as the stair risers are less than or equal to 7- inches in height as detailed in equation 4 -1, <br /> OSSC section 1004.3.2.3.1. <br /> Does section 1008.5.5 take precedence for the cross aisle width in bleachers? This would allow a <br /> cross aisle of a minimum of 54 inches or the "greatest of the minimum required widths as <br /> determined by 1004.3.2" which would still be 9 feet wide. <br /> OSSC section 1008.5.5 does take precedence for the cross aisle width, however the language <br /> "...of the minimum required widths as specified in section 1004.3.2..." includes section <br /> 1004.3.2.3.1 which does require that cross aisle width not be Tess than the combined <br /> converging aisle widths. The cross aisle is required to be the combined total of the aisles <br /> served. <br /> Are there other code provisions or exceptions to allow for narrower aisles and cross aisle? <br /> No, there are no other provisions /exceptions to allow such a request.

This includes an accessible stair, entrance, <br /> and Area of Rescue Assistance.

OSSC Appendix 2905 exception 2 allows <br /> restroom facilities to be located in adjacent buildings on the same site except in the case of a <br /> restaurant, dining establishment or where patrons have paid a fee for attendance and will <br /> remain in the building for an extended period of time. The proposed facilities fall in the last <br /> category of this exception and therefore must have restroom facilities included when <br /> constructed.
