But there's more to it, she said, than just putting new establishments at the corner of Eighth and Ohio, "Everything that we're doing is praying homage to the old Zales Building -- Morris Zoles himself for being such ca visionary for our community 100 years age and also Wichita Falls, who we are and where we came from, "she said, "t think a lot of people hove forgotten wheat a crucial, quintessential role we played in North Texas history," Schacter said she has been thinking about expanding Canache and having a fine -dining restaurant for roughly the post year. She said she looked at various places downtown to make that dream become reality, but really didn't faded anything that suited her vision, and many required quite a bit of work to get it up to coda 7' C;f,lf 7"'v,)d ' fVQ, r Is{f ( fr lf •zs r, a,.it ..r rt .`�-.r'1{rz.,, xxtr„;� 2412 Jack Ste, B, Parker Square SC Wichita Falls TX. 76308 Amber Schacter, President 940-2 0-1989 That's when she was iapproached by developer Andy Lee of Andy Lee Co. she said she looked at the Zales Building and fell in love with the rich history. Major work to the building — including its beautiful art nouveau facade, tin ceiling tiles and prism cut glass window - having been completed was definitely attractive to her. She said she crunched some numbers to make sure the idea made financial sense, took the weekend to think it over, and decided this was the time and place to fulfill her dreamt.

The inside shell is what's going to need all the work, but the fact that the outside is so beautiful •-- they've dealt with the code when it comes to (American Disabilities Act), the sidewalks and the doors and replacing the windows - giving me a finished exterior makes it financially feasible to finish up the interior and move forward. The Carat Bar and bistro will occupy the space directly on the corner of Eighth and Ohio. Schoctersaaid she has plans to seat about 60 patrons in that area at tables and the bar. A portion of the mezzanine will be extended and enclosed to serve as storage space and heating and air conditioning equipment, The extension will go over the bar and serve as a sort of sound buffer. Behind The Carat Bar and Bistro bar will be Ganoche To Go that will offer the some savory pleasures of Ganache Cupcake' Lounge, it's also a place where people can pop in to pick up ra to -go order, and Schacter said they are also working on a room service menu with items that can be order by folks downtown and delivered to them. Next to The Carat Bar and Bistro will be The Morris Supper Club, Schactersaid the downtown area doesn't have an upscale, fine -dining restaurant which is what this addition will do. Named in homer of !Dorris Zales the supper club entrance will be through The Carat Bar and Bistro, where the hostess will escort the guests to the restaurant where white table cloths, exquisite cuisine, fine wine and whisky will await patrons. schactersaid they will use the vault that has been in the focildy for decades as a wine and whisky vault with lockers in which patrons can store their libations; All three eateries will be supported by fa state-of-the-art kitchen that will be located in raarmc'he To Go, The remaining two omits of the four unit complex will be leased out for other retail businesses. Schacter said if that means ai competing restaurant wants to ,hove into one of the locations, so be it. "The more the merrier," she said. Cynthia Caney, executive director of Downtown Wichita falls Development, said Tuesday — the dray it became official that schac€er was purchasing the Zoles Building — was bittersweet for the organization- She said the DVVFD board purchased the structure in September 2013 with the goal of preserving it and keeping it from falling into disrepair. But as the group continued to research the facility; they discovered that it was the very first Zales jewelry store in the business's chain, which began in the early 1B00s. That's when the board's vision of the building changed from preservation to a full -on restoration project, she said the project was a labor of love and became the symbol of downtown revitalization efforts, Laney said she couldn't think of anyone better suited to fit the vision of the DWFD than Schacter. sllowin "! couldn't be more pleased because she has such a good business head on her shoulders and a strong f 4," she said, "She knows what she's doing and l think she will take it and absolutely make it the cornerstone and a destination not only for our local people, but also people from out Of town. She is absolutely amazing. ,She has a vision that goes along with our vision of downtown for it to be that destination, for it to be that heart of our city," r x 7 r a l a t{ t 3f3t` £ aA s }' t=r,at; 3}& r+. „3 vr,tr+ tl'. r. t+, '. ,t 1r <<, ,ee` "a"f"S Ni"W'WfU .l C N 2412 Jack Ste, i3, Parker Square SC Wichita Falls, TX 76308 Aanber Sczacter, President 940-280-3999 Schocter send work on the Project, led by general contrcactorAxis Construction, is -set to begin in June, and her goal is to open by the end of September.

