# PLAN CHECK COMMENTS REFERENCE
1. Comment:
It appears that the common path of travel has been exceeded in this space per Table
1006.2.1 for an M occupancy. As detail regarding the mall exit corridor was not provided, I
will need the following clarification:
a.It appears that the mall exit corridor travels in to the adjoining tenant space. If
this is the case, this cannot be considered an exit please clarify.
Response:
Only one exit is provided through door #1. Exit sign at door #2 has been removed. The
common path of travel has been corrected and is now in compliance with the maximum
common path of egress travel distance of 75-0.

3. Comment:
It appears that the COMcheck cites the 2009 IECC this document needs to comply with
the 2015 IECC for this project. In addition, it appears that, an office occupancy is being
used to complete the COMcheck when this occupancy has been proposed as an M
occupancy please clarify. Also, what information is being used in order to exempt the
interior lighting from complying with the 2015 IECC?
Response:
COMcheck revised to show full compliance under 2015 IECC. Space description corrected
to show retail instead of office.
