I .A. Vice President <br /> EOS Architecture <br /> 21 Water Street <br /> Excelsior, MN 55331 <br /> RE: Orono Independent School District #278 <br /> EOS #92161 Orono Student Center <br /> Dear Mr. Haglund, <br /> The City has considered your position on the exiting <br /> requirements of the Uniform Building Code as it pertains to the <br /> proposed addition to the Orono Student Center. After researching <br /> and discussing the issue in-house and with Vermayne (Bert) Bertram <br /> of the MN State Building Codes Division we have decided to accept <br /> your proposal based on the following findings : <br /> 1 . The door in question is located near the exit and <br /> provides an obvious path of travel . <br /> 2 . The corridor meets the requirements of U.B.C. 3305 with <br /> the exception of the ceiling construction which consists of <br /> steel bar joist and 2" wood decking which provides for greater <br /> fire protection and could be considered "heavy timber" as in <br /> U.B.C. Section 2106 (f) . <br /> 3 . The proposed addition is provided with adequate exiting <br /> and therefore the exit in question is not a "required exit" . <br /> 4 . The proposed exits will be provided with exit signage <br /> while the door in question will not . <br /> 5 . The building is protected by a fire sprinkler system. <br /> In regards to the fire alarm system discussion I had with <br /> Brian McCarty, enclosed is a copy of a MN State Amendment to U.B.C. <br /> 809 . <br /> • <br /> TELEPHONE-473-7357•FAX-473-0510 <br />
