This inspection was done to get a better understanding of what would be needed to be done to lease this structure. My findings are hsted under the following three categories, lease driven, building code comphance, and building code design. The lease driven category is geared toward cosmetics, as to what we need to do to bring the appearance of this building up to comphance. The building code compliance category is in reference to what needs to be done to the building to comply with current codes. The building code design category deals with the design of the building for what type of occupancy will be going into the building. My findings regarding the aforementioned items are as follows: Lease Driven Items Remove all awnings from the exterior building, which represent North Bound Liquor. Once removed the facia should be repaired to either a new metal skin or match existing stucco, which is on the building. Removal of the walk-in coolers. Once these coolers have been removed, repairs on the exterior wall shall be required. These repairs should be done by stuccoing the exterior or by metal. A mechanical contractor should evaluate the two LennoxTM heaters in the lower level. These units should have an orset test done for carbon monoxide. In addition, they should be cleaned. Clean, disinfect, and paint the mold on the east wall of the lower level. · Have a sprinkler contractor evaluate the sprinkler system for compliance. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 Building Code Compliance Provide a 1:20 ramp from the parking lot area to the main sidewalk going to the main door. This ramp shall be a 1:20 slope. In addition, it shall be a shp resistant material. · Provide handicap parking signs. These parking signs shall be per the State Handicap Code. Provide male and female handicap bathrooms per the State Handicap Code. These bathrooms should be installed prior to occupancy, however, should be addressed once there is a known occupant for this building so the bathrooms can be placed in a convenient location that will coincide with the design for that use. · Provide a 1:12 ramp going to the office area. Provide a second exit from the building. This exit shall be a distance of ½ the diagonal of the building, minimum. Again, this exit can wait until the occupant is determined since this second exit is based out of total occupant load. · Repair and/or replace emergency exit signs and emergency lighting. · Provide a second exit from the lower level to the exterior of the building. Building Code Design · An elevator and/or ramp is required if the basement will be used for something other than storage. When a tenant moves into this building, because of the square footage, an architectural design shall be required for such occupancies such as offices, restaurants, etc. A mechanical design with a mechanical engineer sign-off shall be required, if the occupant group changes from what it originally was designed for. The aforementioned items are areas of the code that will need to be addressed. However, many of these items should be addressed when plans are being developed for the change in the occupancy group so that the corrections do not interfere with the design. s:\b&z\cliffXcs 10-13.doc gVatz Up? cafe club Presentation to Elk River City Council Now~mber 24, 1997 club Thank You Business Overview Pertinent Issues Questions Wat:z l, Jp? cafe club Business Overview Our Mission: Watz Up? caf~ club is a safe, chemically-f~.ca~ and. entertai .n~.ent club ~or youth ~r/and surrounding co. mmunmes to hang-o-rb'-a~n~exPress theh~selves.
