~.141 Damon Road :; IIEPU"I.IUILDING':.~ Northampton, MA 21 June 2011 Louis Hasbrouck, Building Commissioner Northampton City Hall 212 Main Street Northampton, MA 01060 Mr. Hasbrouck:
I have walked thru the Curves franchise on Damon Road and the adjacent space and fmd the space and the adjacent space suitable for combining into one large Curves. The retail building
(use group B) was constructed for this purpose and maintains many safety features including proper Exit locations and signage, proper battery-backup emergency egress lighting, and proper
Accessible features. The building is CMU exterior and wood framed separation walls (type III B construction). The non-:-structural wall separating the spaces will be opened by installation
ofthree 6 foot wide openings. One other alteration is being considered which is to address sound sound attenuation to the left adjacent tenant. My recommendation is to add one layer
Y2" Gypsum wallboard (for sound transfer deadening) and/or one layer acoustical board (for in space sound absorption) and relocate any features properly. The surface treatment for any
finish materials shall meet class C fire spread (class A at Exit enclosure and passage). This work proposed is ofa non-structural and minor nature, and will not diminish . the health
or safety ofthe pUblic. This work will not require construction control. Sincerely Jeffrey Scott penn~
