 PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW:
  
 BUILDING
  
 1) THE DESCRIPTION OF WORK ON THE APPLICATION IS TO
 DEMOLISH ELECTRICAL WIRING ( REMOVE 2ND AND 3RD PANELS)
 AND REMOVE ILLEGAL WALLS (NO NEW CONSTRUCTION) WITH A
 VALUATION OF $2000.00 FOR THE WORK. THE 3 SHEETS OF
 PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE
 DESCRIPTION ON THE APPLICATION. ONE SHEET IS TITLED
 ALTERATIONS TO RESIDENCE AND THE OTHER TWO SHEETS ARE
 TITLED "GUEST HOUSE AS-BUILTS". PROVIDE PLANS THAT
 CLEARLY SPECIFY THE WORK THAT WILL BE DONE. FBC 107.2.1
  
 2) UN-PERMITTED CONVERSION
  
 THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THIS PERMIT IS TO ADDRESS THE
 ILLEGAL CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING GARAGE TO AN
 APARTMENT OR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
 ACCORDING TO CITY RECORDS, THIS STRUCTURE WAS
 ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED AS A DETACHED GARAGE. IT WAS
 CONVERTED TO AN APARTMENT WITH A KITCHEN, BEDROOM AND
 BATHROOM WITHOUT THE REQUIRED PERMITS OR INSPECTIONS.
 UNDER THE 2010 FBC EXISTING BUILDING THIS IS CONSIDERED
 A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY. IN ORDER FOR THIS STRUCTURE-TO
 BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, IT WILL BE REQUIRED TO
 COMPLY WITH THE 2010 FBC EXISTING BUILDING FOR A CHANGE
 OF OCCUPANCY FROM A UTILITY TO AN R-3 OCCUPANCY. THIS
 CHANGE IS FROM A LOWER HAZARD CATEGORY TO A HIGHER ONE.
 THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT
 INTO COMPLIANCE. THE STRUCTURE WILL BE REQUIRED TO
 COMPLY WITH THE 2010 FBCR WINDLOAD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
 BUILDING ENVELOPE ( IN ADDITION TO GRAVITY LOADS),
 PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR EXTERIOR DOORS AND WINDOWS,
 EGRESS REQUIREMENTS, LIGHT AND VENTILATION, SMOKE AND
 CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS, FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
 (SEPARATION DISTANCE AND ALLOWABLE OPENINGS), THE
 REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION, THE
 REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBCR MECHANICAL, THE
 REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBCR PLUMBING AND THE
 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE
 2008 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. THE PLANS WILL NEED TO
 SHOW HOW THE GARAGE WILL BE CONVERTED TO HABITABLE
 SPACE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2010 FBC AND 2008 NEC. THE
 PLANS WILL NEED TO BE REVIEWED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY TO
 DETERMINE IF ANY IMPACT FEES ARE DUE.
  
 3) THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO THE CONVERSION OF
 THE ATTACHED CARPORT INTO LIVING SPACE.
  
 4) BECAUSE THE WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT PERMITS THE
 VALUATION FOR THE PERMIT IS THE VALUE OF WHAT THE WORK
 WOULD BE TO CONVERT BOTH OF THE AREAS TO LIVING SPACE.
 FBC 109.3 BUILDING PERMIT VALUATION. FOR PERMITTING
 PURPOSES, VALUATION OF BUILDINGS AND SYSTEMS SHALL BE
 TOTAL REPLACEMENT VALUE TO INCLUDE STRUCTURAL,
 ELECTRIC, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, INTERIOR FINISH,
 RELATIVE SITE WORK, ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN FEES,
 MARKETING COSTS, OVERHEAD AND PROFIT; EXCLUDING ONLY
 LAND VALUE. VALUATION REFERENCES MAY INCLUDE THE LATEST
 PUBLISHED DATA OF NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION COST ANALYSIS
 SERVICES (MARSHALL-SWIFT, MEANS, ETC.), AS PUBLISHED BY
 INTERNATIONAL CODE CONGRESS. FINAL BUILDING PERMIT
 VALUATION SHALL BE SET BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.
  
 5) IN ORDER TO REDUCE PLAN REVIEW TIMES AND PROVIDE
 CLARIFICATION, PLEASE SUBMIT A RESPONSE LETTER
 INDICATING HOW EACH OF THE REVIEW COMMENTS HAS BEEN
 ADDRESSED.

