Here is a stupid questions.
CT building code based off IBC 2015 and ANSI 117.1 2009
front approach pull side clearance appears to be 18". I don't see any modification to that in the CT Amendments. and push side is zero, or 12" with closer and latch. Can someone please confirm my stupidity here....
I just realized my drafter who just left has been drawing 12" pull side.....
 
Not an IBC person but the 12" and 18" you described is consistent with the CBC and accessibility codes for interior doors.
