Thanks for the feedback Coach....Just to clarify the mistakes you pointed out..
(1)
Stair is too narrow: The total width I went with was 3'-8". I pulled the worst case scenario from the program [360 Occupants/3 Exits], multiplied by the .3 factor and got 3'-0"...I added 4" to either side for the handrails. Looking back at the code just now, I'm thinking the mistake was under the
stairway width section where it quotes "minimum width shall be computed in accordance with capacity of exit components, but shall not be less than 3'-8". I'm assuming that means 3'-8" CLEAR, which should make the total width of the stair 4'-4"....Correct me if I'm wrong, just trying to make sense of the mistake and how I can fix it.

Ramp @ 25 & 9 are too small: I followed the same train of thought, and maintained 3'-0" clear [total width was 3'-8"]...I'm guessing the same mistake carried over since I don't have 3'-8" CLEAR....Is this what you are pointing out? If so, I'm short 8" on the width just like the stairs.
Also, something I wasn't sure about with the ramps...a 5'-0" x 5'-0" landing is only necessary where the user is making a 180 degree turn correct?
Thanks again. I really appreciate the comments.
