I have the following comments: 1) Exiting-For the purpose of exiting, I feel we should consider the bleachers and the ice sheet area as 2 separate A-occupancies. The bleacher exiting meets the requirements of the code; however, I would like you to address the following code requirements for the ice sheet area: A) UBC 1003.1 - Requires 4 exits for occupant loads over 1,000. B) UBC 1003.2 - Exit widths. C) UBC 1003.3 - Arrangement of exits. D) UBC 1016.1 -Group A,main exits. The exit through the lobby will serve the bleachers but I don't feel it is appropriate as the main exit for the ice sheet unless there is a stairway directly off the ice sheet to the exit. The other option would be to use the "players entrance" area for the main exit off the ice sheet area. 2) Plumbing fixture requirements - I agree with your calculations; however, I do not have the authority or do I feel it is appropriate to waive building code requirements. Perhaps the area that was designated for showers could be used for the extra fixtures. Increasing the occupant load will also affect the S.A.C. determination and the City connection charges.
