHO 83440 208-359-3010 208-359-3006 FAX 2000 International Fire Code Plan Date: JUNE 2003 Plan Review Review Date: 7-22-03 Building Name: VILLAGE APARTMENTS, PHASE I Building Address: PORTER ROAD Stories: 3 Type of Construction: V -B Occupancy Classification: R-2 Existing Floor Area: N/A New Construction Floor Area: APPROXIMATELY 13,488 SQUARE FEET TO 9,468 SQUARE FEET 1.

You identify 2'8" and 2'6" doors in the type `B" adaptable units. A clear width of 32" is required. The door stops attached to the jambs of the doors lessen the clear width and thus a 2'8" wide door will not meet the requirement. All doors in the type "B" units that will require passage by a wheelchair will need to meet the 32" clear width requirement. 10. Walk in closets in type `B" accessible units are required to have a door meeting accessible requirements. The plans show a 2'6" wide door. Please make the necessary changes. 11. The walk in closet of the type "A" dwelling units require a turning space as identified in ICC/ANSI Al 17.1 1002.3.2. 12. Type "A" handicap units require lowered sink and work spaces as per ICC/ANSI A117.1 1002.12. Please identify on plans. 13. In Unit A and Unit B, the bathrooms are 5' wide. It has been our experience that the 30" x 48" clear floor space required in the lower level adaptable type "B" unit bathrooms is encroached by the toilet unless the bathroom is a few inches wider than 5'. Please check the size of the toilets and make the necessary changes to the plans. 14. The kitchens in units A, C and D are u -shaped kitchens and do not meet the requirements of ICC/ANSI Al 17.1 1003.12.1 "U -Shaped". 15. Type "A" handicap units require a lowered sink and work surface as per ICC/ANSI A117.1 sections 1002.12.3 and 1002.12.4. 16. Please identify all lower units as either type "A" or type `B" handicapped units. The townhouses and the upper units are exempt. 17. Identify guard or barrier as per ICC/ANSI A117.1 Section 307.4 at each stairwell. See figure 307.4. 18. The Fire Department has reviewed the drawings and has identified some discrepancies. I have attached a copy of their list to the back of this document. 19. Plans will need to be submitted for the community center and the storage units when available, but prior to any construction. 20. The plans for the mechanical are designated as owner -design build. We will still need submittals when available on any equipment. Please have the mechanical contractor check with this office prior to commencing with construction of the HVAC system. The manner in which the fire separation walls and ceiling membranes are breached must be determined. 21. The City Engineer is out of town until Monday, July 28`s. He has not reviewed the finished site plan and may have additional comments. 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.
