| 08/08/2003 | STANTEC | 3RD PARTY REVIEW-COMMERCIAL | REVIEW | Denied | SCOPE OF REVIEW: The scope of this review covers Architectural, Structural, Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittal provided. All portions of the project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions and concerns before permit approval. GENERAL: q There are no general comments to be addressed. ARCHITECTURAL: q Provide the master bathroom door number at the Unit C Floor Plan on Sheet CB-1. It is missing a door number. q The master bathroom at Unit C floor Plan on Sheet CB-1 appears to not have adequate clearance. There needs to be a clear floor or ground space, 30" wide by 48" long, which is beyond the arc of the door swing [ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec 1002.11.1 Exception]. The room is 5'-0" wide and the 2'-10" door swings fully into this clearance only leaving about 26" for this clear floor space beyond the arc of the door. The house bath appears o.k. q How are grab bars (or blocking for future grab bars) being provided at the toilets in the house bathrooms of Accessible Units C, D, and E? Grab bars (or blocking for future grab bars) need to be provided at all toilets in Type A dwelling units [ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec. 1002.11 and 1002.11.5.4]. q Details 7 and 8 on Sheet D1 address the separation between dwelling units. It is indicated that the separation required is only 1/2 hour. This would be correct if the sprinkler system being installed were per NFPA 13 and not per NFPA 13R (Sheet P10 indicates that NFPA 13R is to be used for the apartments. The exceptions in the IBC allow the dwelling unit separations to be reduced when a sprinkler system is being installed per Sec. 903.3.1.1 [2000 IBC Sec. 708.3, Exception 2 and Sec. 710.3 Exception]. Sec. 903.3.1.1 only covers NFPA 13 systems. Sec. 903.3.1.2 covers NFPA 13R systems. You can install an NFPA 13R system, but then you don't get the benefit of the code exceptions allowing a reduction of the dwelling unit separations to 1/2 hour. Either upgrade the sprinkler system to an NFPA 13 system or revise all dwelling unit separations to 1-hour. q Detail 6 on Sheet D1 may also need to be addressed based on the previous comment. The supporting construction of the fire rated horizontal assembly needs to have the equivalent fire rating as the horizontal assembly noted in Detail 8 on Sheet D1 [2000 IBC Sec. 710.4]. If the fire sprinkler is not changed then this detail also needs to be changed since some of the exterior walls are bearing. q Detail 6 on Sheet D2 needs to have the dimensions corrected. q The section marks on Detail 2 on Sheet D2 are incorrect. The letters are reversed (as are the views). q Where on the plans is the U Value specified for the window units per the energy code calculation submitted? Please provide. STRUCTURAL: q Provide a special inspection certificate for the following items: · Engineered Fill · Concrete · Post-Tension · Masonry · Epoxy and Expansion Anchors. q Provide a note on the foundation plans indicating that post-tensioned slabs shall be labeled in two places: · Concrete Slab - located in the apartment unit storage rooms (at the door), the maintenance room in the recreation center (at the door), and at the garages (at the garage doors). · Main water shut-off valves - metal tag indicating the slab is a post-tensioned slab. q Within the calculations on Page 37 (a layout drawing), I could not find EB7 and ELT2. Please identify. q Page 60 of the structural calculations indicates that the floor diaphragm is to be 3/4" sheathing with #8 screws @ 6" o.c. for edges and 10" o.c. for intermediates. The general structural notes on Sheet S0.1 are identical except that they indicate that the floor sheathing is to be attached at 12" o.c. for intermediates. Please correct this discrepancy. q The shear walls shown on Sheet S2.1.2 as running down the center of the building (the long direction) are SW7's with no hold-downs. However the calculations on Page 63 show that the shear wall is to be an SW8 (marginally as calculated it could be an SW7) and on Page 65 it should have H2 hold downs. Please clarify the discrepancy. q Where is the shear wall shown on Sheet S2.2.3 as running down the center of the building (the long direction)? It is noted as Shear Wall Line RC on Page 68 of the structural calculations and should be an SW7. Please clarify. q The hold-downs for Shear Wall Line R1B are indicated as #6's on Page 69 of the structural calculations, however Sheet S2.2.3 indicates the hold-downs to be HD1's. Please correct the discrepancy. q The hold-downs for Shear Wall Line A are indicated as #5's on Page 70 of the structural calculations, however Sheet S2.2.2 indicates the hold-downs to be HD5's in some cases and HD4's in others. Please correct the discrepancy. MECHANICAL: q There are no mechanical comments to be addressed. PLUMBING: q The number of fixture units within each apartment building type is greater than 216 [1994 AzUPC Table 7-3]. Therefore the waste lines exiting both apartment building types need to be larger than 4' diameter [1994 AzUPC Table 7-5]. q Do backwater valves need to be provided for the waste lines to these buildings [1994 AzUPC Sec. 710.0]? Site grading and sewer information has not been provided and therefore it cannot be confirmed that this code requirement has been met. q The secondary drains have been located to drain to a conspicuous point of disposal (the carpeted hallway)[2000 IMC Sec. 307.2.3, Method 2], however this point of drainage can also be viewed as draining into an area so as to cause a nuisance [2000 IMC Sec. 307.2.1]. This secondary drain would be less of a nuisance if it drained over a sink or tub in the same fashion. q There is a note to the gas meter (on the Plumbing Floor Plan) on Sheet P3 that indicates that there is 1,018 c.f.h. of gas demand. On Sheet P9 the note at the meter (on the Gas Riser Isometric) indicates that the demand is 880 c.f.h. While counting the gas demand on this isometric diagram I count 1,090 c.f.h. Please clarify which figure is correct. The pipe sizing appears correct for the largest of the figures. q Detail 2 on Sheet P9 is labeled as a gas riser diagram for Building Type II. The piping in the diagram is noted as cold and hot water piping. There is a duplicate layout with no notation above these diagrams. Please correct. ELECTRICAL: q The one-line diagram on Sheet E3.0 references bonding building steel, the UFER ground, and the cold water pipe per NEC Art. 250. Please include bonding of the gas piping [1999 NEC Art. 250-104]. -End of Review- |
