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 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~
