Building Code Compliance Provide a 1:20 ramp from the parking lot area to the main sidewalk going to the main door. This ramp shall be a 1:20 slope. In addition, it shall be a shp resistant material. · Provide handicap parking signs. These parking signs shall be per the State Handicap Code. Provide male and female handicap bathrooms per the State Handicap Code. These bathrooms should be installed prior to occupancy, however, should be addressed once there is a known occupant for this building so the bathrooms can be placed in a convenient location that will coincide with the design for that use. · Provide a 1:12 ramp going to the office area. Provide a second exit from the building. This exit shall be a distance of ½ the diagonal of the building, minimum. Again, this exit can wait until the occupant is determined since this second exit is based out of total occupant load. · Repair and/or replace emergency exit signs and emergency lighting. · Provide a second exit from the lower level to the exterior of the building. Building Code Design · An elevator and/or ramp is required if the basement will be used for something other than storage. When a tenant moves into this building, because of the square footage, an architectural design shall be required for such occupancies such as offices, restaurants, etc. A mechanical design with a mechanical engineer sign-off shall be required, if the occupant group changes from what it originally was designed for. The aforementioned items are areas of the code that will need to be addressed. However, many of these items should be addressed when plans are being developed for the change in the occupancy group so that the corrections do not interfere with the design. s:\b&z\cliffXcs 10-13.doc
