unlimited area provisions permitted by code.
Allowable Building Area
The existing shopping center consists of Group M Occupancies, Type V -B construction,
one story slab on grade, fully sprinklered having unlimited area as permitted by IBC 507.
Aa = At + [At If/100] + [AtIs/1001
N /A, designer will utilize unlimited area provisions permitted by IBC 507.
Occupant Load: 950 Exits Required: 3(retail) Minimum Exit Width Req'd: 142.50"
Exits provided: 3 (retail) Exit width provided: >142.50"
No separation required between the retail (M) area and storage (S -2) area. The Kowalski
Market area is a nonseparated use and designed to the most restrictive use requirements of
Groups M and S -2 occupancies.
No separation required between the retail area and incidental storage areas ( <10 %).
The architectural and structural documents for the project described above have been
reviewed for substantial compliance with the 2003 Minnesota State Building Code. The
following (attached) nonstructural comments, based on the 2000 International Building
Code, as amended by the 2003 Minnesota State Building Code, shall be resolved before
construction authorization is issued. The architect or engineer of record shall respond by
letter of verification and submittal revised construction documents, addenda's or change
order's; or with the additional submittal of required shop drawings that clearly identify
that said corrections have been made as required by this plan review report.
This plan review report is a "nonstructural" code analysis based on the current 2003
Minnesota State Building Code. Although every attempt has been made to identify "code
issues" or "concerns" for proper and necessary change, the project designer(s), the
building contractor(s) and the property owner(s) are ultimately responsible for providing
complete code compliance and maintaining minimum construction standards for the
safeguarding of life or limb, health, public welfare and property.
