| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET A2.1 PROVIDES A FLOOR LAYOUT OF WHAT THE |
| | PROPOSED CONFIGURATION OF WALLS WILL LOOK LIKE BUT |
| | THERE IS NO PROPOSED INTERIOR DEMOLITION PLANS OF WHAT |
| | THE SITE LOOKS LIKE BEFORE THE START OF DENOLITION. |
| | NOTE THERE IS A INTERIOR DEMO PLAN, PLEASE SUBMIT AS |
| | PART OF PERMIT PACKAGE FOR REFERANCE ONLY.2010 WEST |
| | PALM BEACH AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, |
| | CHAPTER 1, ADMINISTRATION 107.2.1 INFORMATION ON |
| | CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.L. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SHALL |
| | BE OF SUFFICIENT CLARITY TO INDICATE THE LOCATION, |
| | NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE WORK PROPOSED AND SHOW IN |
| | DETAIL THAT IT WILL CONFORM TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS |
| | CODE AND RELEVANT LAWS, ORDINANCES, RULES AND |
| | REGULATIONS, AS DETERMINED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. |
| | |
| | 2) COVERSHEET C1 INDICATES THIS IS A BUSINESS |
| | OCCUPANCY. IT APPEARS TO BE A MIXED OCCUPANCY SINCE THE |
| | WAREHOUSE APPEARS TO BE ABOUT 40% OF THE OVER ALL SQ. |
| | FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING. PLEASE PROVIDE IF THE STORAGE |
| | AREA IS A S1 OR S2 OCCUPANCY DESCRIBE THE MATERIALS TO |
| | BE STORED. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF STORAGE OCCUAPNCY |
| | FBC-B TABLE 508.4 MAY OR MAY NOT REQUIRE A OCCUPANCY |
| | FIRE SEPARATION WALL. |
| | DATE: TUE JUL 1 2014 |
| | REPORT: 7357 |
| | CODE: BUILDING CODE YEAR: 2010 |
| | SECTION: TABLE 508.4 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF TABLE 508.4 TO REQUIRE A (1HR (S), |
| | 2HR (NS)) SEPARATION BETWEEN B AND S-2 OCCUPANCY AND NO |
| | SEPARATION |
| | REQUIREMENT BETWEEN B AND S-1 OCCUPANCY? |
| | COMMENT: |
| | PER CHAPTER 3, S-2 OCCUPANCY ARE DEFINED AS LOW- HAZARD |
| | STORAGE, WHERE AS S-1 OCCUPANCY IS DEFINED AS |
| | MODERATE-HAZARD |
| | OCCUPANCY. THE STORED MATERIALS LIST FOR S-1 OCCUPANCY |
| | IS MUCH MORE HAZARDOUS THAN THE LIST FOR S-2 OCCUPANCY |
| | AND ONE WOULD |
| | THINK THAT THE S-1 OCCUPANCY WOULD REQUIRE THE |
| | SEPARATION AND THE S-2 OCCUPANCY WOULD NOT. |
| | ANSWER: |
| | BASED ON THE INFORMATION REVIEWED, IT APPEARS YOU ARE |
| | CORRECT THAT A TYPO EXISTS. THE BEST APPROACH FOR THIS |
| | PARTICULAR ISSUE |
| | WOULD BE EITHER A FORMAL INTERPRETATION WHICH HAS |
| | STANDING OR A DEC STATEMENT FROM THE FLORIDA BUILDING |
| | COMMISSION. PLEASE |
| | SEE THE COMMENTARY BELOW. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | TABLE 508.4 DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A TYPO. THE 2001 |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, TABLE 704.1 REQUIRED A 3 HOUR |
| | SEPARATION FOR S1 AND A 2 |
| | HOUR SEPARATION FOR S2. IN THE 2004 CODE TABLE 706.3.7 |
| | ALSO REQUIRES 3 HOURS FOR S1 AND 2 HOURS FOR S2. THE |
| | TYPO APPEARS TO |
| | HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED WITH TABLE 508.4 IN THE 2007 CODE. |
| | TABLE 508.4 APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WRONG SINCE ITS |
| | INCEPTION. |
| | SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A FORMAL INTERPRETATION WOULD |
| | PERMIT APPLICATION OF CORRECTION TO THIS ISSUE UNTIL A |
| | CODE CHANGE CAN BE |
| | MADE, IF IT IS NOT ALREADY IN THE WORKS. |
| | |

| | EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED |
| | COOPERATION. |
