Disagreement with plan reviewer

[design4U]

Codeman,

Rather than give you our opinions, I will just give the facts and see if you have the same answer as one or the other of us.
We have a planned 9,000 square foot restaurant area (A2) that will have tables and chairs. The building is a self contained structure not attached to any other.

We are conflicting on these 3 items.

Occupant load?
Number of exits required?
Inches of exit width required?

Building is not sprinklered.

[Jerry Peck - Codeman]

What state will the building be located in?

What code is the building being designed/reviewed to, the IBC? What edition, the 2006?

Codeman,

Your numbers and mine are the same and I thank you for your time sir. The 2006 ICC codes will apply.

[Jerry Peck - Codeman]

You are welcome,

By the way, what were their numbers and how did they get them?

Did the other person state the minimum number of exits was 5?

If so, that would be from misreading Table 1019.1. This is from the Commentary to the IBC (underlining and bold are mine): "Where more than 500 occupants are located on a single floor, additional exits must be provided. For example, if a floor has an occupant load of 750, each occupant of that floor must have access to not less than three exits (see Table 1019.1)."
