SCiFT <br /> BUILDERS.INC. <br /> March 7,2016 <br /> City of Elk River <br /> Building Department <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River,Minnesota 55330 <br /> On behalf of Die Concepts, 13915 Radium St NW, Ramsey, Mn., a building code review <br /> was performed on an existing industrial building located at 18489 Twin Lakes Road, Elk <br /> River,Mn., March 4th,2016 using the current Minnesota Building Code. <br /> The building is an unsprinklered, one story, metal framed structure with an addition that <br /> is a wood framed pole structure. The proposed occupancy group will be an Fl Factory. <br /> Due to this information, the code review used a construction type of IIIB which has a <br /> basic allowable floor area of 12,000 square feet. The current building square footage is <br /> 20,900 square feet. A frontage increase was used to gain more allowable square feet, <br /> because the building has more than 25%of its perimeter on a public way or open space <br /> wider than 20 feet. This increased the allowable floor area to 21,000 square feet, <br /> however in Fl occupancies Fire Areas can't exceed 12,000 square feet,therefore the <br /> building does not meet the current building code for area. A 3 hour Fire Barrier wall <br /> must be constructed within the building to separate the square footage into areas that do <br /> not exceed 12,000 square feet each. <br /> The building also does not meet the current Minnesota Accessibility Code for restrooms. <br /> At least one restroom for men and one for women will need to be constructed or updated <br /> to bring the building into compliance. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the building code review findings. <br /> Regards, <br /> Mike Richgels, AIA <br /> Principal Architect <br /> Scott Builders, Inc. <br /> 12 Division Street <br /> Buffalo, MN 55313 <br /> 763-684-0000 <br /> mrichgels ;scottbuild.com <br />
