04/30/2012 DAN SANTA CRUZ ELECTRICAL-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Approved This review includes the residetial, common [amenities] areas.
Dan Santa Cruz
05/01/2012 CARL SCHULTZ FIRE REVIEW Denied 1.The Fire and Life Safety sheets need to have a legend identifying the rated walls and their locations.
2. FLS00g code summary page mentins 2010 IBC. That code does not exist and the 2006 is the code in effect in the City of Tucson. Both buildings are required to have an automatic fire sprinkler system designed to NFPA 13. NFPA 13R systems are not allowed to be used for area increases or height increases. Revise all indications that an occupancy classification does not require sprinklers, the entire building is required to be fire sprinklered to NFPA 13 standards.
3. Sheets A101g and sheet FLS01g do not match with regards to exit door locations. Please revise.
4. The code section 504.2 exception (1) does not apply to this project.
05/01/2012 CARL SCHULTZ FIRE REVIEW Denied Corrections noted are:
1. Provide approval of the Alternative materials, design, and methods request from the Building Code Officail as indicated on sheet FLS00g
2. Indicate on site plan that 3,750 GPM for 4 hours is the required fire flow and show 4 hydrants that are available or the ones to be added to have the minimum 4.
3. Remove any comments about automatic sprinklers not being required. The entire structure is required to be protected with an approved NFPA 13 sprinkler system and it is confusing that sheet FLS00g is indicating certain occupancies are not required to have this protection.
4. Exception 2 under Section 905 on sheet FLS00g is incorrect.
5. On sheet FLS01g level 1- the sliding door is not approved for exiting. Revise plans.
6. All doors shall swing in the direction of exit travel when serving occupant loads over 50 per IFC 1008.1.2. Please revise.
7. More exit signs are required. Show the additional exit signs in stairwells and corridors that are required.
8. On sheet FLS01g Level 2 Stairwell-(GS2) and A521G I cannot figure out how the interior stairwell connects to the exterior exit staircase and how the fire rating is being maintained to the exit.
9. Exit signs shall be added per IFC 1011.1 and indicate that tactile signs will also be provided per IFC 1011.3.
10. Explain why the vertical exit enclosure (GS1) is provided but it does not exit to exterior of building on Level 1 on sheet FLS01g. See IFC 1019.3
11. Indicate the location of egress lighting and the method on the Fire and Life Safety Pages.
12. Indicate on the Fire and Life Safety Pages the stairway or stairways that have roof access.
13. Indicate elevator car size per IBC 3002.4
14. Revise or provide a legend for the fire rated walls indicated on the FLS pages.

05/10/2012 ROBERT SHERRY WATER REVIEW Denied Clarify the size of the water meters to be used for this building. The calculations on sheet P401g call for three 2" water meters to serve a demand of 300 GPM and sheet P201Ag calls out a 4" water meter for the same demand. In addition, sheet P201Ag also shows another 2" water meter to serve a different 100 GPM demand (149 GPM on sheet P401g). Tucson Water limits a 2" meter to a maximum demand of 80 GPM and does not allow the use of manifolded water meters. Verify the sizes of the water meters to be used with Tucson Water and coordinate the drawings and calculations.
