Have a project getting started here that is being built under the '99 boca (don't get me started...).
Basically, this building is Group R2, Type 5B, 2-story, slab on grade, 12 units (6 per floor). ICC did the initial review, and now I'm addressing the "fixes" the RDP made to their comments. I'm not fluent in this code, and only have it electronically, so my re-review is going slowly.
My first issue is this mechanical closet:
Can they stack the washer and dryer in front of the w.h. and furnace like that? Everything is electric, no gas in the building. Where would this be addressed?
Second question:
I'm not liking this foundation wall detail. Would not the framing/sheeting below grade need to be treated? And does/won't the foundation wall/retaining wall need some sort of lateral support, especially since the only dimension on the plan is "Varies"?
Thanks for any insight. I'll have more if we get these whooped.
