10/23/2003 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 The required mixed occupancies table on Sheet A0.1 indicates that separation between the "U" Occupancy private garages and the other occupancies has been reduced per 2000 IBC Table 302.3.3 Exception C to 0-hours. Exception C is specific to S-2 occupancies (look at the S-2 listings in the table); therefore the separation between the other occupancies is still 1-hour. Please correct the table and provide any necessary occupancy separations affected by this correction.

q The first floor walls of the apartment buildings that are over 3 stories high need to be of 3-hour construction [2000 IBC Sec. 508.6]. The walls are shown as concrete masonry construction. These walls need to be either solidly grouted or the un-grouted cells need to be filled with perlite, vermiculite, or some other approved fill [2000 IBC Table 719.1(2), Material 3] to meet the requirement of 3-hour construction. Please provide notation in the drawings to indicate this requirement (the sections and plans currently have fire assembly notes regarding other assemblies).

q Where are the doors defined for Building #2, at the common areas of the first floor (fitness center, assembly room, restrooms, etc.)? Please clarify.

q The un-numbered door from the fitness center that swings out towards the egress stairs encroaches too far into the stair landing [2000 IBC Sec. 1003.3.3.4]. The door cannot encroach into the landing more than half the landing width.

q The 3rd Floor Plan for Building #2 shown on Sheet A2.0 has a stair tower shown at the far right hand side of the plan? The same stair tower is shown on Sheet A2.1 on the 4th floor. However, this stair tower is not shown on the 1st or 2nd floor plans on Sheet A2.0. Where did it go? The 1st Floor Plan indicates an enlarged floor plan but the detail key provided is not completed. Is the stair shown on Sheet A8.4 really meant for this location? Should Detail 4 on Sheet A8.4 open up to the 4th floor somehow? Does the mechanical layout shown on Sheet A2.0 interfere with the stair's location? This part of the project needs further development throughout the set.

q Stairway access to the roof needs to be provided on Buildings #2, #3, and #4 since the buildings are 4 or more stories tall [2000 IBC Sec. 1003.3.3.12]. Since the roof is not considered accessible, a roof hatch to gain access tot eh roof can be provided in lieu of a penthouse [2000 IBC Sec. 1003.3.3.12.1]

q Provide a calculation to show that the required quantity of accessible dwelling units has been provided [2000 IBC Sec. 1107.5.4].

q A 30" wide section of counter in the accessible kitchens needs to be lowered to 34" maximum above the floor (all counters are shown as 36" above the floor)[ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec. 1002.12.3.2]. Cabinetry can be provided under this counter, however it must be noted that the cabinetry is removable without removal of the counter and that the flooring shall continue under this cabinetry [ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec. 1002.12.3].

q The kitchen sink needs to be mounted in a 30" wide section of counter in the accessible kitchens and needs to be lowered to 34" maximum above the floor ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec. 1002.12.4]. Cabinetry can be provided under this counter, however it must be noted that the cabinetry is removable without removal of the counter and that the flooring shall continue under this cabinetry [ANSI A117.1-1998 Sec. 1002.12.4.1]. Also, check the plumbing comments regarding backwater valves at Building #2 (required if sink is below 33.6").

q Sheets A2.1, A2.3, A3.1, A3.3, A4.1, A4.3, indicate that the roof is to be a Class "C" listed system, however this is incorrect. Buildings #2, #3, and #4 are all listed on Sheet A0.1 as Type IIIA Construction, therefore they need to have Class "B" roofs at a minimum [2000 IBC Table 1505.1].

q Please clarify the overflow scupper at all of the area roof drains. Sheet A2.1 identifies a detail but the notation is incorrect. The other roof plans do not even indicate or note these systems (nor do the elevations). There is a roof scupper shown in Detail 8 on Sheet A7.2. Is this the overflow? How does it relate to the roof drain [1994 AzUPC Appendix D, Sec. D1.1 (d)]?

q Sheet M2.1 indicates that the condensing units shown on this plan are to typically be located on the roof and to see the architectural drawings for exact locations. Only 2 of the 9 condenser units for this portion of the plan are shown on the architectural roof plans (Sheets A2.0 and A2.1). Please coordinate. Is there enough roof space for these additional units? If they are located on the roof then the structural engineer will need to be informed.

