Dear Kristi
After my site visit to your building to investigate the pool area to determine the required rating
of the doors I found that the following is needed.
1) The door at the bottom on the stairs is the only door required to be rated and must
have a 90 minute fire rating and if glass is installed in the door, it too must comply with
the code requirements.
2) All exit doors must have panic hardware, exit lights, and illumination for exiting per the
building code.
3) The other 4 doors are not required to be rated, but the sauna and bathroom doors are
required to have lever handles.
Regarding the main entry a ramp would be required and there are many code requirements to
be met in the design of such a structure. I recommend you contact an architect to design this
entry.
Regarding the maximum number of occupants in a residential structure it is limited to 1
occupant per 200 square feet. I have enclosed the code section addressing this requirement.
Please contact me if you should have any further questions.
Thank you,
