Sheet D1 shows areas of demolition. Sheet D1.1 shows construction details of
proposed dust barriers and proposed security enclosure. Please provide
information for the placement and staging of these structures so as to not create
means of egress deficiencies as per 2006 IBC Chapter 10 and cause a
deficiency in fire sprinkler coverage as per NFPA 13.

Sheet D1 shows front entry doors 098A and 099A to be removed. Please clarify
what exits, egress, and accessible means of egress will be maintained during
this part of the project as required by Chapter 10 and 11 of the 2006 IBC. How
will patrons and employees enter and exit the store?

Sheet A1 shows front entry doors 098A/B and 099A/B to egress an
unconditioned vestibule. The Door Schedule on Sheet A8 does not specify
tempered thermal glass with a U Value of .85 or better as required by Table
502.3 of the 2006 IECC; please clarify.
4.
Sheet A1 and A8 show front entry doors 098A and 099A with glazing over head.

Sheet SP2 Details show hand rail extensions at the bottom of the ramps and
stairs (not attach to building). The details do not provide the 27” maximum from
the bottom of the hand rail extension to the top of landing as required by Section
4.8.5 Fig 27 of the ADAAG. The delineation shown is mathematically correct,
however not showing the 27” can lead to confusion in the field and require
revision by Section 106.1.1 of the 2006 IBC.

As was discussed in a 12/22/09 telephone conversation with Jeff Laubach of
Phelps Engineering, increase from 25 feet to at least 30 feet the radius on the
curb return that is proposed to be reconstructed at the southwest corner of the
site where the main western drive intersects the shopping center loop road. That
change will add an extra margin of safety to the effort to increase the effective
width to the driveway to hopefully prevent the rutting in the island that currently
occurs.
If you have questions or alternatives to discuss on the above-mentioned items, please
contact the appropriate person above, or contact me at this office, (913) 895-6248.