 DISCONNECT SWITCH AT ELECTRICAL SERVIICE.
 B) THE LOCATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE.
 C) THE SIZE AND TYPE OF THE SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS
 IN THE SERVICE RISER TO THE WEATHERHEAD.
 D) THE SIZE TYPE AND DETAIL OF ALL THE GROUDING
 ELECTROTRODE SYSTEM.
 E) EACH OF THE FEEDERS FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE
 INDICATE 3 CONDUCTORS IN A CONDUIT. THERE IS NO MENTION
 OF A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. THE ONLY PLACE A GROUNDING
 CONDUCTOR WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED WOULD BE AT THE SERVICE
 ENTRANCE. THE ONLY ALTERNATICE WOULD BE IF THE FEEDER
 CONDUCTORS WERE INSTALLED IN A METLAL CONDUIT WITH THE
 USE OF PROPER GROUNDING LOCKNUTS BONDING BUSINGS ETC...
 F ) THE LOCATION OF THE MAIN HOUSE PANEL
 G) THE OCPD FOR THE SUB PANEL
 H) THE LOCATION OF THE A/C CONDENSING UNITS AND A/C
 AHU'S,THE REQUIRED A/C DISCONNECTS, AND GFI OUTLETS
 WITHIN SITE FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.
  
 2) REVISE THE RISRE DIAGRAMS, LOAD CALCULATIONS AND
 PANEL SCHEDULES TO CORRECT THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCIES.
 A) THE OCPD FOR THE SUB PANEL IS NOT INDICATED IN THE
 PANEL SCHEDULE FOR MAIN HOUSE PANEL
 B) EVERY CIRCUIT AND CIRCUIT MODIFICATION SHALL BE
 LEGIBLY IDENTIFIED AS TO ITS CLEAR, EVIDENT, AND
 SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR USE. THE IDENTIFICATION SHALL
 INCLUDE SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO ALLOW EACH CIRCUIT TO BE
 DISTINGUISHED FROM ALL OTHERS. NEC 408.4. "GENERAL
 LIGHTING" OR "CONVENIENCE OUTLETS" IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
 CORRECT BOTH PANEL SCHEDULES.
 C) THE LOAD CALCULATION FOR THE "GUEST HOUSE" INDICATES
 1200 WATTS TO COMPENSATE THE GENERAL LIGHTING LOAD AT 3
 WATTS PER SQUARE FOOT, BUT THEN ALSO ADDS AN ADDITIONAL
 4500WATTS FOR "GENERAL LIGHTING" AND ANOTHER 6000WATTS
 FOR "CONVENIENCE OUTLETS" THIS IS NOT A CODE
 REQUIRMENT, AND IS AN INACCURATE ASSESMENT OF THE
 ACTUAL OR DEMAND LOAD OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
 D) EACH OF THE FEEDERS FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE
 INDICATE 3 CONDUCTORS IN A CONDUIT. THERE IS NO MENTION
 OF A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. THE ONLY PLACE A GROUNDING
 CONDUCTOR WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED WOULD BE AT THE SERVICE
 ENTRANCE. THE ONLY ALTERNATICE WOULD BE IF THE FEEDER
 CONDUCTORS WERE INSTALLED IN A METLAL CONDUIT WITH THE
 USE OF PROPER GROUNDING LOCKNUTS BONDING BUSINGS ETC...
 CLARFY AS NEEDED.
 E) PROVIDE AND INDICATE ON THE FLOOR PLAN AND IN THE
 PANEL SCHEDULES THE USE OF A SEPARATE 20AMP CIRCUIT FOR
 THE BATHROOMS. SUCH OUTLETS SHALL HAVE NO OTHER
 OUTLETS.
  
 3) IDENTIFY THE CIRCUITS ON THE FLOOR PLAN(S) TO THE
 CORRESPONDING CIRCUITS IN BOTH PANEL SCHEDULES.
  
 4) WHEN ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS, OR ADDITIONS REQUIRING A
 PERMIT OCCUR, OR WHEN ONE OR MORE SLEEPING ROOMS ARE
 ADDED OR CREATED IN EXISTING DWELLINGS, THE INDIVIDUAL
 DWELLING UNIT SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH SMOKE ALARMS
 LOCATED AS REQUIRED FOR NEW DWELLINGS. FBC-RESIDENTIAL
 314 AND 315. INDICATE THE REQUIRED SMOKE DETECTORS
 THROUGHOUT.
  
 5) VERIFY THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE DISCONNECTING MEANS
 HAS A FAULT CURRENT RATING THAT IS SUFFICIENT AT
 NOMINAL CIRCUIT VOLTAGE FOR THE CURRENT THAT MUST BE
 INTERRUPTED. NEC 110.9
  
 6) INDICATE OUTLET BOXES USED AS THE SOLE SUPPORT OF A
 CEILING FAN SHALL BE LISTED, SHALL BE MARKED BY THEIR
 MANUFACTURER AS SUITABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE.
  
 7) ALL NEW GENERAL PURPOSE OUTLETS MUST BE TAMPER
 RESISTANT AND AFCI PROTECTED. NEC 210.12, 406.11. ADD
 NOTES ACCORDINGLY.
  
 WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE
 LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY
 RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. SEE LINK:
