Upon reviewing Table 3-D of the UBC regarding Exempt amounts of Hazardous <br /> Materials, I believe we fall within the exempt amounts. So I think we can remain Group E. <br /> However, in Requirements for Group E Occupancies; Section 305.2.4 Special hazards states: <br /> Laboratories,vocational shops and similar areas containing hazazdous materials shall <br /> separated from each other and from other portions of the building by not less than a one-hour fire <br /> resistive occupancy sepazation. <br /> So here we will be providing a one hour occupancy separation along the North wall of the <br /> Sculpture area. This will be a One-hour separation with a roll down fire-shutter for the door on <br /> that wall. We will not be using that door for exiting so I believe it is ok to use a shutter there. <br /> (See included sketch.) <br /> The second concern was about the building separation between the new building and existing <br /> building during construction. At the nearest location( see included site plan)the new building <br /> will be 20'-5" from the existing building. According to Table 5-A UBC for Type II N <br /> construction, we only need nonrated noncombustible walls and no requirement for openings. I <br /> believe the existing building is Type II N as well, so it should have the same requirements. <br /> Please let me know if the Orono Code has any special requirements for multiple buildings on one <br /> site. If the existing building is Group E Type IIN construction we may be able to consider the <br />
