BOX 280 12 NORTHENTER STREET R'E BURG, IDAHO 83440 PHONE (208) 359.3020 FAX (208) 359-3022 We have completed our .review of the plans Information Center * The major construction portions plans .( i o o wallsffloors, roof, t are okay; however, there are a number of details associated with "handicapped accessibility" that we need to discuss. As this building X11 be the fOcuS of so many people looking for information about the Cityl i't Ls particularly important that it also example ohow to provide the many handicapped -called for in Section 31 of the Uniform Building left information number of these atems 'with Bill earlier but it never appeared on the plans. A lot of the . minute detail .( such as height to bottom of mi rrors, height of grab bars, etc.) doesn't have to be shown on the plans as long as the workmen doing the installations ll know what these required dimensions are. If they do not we will have a lot of conflicts when we make the final inspection and check out all of these details, I have attached copies of a number of sheets that relate to handicapped accessibility that appeared to be relevant 'to this bul"Ading. I thought you and Bill Bergner and the owner may want to go over them. I have particuiar concerns listed items 1 UBC section 3104 (a) states that f Li]_i_Lrequired to be accessible r accessible means of egress provided in the same number as required Chapter 330 When an exit required not accessible, an area for r al provided" This means that 2 of the room on the south need t a exits from the large conference he handicapped access ible o If o not want to make the two10 exist ing outside it both handicapped accessible,YOu could move the exit at thenorthwest corner of this room to the sOuthwest corner of the room. It,j, and the exit to the break room would then be far enough apart that they could be used as the two required handicapped accessible ,gill , the two exitsfrom the Reception Area need to be handicapped accessible.
