RE: Openings in guard railings
Dear Mr. Lenz,
This letter; is being written as a matter of record for the mezzanine guardrail work being performed at
Suite 100 for the Mulcahy Expansion project.
According to Exception #3 of IBC Section 1013.3, in areas not open to the public, within this occupancy
of S-1, openings between balusters, horizontal intermediate rails or other components of the guard rail
system shall be constructed such that a sphere with a diameter of 21 inches shall not pass through any
opening.
The tenant involved has stated that their warehouse employees will be the only personnel accessing the
storage mezzanine area. Therefore, the reference on the submitted building permit documents that refers
to guardrail with "balusters at 4" on center" shall be understood by all parties as deleted and superseded
with the requirement as follows: "42" high guardrail with balusters and horizontal components such that
no sphere of 21" may pass through ". Guardrails shale l be constructed at all sides which are open to below.
