RE: 15081-River Rock Residences-Garage exterior wall sheathing
Dear Sir or Madam,
This letter is regarding the question raised about the exterior wall sheathing at the River Rock
Residences project at 70 Boston St/13 Goodhue St. _Based on the listed exceptions of Section 603
Combustible Material in Types I and II Construction the exterior wall sheathing is in compliance with
the Massachusetts State Building Code because the walls in question are exterior non-load bearing that
do not require a fire rating.
Based on the requirements of Table 602 for Type I Construction non-load bearing exterior walls
refers to Table 602. Table 602 for the occupancies and incidental occupancies in the garage, S-2, M with
fire separation distances equal to or greater than 30 feet do not require a fire resistance rating for the
exterior walls.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me.
