Dear Applicant:

Additional information is required to perform a proper review.  The project referenced above is being held pending submission of the following information:

1.	NOTICE:  Review for compliance with the requirements of the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code has been requested to be performed on behalf of the jurisdiction in which this proposed project is to be located.

In accordance with the fee schedule for Plan Review, a balance of $280.00 is due for submittal of this project based on the criteria established under LRS 40:1574 and LRS 40:1730.39. If the amount identified above is not received within 21 days of the date of this letter, then this project will be returned without the benefit of a review.  Forfeiture of any payment made thus far may apply due to the time and costs incurred in processing the submittal of this project. 

2.	RS 40:1574 and/or RS 40:1730.39.A  Additional drawings and/or specifications are required:

	a)  This office does not review documents noted as 'PRELIMINARY" OR "NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION", as is sheet 1 of 6 of the submittal set. PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT SHEET FOR THIS SET, SO THAT THE SHEET CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE REVIEW DOCUMENTS.

	b)  Floor plan of the existing building in sufficient detail to show the effect of the new work on fire protection of the building such as means of egress and/or occupant load. SUBMITTED PLANS APPEAR TO BE A COMPLETE REBUILD, EXCEPT FOR EXTERIOR WALLS.

	c)  NOTE: IEBC appears to require the work to be classified as LEVEL 3 (Chapter 8), instead of Level 2 noted on the submittal documents. This chapter is distinguished from Chapters 6 and 7 by involving alterations that cover 50 percent of the aggregate area of the building. In contrast, Level 1 alterations do not involve space reconfiguration and Level 2 alterations involve extensive space reconfiguration that do not exceed 50 percent of the building area. 

Due to the lack of information, the referenced project has NOT been reviewed.  Please direct the requested information to my attention.  Processing will continue upon receipt of the information requested above.  Enclose a copy of this letter with future submittals and/or other correspondence pertaining to this project.

This project will be returned as "NOT IN COMPLIANCE" if the requested information is not received by this office within 21 days of the date of this letter, thereby requiring a RESUBMITTAL of the entire project along with a new completed application and appropriate review fee.

CONSTRUCTION IS NOT AUTHORIZED until a satisfactory review has been performed and a formal review letter has been issued by this office.
