INC. 651 702 9364 <br /> 36 <br /> • CASTLE INSPECTION SERVICE <br /> C'Asrte Con AMas iNc.-2440 LiNw000 CougT-MAPLxwoco..MN 55119.. . <br /> January 18, 2001 <br /> Mr.Carlos Baldovinos, c/o <br /> 1 Earl Weikle& Sons <br /> 2514 24th Avenue South <br /> Mpls., MN 55406 <br /> Plan Review Comments based on the 1998 Minnesota State Building Code <br /> Project Name: Fitness Crossroad Architect: Dave Kerwen, 420249 <br /> Project Number: n/a Engineer: n/a <br /> Address: 2912 Pentagon Dr. Contractor: Earl Weikle& Sons <br /> Occupancy Classification: A-3 Construction Type: I1-N <br /> The items listed in this report are not intended to be a complete listing of all possible code requirements, nor does this <br /> report relieve the contractor from the responsibility of compliance with all applicable State and local codes and <br /> ordinances. <br /> 1. I am allowing the existing concrete block wall at-the north side of the space to be used-.as a 2 hour area separation. <br /> wall.-The wall at the south side "of the space is of frame construction in some areas,filed in below the existing <br /> column/bealn line. This wall cannot be of combustible construction in a type II building. It also must either be a <br /> rated occupancy or area separation with protected openings, or the entire adjacent space will need to considered as <br /> a part of the fitness center. Please advise how you wish to handle this. <br /> 2. Note that I am classifying the type of construction as 11-N as opposed to your submittal of 1I-1 Hour. With 2 hour <br /> area walls, this space alone will meet the area requirements of UBC Chapter 5. If you choose to include the <br /> adjacent space to the south as part of this project, either now or in the future,you will need to provide your <br /> calculations for compliance with the applicable allowable area requirements. If you intending to provide 1 hour <br /> protection of all structural members.,or use the fire sprinklers as a substitution for same, please advise. <br /> 3. Your request to defer the submittal of the HVAC plans is approved, however keep in mind the plans must be <br /> designed and signed by a Minnesota registered engineer. They must also include a structural engineer's signature if <br /> rooftop equipment is involved. <br /> 4. Also plans for plumbing installations must be submitted to the Minnesota Department of Health for their review <br /> and approval prior to issuance of a plumbing permit by the City of St. Anthony. <br /> 5. Please provide your calculations for the required number of plumbing fixtures based on the requirements of UBC <br /> Appendix Chapter 29. By my calculations you are a couple of fixtures short. <br /> 6. Occupant toad signs must be posted near the main exits for the child care room and the main exercise area per <br /> UBC Sect I007.2.6. Since you did not provide the occupant loads, I have calculated them as 25 and 176 <br /> respectively. <br /> 7. The rear exit door must also be equipped with compliant panic hardware. <br /> 8. All doors shall comply with MSBC Chapter 1341, handicap accessibility, with regard to clearance, opening width, <br /> hardware thresholds, etc. <br /> • <br /> Puraw 6S1-731-7881 Ftir:6S1-702-9364 <br />
