Notes:
1453 SQ FT, CALT / 3RD FLOOR CORRIDOR
8/10/2006 12:00:00 AM
PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS AND REQUIREMENTS:
1. The corridor is required to be 1-hour fire rated construction as required by City of Frisco amendments and in 2003 IBC section 707.14.1 elevator is required to be separated FROM the exit access FIRE RATED CORRIDOR by an elevator lobby, exception #4 is only allowed if corridor is NOT rated and sprinkler system is provided. THEREFORE provide a wall constructed as 1-hour fire partition and door with 20 minutes fire protection between elevator lobby and fire rated corridor. Comply as noted on plan.
2. The plan shows a door opening at north side of the elevator lobby and the code doesn't allow access to a space which is a potential area that could build a rapid fire and smoke, in this scenario an elevator lobby is a space where the possibility of rapid built up of fire and smoke could happen. THEREFORE no opening is allowed, in which the intent is an access from a space into the elevator lobby.
3. The doors in the exit stairways shall have a minimum width of 42" which the plans doesn't comply. Need to check in the field if complies if not it must be put into compliance.
4. Fire/smoke dampers shall be installed in the penetration of the required fire partition wall between the elevator lobby and fire rated corridor.
5. Provide exit light/sign on both sides of the doors blocking the exit access corridor.
6. Provide electrical plan (lighting, power and riser diagram).
