HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE: LeSchwab 354 Union Ave. N.Rob & Angelea,
Thanks for bringing these issues to me before final submittals are made. I’ve added it’s address to the Subject line. In response to your questions, 1) upgrades to the building are
unnecessary so long as there is not a change of occupancy. All new construction must comply with the current code. 2) Besides a building permit, an electrical permit, a mechanical
permit, and a plumbing permit will be required. I’ve looked at the Modernization Scope and in it the Warehouse restroom will need to be accessible, the sink at the public coffee bar
cannot exceed 34”, if there is to be a sink in the breakroom it needs to be 34” h max., the new sink in the warehouse should also be locate at this height. Pay attention to the 48”
wall surface of 1209.2.2. 3) My understanding is that the 2018 code will start in 2018. 4) Since this is not a change in occupancy additional fire separation walls are not required.
Table 508.4 does not require a fire wall between the show room (B) and the service bays (S-1). 5) The new entry doors should me the minimum U value of 0.60 (Table C402.3) and I am
in agreement that the existing sab for the new semi-conditioned service bays does not have to be removed to install under slab insulation.

Rick, Please see page 7 of the attached document. Is these questions that can be easily answered without some sort of plans to look at? Can you please provide responses to these questions
ASAP so I can get them to Angelea prior to her meeting at 2?
Thanks,

Hey Rob,
For my preapp on Thursday, the applicant has several building department related questions. See attached. The preapp is not until 2 pm on Thursday, so there will be some time after the
holiday. Would you like to attend to answer or would you like to answer those questions in a memo and I can read the answers? if you have an alternative response, let me know.
Thanks,
Angelea Weihs