STRUCTURAL:

q See architectural comment regarding condenser unit locations.

q Provide special inspection certificate(s) for the following items [2000 IBC Chapter 17]:
· Engineered Fill
· Masonry
· Welding
· Epoxy Anchors

q Revise the deferred submittal note on Sheet S0.1. Deferred submittal drawings need to be reviewed by the Engineer of Record, then submitted for plan check and approved by the building department prior to being handed to the inspector in the field. The last sentence indicates that the plans go directly from the Engineer of Record to the Field Inspector.

q Page 13 of the structural calculations shows a beam in the middle of the layout drawing noted as a B2. Page 29 indicates that a B2 is to be a 6 3/4" x 21" glue laminated beam. Sheet S4.1 shows the beam to be a B6, which per the beam schedule on Sheet S0.4 is a 3 1/8" x 12" glue laminated beam. Please correct.

q Pages 24, 25, 26, and a second page 26 of the structural calculations show a beam designated "B17". There is no Beam "B17" detailed in the calculations and Sheets S2.0, S3.0, S4.0, and S5.0 show these beams as a "B_". Please clarify.

q Also, the column in the same location described in the previous comment on Sheet S4.0 and S5.0 is indicated as a "C_" (Sheets S2.0 and S3.0 show a "C1"). There is also another beam indicated as a "B_" which is along the demising wall between units (does this beam exist?). Please correct.

q Where are the calculations for the masonry lintels? Please provide.

q Where are the footing calculations? The only calculation provided is for footing F1 (F9 on the plans). There are 13 different footings on the plans. Please provide calculations.

q Please provide lateral analysis for these structures.

MECHANICAL:

q See architectural comment regarding condenser unit locations.

q On Sheet M2.1, the office area plan is noted as "future". Please clarify the scope for this phase of the project. Are fan coil units and condenser units to be set, and nothing more? Will the coolant piping be installed between the units and thermostats set? Will outside air be provided along with the ductwork at a future date? Are the units capable of providing the outside air potentially required by this future office?

PLUMBING:

q The fixture unit calculation on Sheet P8.1 appears to be incorrect. The typical washing machine is listed as 6 fixture units and the typical unit toilet is listed as 3 fixture units. The washing machine can be reduced to 2 fixture units and the toilet needs to be increased to 4 units [1994 AzUPC Table 7-3]. Based on these corrected numbers the transition from 4" to 6" waste pipe in Building # 1 appears correct.

q On Sheet P2.1, there are two sewers leaving the building. It is unclear what the sewer serving 51 fixture units is serving. Please clarify.

q The fixture unit count on Sheet P4.1 coming out of the two sewers on Building #4 does not correlate to the fixture unit schedule on Sheet P8.1. It is off by 70 fixtures. Checking all of the other building in this same way, they all appear not to correlate with the schedule. Please coordinate.

q The numbers match on the two sewers exiting Building #5 as shown on Sheet P5.1. This cannot be since the portions of the buildings served are symmetrical except for the fixtures in the maintenance room, which should offset one of the sewers. Please correct.

q A backwater valve needs to be provided for the sewer that exits the south end of Building #2 [1994 AzUPC Sec. 710.1]. The finished floor of this building is indicated on Sheet 2 of 2 of the private grading plans as 27.70'. The next upstream manhole has a rim of 30.5' according to Sheet 3 of 3 of the private sewer plans. This will affect the 1st floor toilets, bathtubs, and lavatories (with rims below 33.6" above the finished floor). The sewer will have to be split so that fixtures with flood level rims above the manhole do not empty through the backwater valve.

q The sewer which exits Building #4 at the east end also requires the same backwater valve described in the previous comment (with the vertical dimensions being the same as Building #2).

ELECTRICAL:

q Provide a note adjacent to the light pole details on Sheet E1.1 regarding the deferred submittal for the base designs. The deferred submittal drawings and calculations need to be sealed by an engineer registered in the State of Arizona. Further, the deferred submittal needs to be reviewed by the Engineer of Record, then submitted for plan check and approved by the building department [2000 IBC Sec. 106.3.4.2].

q Correct code references. Sheet E3.5 makes reference in Keyed Note 8 to the 1994 UBC Sec. 310.9 (it should reference the 2000 IBC Sec. 907.2.10.2). Sheet E6.1 makes reference at each riser diagram in Keyed Note 1 to the NEC 250-80 (a) Exception (it should make reference to the 1999 NEC Art. 250-104 (a) (2)). Another reference to this article is made on Sheet E6.2 in the multi-meter service schedule. Please check other code references to ensure that all references are to the 1999 NEC.

q Sheet E3.1, E3.2, and E3.3 at Units A, C, G, and E all show an island counter in the kitchen. Island or peninsula counter tops shall have at least one receptacle outlet at each counter space with a long dimension of 24" or greater, and a short dimension of 12" or greater [1999 NEC Art. 210-52(c)(2) and (3)]. All receptacle outlets in kitchens shall also have ground fault circuit interrupting protection, which includes this required counter outlet (and the wall outlet also located in the kitchen) [1999 NEC Art. 210-8].

q There needs to be an additional smoke detector located in the area serving the back bedrooms in Unit A as shown on Sheet E3.1 [2000 IBC Sec. 907.2.10.1.2].
