Scenario:
Group A Type I building 10' from the lot line. Group A discharges to grade. On the lot line is a retaining wall that starts at grade and extends 6' above the level of discharge. Abutting property is residential.
I'm looking at 2003 IBC 1023.3 and 1023.4. The problem I am having is the exit discharge is not a balcony or stairway. I think I would be stretching it by calling it a ramp.
For the sake of discussion lets say the discharge is perfectly level from the exit door to the street. The only problem is 40 linear feet of this discharge is sandwiched between the Group A building and a 6' retaining wall that is on the lot line between the Group A and the residential property.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
