RE: Tabaraa Mountain Lodge Area Separation Wall and Roof Openings
Dear Will:
This letter is written to clarify our understanding of your requirements for mechanical
penetrations adjacent to the 2-hour area separation wall at the Taharaa Mountain Lodge,
3110 South Highway 7.
Cornerstone Construction alerted us that you had advised that mechanical penetrations
were permissible within 10 feet of the area separation wall. UBC Section 504.6.6
exception 3 states that a ten foot separation is required for openings in the lower roof. It
is our understanding that your interpretation is that a mechanical penetration is not an
opening and that a 10 foot separation is not required. We will inform the contractor that
this separation is not required unless you advise to the contrary. Please let us know if we
should proceed otherwise.
Respectfully,
e44
