Dear Mr. Hellman,
I have reviewed the building permit application submitted for renovations to the Cutlery Building
at 320 Riverside Drive.
I have approved the permit. Some of the plan details are not clear. The fire separations for the
residential area must be constructed as fire barriers in accordance with IBC section 707. The exit
enclosure must be constructed in accordance with IBC section 709. The doors to the exit enclosure
must be 1 hour rated in accordance with IBC section 715.4. You must submit sprinkler relocation and
fire alarm plans to the fire department and obtain the required permits from them. The fire department
must inspect the work and sign off prior to the building department’s final inspection, and the sprinkler
system must have current inspection paperwork prior to a certificate of occupancy.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Louis Hasbrouck
Building Commissioner
