Bob McKinney (Ada County) ###-####, they need to remove one H/S (correction notice from Troy see activities) as it is mounted too high. They want to increase the candela rating for a single H/S. Doesn't afford appropriate coverage, but the solution that will work is to increase two H/S to 110 cd. (the 30cd on the column and the 75 on the east wall of the reception/lobby space). I have marked up the issued plans and will notify Troy Cobbley (BC) and Rick Groom (Northwest Sales) of the agreement. Revised (as-built) plans will be required from Northwest Sales to the owner. (NFPA 72). Any resubmittals required for the city will be designated by the inspector.
