Dear Mr. Lamb: g

Moser Mayer Phoenix Associates has received and evaluated the comments related
to the proposed Verizon Renovation Project and is responding to each comment.
1. Sheet ALL, Appendix B: The floor area per occupant for mercantile, grade level i
is 30 square feet gross per Table 1004.1 of the 2009 NC Building Code.
Response: We have changed our figure of 60gsf/person to 30 and have added
a line for the back of house occupancy based on the most
restrictive figure of 100gsf /person. The occupancy has increased.
Please note we had intended to provide 2 exits due to the path of
travel distance, but had not identified the rear door as an exit.
2. Sheet ALL and ELP1.1: Two exits are required per Section 1019.2 of the 2009 s
NC Building code. The appendix, exit requirements show two exits. However,
only one exit is designated with exit lights /signs. 3 2 8 E a s t

Response: Our reflected ceiling plan and electrical drawings now show the S u i t e z 0 0
required exit signs directing the occupants to 2 separate exits. G r e e n s b o r o

5. Sheet P1.1: The minimum diameter for waste piping underground is 2 inches per footnote F tQ 1
Table 710.1(2) of the 2009 NC Building Code. The waste piping form the lavatories to the
building drain is shown to be 1-1/2 inches.
Response: 1 -'/z" diameter waste piping underground is now changed to 2" waste
underground on sheet P1.1.
6. Sheet P1.1: The dry vent upstream of the two water closets does not comply with Section 905.4 i
of the 2009 NC Building Code.
Response: Detail 5/P1.1 has been added to show a 4" combination Y & eighth bend with a
horizontal to vertical rise of 90 degrees reducing to a 2" vent vertically to
comply with Section 905.4 of the 2009 Code.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are additional items that need to be addressed. We look
