Business Occupancy
Minimum Construction Type V-B
Automatic Fire Suppression
County Supervisors’ board/meeting room has a raised platform where the supervisors will sit and conduct business in the board/meeting room. Visitors will be seated in front of the platform. Room is under 750-sf.
Entrance to board/meeting room is accessible. Will an accessible ramp be required to access the raised platform where the Supervisors are seated? I do not think the raised platform qualifies for an employee work area as defined in the accessible definitions.
References to relative Code Sections would be welcome.
