RE: Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church Addition & Remodel
4501 South Lemay Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado 80525
Allred Project #1026
Dear Russ,.
g'I022so
Per your plan review comment letter for permit #B1102250, 4501 S'. Lemay, the. Spirit of Joy
Lutheran Church Addition & Remodel your item #1 indicates the following:
"City records show this to be a type V-A (1-hour) building. Please submit plans showing
how the new structural frame will be protected for 1-hour."
The existing structure was designed per a previous Uniform Building Code (UBC). Per the City
of Fort Collins current building codes the new addition and remodel is designed per the current
2009 International Building Code (IBC). Per the 2009 IBC a.type V-B (non rated) Group A=3
structure can be 6,000 square feet in size. In addition the current code further allows a type W
B, Group A-3 structure to increase the allowable square footage by 75% of the buildings
allowable square footage due to the Frontage Increase per section 506.2 (or 6,000 square feet
plus 4,500 square feet, to get a new allowable building area of 10,500 square feet). Our project
team has designed the existing structure remodel and new addition to the current 2009 IBC
allowable area of less than'10,500 square feet. Currently, the existing structure remodel and
new addition is 10,491 square feet in area.
Therefore, our project team is requesting a re-classification. of the current building and new
addition from a Type V=A (1-hour)_ structure to a new Type V-B (non rated) existing structure
remodel and new addition.
Our project team greatly appreciates your consideration and response to our request. if
there are any further clarifications or questions that you may have, please do not
hesitate to contact our office.
