The walls are within 5 feet of the Property Line and assumed to be protected both sides. See attached revised drawings. The current East and West walls are noted as Wall Type W8. A. Wall Description: The contractor has used a 6" -18 ga. metal stud ~ 16" OC that is connected to the CMU base and roof/floor trusses that it bypasses(adequate structural fastenings were installed per the engineer). The extedor face is 3 %" clay bdck masonry, attached with metal ties every 8th course. The air gap is %~ and the cavity is faced with an extedor '~' non-rated gypsum board screw fastened at 12" OC. The wall will have a R-13 fiberglass batt. The interior face will be sheathed with (2)-layers of Type "X" Gypsum Board, staggered joints, taped, and nailed at 8" OC. B. Reasoning for its Use: Per Table 720.4.1(2) under the last citing, a similar steel beadng wall with veneer bdck is described with the interior using 1' cement plaster. As this wall is rated for 2-hour it is more than adequate (need only 1-hr), but as we do not have the inner %" sheathing rated, we feel the 2-layers of 5/8" Type 'X' is still prudent to effect protection and integrity of the metal stud from fire on the intedor side. The current North or rear wall is now noted W10., original note was Wla & Wlb. A. Wall Description: The contractor has used a 6' -18 ga. metal stud @ 16" OC. that is connected to the CMU base, bypasses the second floor framing (supported by other interior load beadng studs) and which supports the roof truss ends. The exterior face of stud will have a 5/8" Fire Guard Dens Glass Gypsum Product screw fastened at 8" OC) with an EIFS system applied to outside. The wall will have a R- 13 fiberglass batt. The interior face will be sheathed with (1)-layer of Type "X" Gypsum Board, staggered joints, taped, and screwed at 8" OC. Reasoning for its Use: Per UL U468 or Table 719.1(2) 150-1.11 or U465, we fee! the substitution of the UL labeled Fire Guard product will meet the intent of the assembly cited. The contractor will need to infill the "truss gaps" where the roof trusses penetrate the assembly with studs and Type "X" 5/8" ~NCARB Architect I D 3 A T e c h n ~e K r a f t A Joint Venture Company (317) 251-4976 Voice (317) 251-7254 Fax (317) 432-4875 Cell jeffsipe~prodigy, net 1NDIANA GOVERNMENT CENTER SO~ 4o2 w WASHINGTON ST~ E2~ ww~vlstate:inius/sema Professional Me~cal Offi6b Meeha~eal ~ Ail Abgve ~t ~er (.~pec/fv) · projeCt height or~ m~ed by the ADDENDUM APPLICATION State Form 28284 (R2 / 3-95) Return to: INDIANA DEPARTMEN"I' OF FIRE AND BUILDING SERVICES PLAN REVIEW DIVISION OFFICE OF THE STATE BUILDING COMMISSIONER INDIANA GOVERNMENT CENTER SOLrFH 4(Y2 W WASHINGTON ST RM E245 INDIANAPOLIS IN 46204-2739 www.s~ate,in.us/sema PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY Brad Subrin dba Leechco Properties, LLC Address (site laca~on, number and street) Phone Number C/OBradSubrin 1344SouthRangeLineRoad Carmel, IN 46032 (317) 848-9081 Signature of 1)csign Professional (if required) Architect / Engineer Number Charles R.