IBC Section 903.2 addresses all occupancy conditions requiring automatic sprinkler systems. IBC Section 903.3 contains the installation requirements for all sprinkler systems, in addition to the requirements of NFPA 13,13D and 13R. The supervision and alarm requirements for sprinkler systems are contained in ISC Section 903.4 whereas IBC Section 903.5 refers to testing and maintenance requirements for sprinkler systems in the International Fire Code (IFC): Compliance Alternatives— Chapter 14 Previously section 3410 in Chapter 34 in the 2009 I C. 1 0L2.1 Changes in occupancy, Where an existing building is changed to a new occupancy' classification and this section is applicable, the provisions of this section for the new occupancy shall be used to determine compliance with this code. Commentary-, When a building undergoes a change of occupancy classification and Chapter 14 is applied, the evaluation method in Chapter 14 must be applied to the new occupancy for determining whether the existing building meets the compliance alternative in the code. This recognizes that it is the proposed conditions and relative hazards that will exist and roust be determined to be acceptable. it is also consistent with how changes of occupancy are regulated in the absence of the Chapter 1 alternative. 1401.3 Acceptance. For repairs, alterations, additions, and changes of occupancy to existing; buildings that are evaluated in accordance with this section, compliance with this section shall be accepted by the code oftacial. Commentary. The International Codes (I -Codes) regulate safety in existing buildings by establishing the appropriate minimum levels of safety and sanitation deemd necessary for the safe occupancy of buildings. This is accomplished it several different portions of the Family of I -Codes. The International Fire Code (IFC) addresses fire safety Issues in existing buildings and the International Property Maintenance Code {IPMC) addresses matter of health and sanitation in existing buildings and sites. Codes traditionally give broad authority to the aide official to abate unusually hazardous sanitationconditions or operations that may be encouriteired in existing bulldjfigs� Although these fire safety, health and together bw permitted for any other existing bul'idiihim When an owner or designer of Energy Codex Historical Buildings are exempt, t will cover that area only� Weare on the brinkbf adopting the 2015 (IECd) I erhat! nalEnergy Conservation Code and i would be e Handicap Accessibility. 09)*6xas Accessibility Standards Historical Buildings do not have an exemption as it does with the iECG. A,waiver process is available,: however most waivers do not get approved, estaurants, Bars, Bakeries and Occupant toads When you are designing restaurants, bars, bakeries and other food service businesses the number of occupants is a fairly important factor. Occupant loading is not determined by the actual number of people, but rather by the number of square feet in your space. You'H have 1 occupant for each 200 sf of kitchen, 15 s€ of seating space, 5 sf of standing space,100 sf of business areas or 300 sf storage areas. You acid all the occupants together, including fractions and get to a total load. What i tell owners and operators is that there are several trigger points where the number of occupants makes a big difference. The first point where occupant load makes a difference is for very small establishments, we see it mostly in bakeries, when; you have more than 15 occupants you are required to have two separate bathrooms, one for men and one for women, For a small establishment, that's a big cast, The next point is when you go over 49 occupants. Beyond 49, you are required to have two exits that are separated from each other. The doors must swing out and there has to be a clear path to bath exits that can't go through storage or kitchen spaces. Creating the second exit is often easy, but it can be a east for some projects.. The next point of cost is at'100 occupants. When you hit 100 occupants you must have an automatic sprinkler system. This would also be the case at 5,000 sf or when you are not on the ground floor. Your restroorns will have to expand when you get to 80 occupants for a bar or 150 for a restaurant. That's when you'll need a:second toilet in each restroomt Interestingly you don't have to have a second lav until you get to 150 in a bar and 400 in a restaurant, though typically you'll see this with loaner loading: This pattern continues each time you add more occupants. The neat occupant load trigger doesn't happen until 500, then you need a third exit, a second drinking fountain and more plumbing fixtures. of course if you're designing, a facility for 500 plus, these are a small additional cost in the cost of the total project, The 2006 International Building Code addresses how the code relates to modifications of historic buildings, The IBC states that "The provisions of this aide relating to the construction, repair, alteration, addition, restoration and movement of structures, and change of occupancy shall not be mandatory for historic buildings where such buildings are judged bythe building official to not constitute a distinct life safety hazard" Historic Buildings are defined as "Buildings that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or designated as historic under an appropriate state or local law." That's a fairly narrow set of buildings, so generally speaking older buildings need to be brought up to code when they are substantially improved. It is generally easier to prove that the cost is prohibitive if the cost of the upgrades are more than 20% the cost of the total project. The 2006 International Building Code spells out the conditions where you are required to have two or more exits or as I prefer to see it, where you can have only one exit from a space. Generally the requirements are straight forward but there are a few complex conditions that I've called out. The first test is occupant load. For occupancy types A, B, E, F, M, and U you can have up to 49 occupants with one exit. For day care centers in type E you're limited to io with one exit, For H-1, H-2 and H-3 you can have 3 occupants with one exit and for H-4, H- , 1-1, 1-4, 1-4 and R you can have 10 occupants. S occupancy allows 29 occupants with one exit. 12 has a long list of requirements,let me know if you need to go through there. The next test is common path of egress travel, basically how far you have to go to get to the exit door. For H-1„ H-2 and H-3 you are limited to 25 feet with one exit. For other occupancies you're limited to 75 feet with one exit. There are several exceptions, if you have a group B, F or S and a sprinkled building you can go 100 feet on one exit. if you have a group B, 5 or F and no more than 39 occupants you can also have 100 feet to get to the one exit. Group 1-3 is allowed too feet. In a sprinkled R-2 building you can go up to 125 feet. Assembly spaces have a number of additional requirements, again just let me know if you need there Finally there are a number of cases that always require two or more exits. Boiler, incenerptor and furnace rooms over 50o sf or over 400,000 Btu in fuel fared equipment require two exits. Refrigerator machinery rooms over 1,000 sf require two doors. Refrigerated rooms over 1.,000 sf and maintaining a temperature below 68 degrees require two exits: Please note that there is a different set of requirements for buildings with only one exit than this list for spaces with only one exit:.1,11 cover that In a feature post. Hoods are required by Cade (cornmercial} when you use gas equipment. Most Codes (not all) will allow electric equipment without hoods, as these do not give off carbon monoxide. - -how many commercial kitchens with electric equipment will still use a hood as a means to reduce heat buildup in their kitchen; GS ='General Safety MGS = Mandatory General Safety 3412.9.1 Mixed occupancies. For mixed occupancies, the following provisions shall apply 1. Where the separation between mixed occupancies does not qualify for any category indicated in Sctiaa 3412,E Ira, the Mandatory safety scores for the occupancy with the lowest general safety score in Table 3412.8 shall be utilized (see Section 3 S j 2. Where the separation between mixed occupancies qualifies for any category indicated in 5.q iig 3412&Jfi, the mandatory safety scores for each occupancy shall be placed against the evaluation scares for the appropriate occupancy.

Finally there are a number of cases that always require two or more exits.
