It appears the gas piping is undersized. If the distance from the gas meter to the most remote outlet is 450 feet, and the total demand load is 2,970,000 Btu/Hr., which equates to 2700 cu.ft./Hr., then CPC Table 1215.2(1) requires a 4” pipe size from the main to the nearest outlet, then it may be sized down based on the resulting demand load down the line.

Please provide an update from the geotechnical engineer to include 2019 CBC provisions. 41. SUP Docs. The results of the Seismic mapping tool using Seismicmaps.org yielded more conservative numbers that what is shown in the calculations and on Sheet S0.1 in the plan set. For example, SDS comes up as 1.543 instead of 1.288 shown in the calculations and Sheet S0.1. It is odd that this has occurred because this office used the same input. Even changing occupancy risk factor to II yielded the more conservative numbers. Please recheck the numbers. Compare them with the Geotechnical Update. Please use the more conservative numbers. Revise the lateral design and plans, as necessary. 42. SUP Docs. Please include the geotechnical engineer information on pages one and two of the Special Inspection form PLG-240. 43. SUP Docs.

Extensions shall return to a wall, guard, or the walking surface, or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight. At the bottom of stair flights, handrails shall extend at the slope of the stair flight for a distance equal to one tread depth beyond the last riser nosing. Such extension shall continue with 12 inches minimum horizontal extension, shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight, or shall return to a wall, guard, or the walking surface. Handrail horizontal extensions shall be in the same direction as the stair flights. CBC 1115A.6.2.4. Handrails projecting from a wall shall have a space of 1 1 /2 inches minimum between the wall and the handrail. Handrails may be located in a recess if the recess is a maximum of 3 inches deep and extends at least 18 inches above the top of the rail. Any wall or other surface adjacent to the handrail shall be free of sharp or abrasive elements. CBC 1115A.5. Exterior stairs serving buildings on a site containing multifamily dwelling units shall have the upper approach and all treads marked by a stripe providing clear visual contrast. The stripe shall be a minimum of 2 inches wide to a maximum of 4 inches wide placed parallel to, and not more than 1 inch from, the nose of the step or upper approach. The stripe shall extend the full width of the step or upper approach and shall be of material that is at least as slip resistant as the other treads of the stair. A painted stripe shall be acceptable. Grooves shall not be used to satisfy this requirement. 3. (See previous correction 2) Please revise the curb ramp details on Sheet C6. All curb ramps shall have a grooved border 12 inches wide at the level surface of the sidewalk along the top and each side approximately ¾ inch on center. All curb ramps constructed between the face of the curb and the street shall have a grooved border at the level surface of the sidewalk. See Figures 11A-3A through 11A-3K. CBC 1112A.8 4. (See previous correction 3) Sheet A1.1. Please include keynote 52 on the plans at the gate locations. Also, revise the note to comply with the following: Gate surfaces within 10 inches of the ground measured vertically shall have a smooth surface on the push side extending the full width of the door or gate.

Review No:3

1. (See previous correction item 1) The handrail detail 11/A1.3a keyed for the accessible ramp does not correspond to the retaining wall conditions shown on Sheet C7. Sheet C7 has a maximum 1.8’ tall (TW 125.0 and BW 123.2) retaining wall on one side of the ramp. The other side of the ramp is above the retained portion, so there is no wall to attach the handrail to. Please provide revised handrail details for the proposed conditions. Alternatively, if a cmu wall is to be constructed on top of the retaining walls, this needs to be clearly detailed on the plans. A section through the ramp should be provided to detail the handrail and cmu wall construction.

2. Please revise new handrail detail 12/A1.3a to comply with the handrail extension and returns per. Also, include striping for visually impaired on this detail.

Extensions shall return to a wall, guard, or the walking surface, or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight. At the bottom of stair flights, handrails shall extend at the slope of the stair flight for a distance equal to one tread depth beyond the last riser nosing. Such extension shall continue with 12 inches minimum horizontal extension, shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight, or shall return to a wall, guard, or the walking surface. Handrail horizontal extensions shall be in the same direction as the stair flights.

CBC 1115A.6.2.4. Handrails projecting from a wall shall have a space of 1 1 /2 inches minimum between the wall and the handrail. Handrails may be located in a recess if the recess is a maximum of 3 inches deep and extends at least 18 inches above the top of the rail. Any wall or other surface adjacent to the handrail shall be free of sharp or abrasive elements.

CBC 1115A.5. Exterior stairs serving buildings on a site containing multifamily dwelling units shall have the upper approach and all treads marked by a stripe providing clear visual contrast. The stripe shall be a minimum of 2 inches wide to a maximum of 4 inches wide placed parallel to, and not more than 1 inch from, the nose of the step or upper approach. The stripe shall extend the full width of the step or upper approach and shall be of material that is at least as slip resistant as the other treads of the stair. A painted stripe shall be acceptable. Grooves shall not be used to satisfy this requirement.

3. (See previous correction 2) Please revise the curb ramp details on Sheet C6. All curb ramps shall have a grooved border 12 inches wide at the level surface of the sidewalk along the top and each side approximately ¾ inch on center. All curb ramps constructed between the face of the curb and the street shall have a grooved border at the level surface of the sidewalk. See Figures 11A-3A through 11A-3K. CBC 1112A.8
