Second Plan Review

 1.  Please provide a cost of installing a ramp to comply with accessibility to the restroom and breakroom areas, as an alternate to installing a lift.  The minimum ramp length would be 14 ft., excluding landings, based on a 14" difference in elevations.  A 6' long landing at the bottom of the ramp would be needed. 

2.  Plans specify a van accessible space, at least note a sign that says "van" to imply there is a van accessible space.  However, the minimum unloading/loading aisle required for a van accessible space is 8 feet.  If there is another parking space in the lot that serves this shopping area that complies with van access, then a 5 ft. minimum aisle is sufficient.  (CBC 1129B)

Correction notes redlined on plans: 

-Accessible merchant counter area to be minimum 36" wide, with counter height 28" to 34" high per CBC 1122B.

-80" clearance to the underside of parking signage per CBC 1129B.4.
