Mr. Lamb,
The following is our response to your review comments on the above referenced project.

Comment: 1.Per Sections 1103.2.2 and 3409 of the 2009 NC Building Code, when alterations are made to an area
( of primary function alterations shall be made to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel to that
i altered area is also made accessible unless the cost of such path of travel alterations is disproportionate to the cost of
€ the alteration to the area of primary function. Costs associated with providing an accessible path of travel shall be
deemed disproportionate to the overall alteration when the cost exceeds 20 %. If all elements in chapter 11 are not to
be made fully accessible, documentation shall be provided to verify expenditures. The accessible route to the
primary function area shall include toilet facilities serving the area of primary function per Section 3409.7 of the
