James Robert Stutzman, AIA, CSI, NCARB, RID Vice President; Senior Principal Architect PEDCOR DESIGN GROUP, LLC 355 City Center Drive Carmel, Indiana 46032 From: James Stutzman <jrs@pedcor.net> Date: Monday, August 24, 2020 at 1:48 PM To: "planreview@dhs.in.gov" <planreview@dhs.in.gov> Cc: Jim Blanchard <jblanchard@carmel.in.gov>, Jodi Harder <joharder@pedcor.net>, James Stutzman <jrs@pedcor.net> Subject: LA PEEP - CARMEL Plan Review Branch IDHS / Division of Fire and Building Safety 302 West Washington Street, Room E245 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Re: EXEMPTION FROM STATE FILING REQUEST Project: LA PEEP - CARMEL Suite 109 200 South Rangeline Road Carmel, Indiana 46032 To IDHS Plan Review: This letter is to request an Exemption from State Filing based on 675 IAC 12-6-4 and allow direct permitting through the City of Carmel. The attached drawings represent a tenant remodeling project on the ground floor level of the Indiana Design Center on Rangeline Road in Carmel, Indiana. The tenant, LA PEEP, is a Group A-2 Occupancy (Restaurant); Type II-B Construction and occupying 2,634 square feet. The initial tenant build-out for this space was BLUE MOON CAFÉ. A CDR under IDHS Project number 323831 was issued on 02.16.07. Blue Moon has been in operation since that time. The Occupant count remains the same at 175. The new tenant LA PEEP – CARMEL wishes to operate a similar restaurant with only minor interior remodeling consisting of partial removal of non-load-bearing walls, new and relocated store fixtures and relocation of some light fixtures and receptacles on existing branch circuits. The Project is of a minor scope of work and involves no structural or mechanical modifications. Electrical modifications include only relocation of some existing light fixtures and some duplex outlets on existing branch circuits. Four (4) new duplex outlets are to be added. No new electrical loading will be introduced and no new circuits are necessary. There is no change in area, occupancy or life safety paths or alarm system. Therefore, I am requesting approval for direct filing of construction documents by the Contractor with the Carmel Building Department for local permitting. As always, I and my staff of architects at Pedcor Design Group will be providing construction observation during the construction work and will report to the Owner any observed deficiencies or variations in the work as represented in the documents submitted for permits.
