	****COURTESY REVIEW BASED ON CONVERSATION WITH PROPERTY

	1. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE SLAB AND ROOF WERE
	INSTALLED WITH PERMITS, BUT THE CONVERSION OF SCREEN
	WALLS TO GLASS WAS NOT PERMITTED. IT IS LIKELY THAT
	THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE STRUCTURAL COLUMN.

	CONTRACTOR IS TO PROVIDE A PLAN FOR THE ELEMENTS
	INSTALLED WITHOUT PERMIT. OWNER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE
	SUNROOM IS TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE AT THIS TIME.
	IN ORDER TO DO THIS, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:

	PROVIDE A WALL FRAMING DETAIL, FOUNDATION THROUGH ROOF.
	INCLUDE WIND DESIGN CRITERIA.

	SHOW THE WINDOWS AS "PROPOSED" AND PLAN CAN NOTE THAT
	THE WINDOWS ARE REPLACING WINDOWS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED
	WITHOUT PERMIT. THERE IS NO PENALTY ASSESSED WHEN A
	PROPERTY OWNER IS UNAWARE OF A PREVIOUS VIOLATION AND
	IS WORKING TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.

	BE ADVISED THAT ELECTRICAL OUTLETS MAY BE REQUIRED.
	PLEASE SHOW ALL EXISTING ELECTRICAL ON THE PLAN. ANY
	ELECTRICAL OUTLETS IN THE WALL WERE LIKELY INSTALLED
	WITHOUT PERMIT (SINCE THE WALLS WERE INSTALLED WITHOUT
	PERMIT). PROVIDE THE SAME ELECTRICAL INFORMATION AS FOR
	NEW WORK AS THIS PERMIT WILL BRING INTO COMPLIANCE
	ELECTRICAL AS WELL AS THE SUNROOM. AN ELECTRICAL PERMIT
	WILL BE REQUIRED EVEN IF NO NEW ELECTRICAL WORK IS DONE
	SO THE WORK DONE PREVIOUSLY WITHOUT PERMIT CAN BE
	INSPECTED.

	FOR BEDROOMS WHICH USED THE PORCH AS EMERGENCY MEANS OF
	ESCAPE AND RESCUE, SHOW A PROPOSED NEW EMERGENCY ESCAPE
	AND RESCUE OPENING FOR EACH AFFECTED BEDROOM WHICH
	COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION. IT
	IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A SLIDING GLASS DOOR WAS THE
	EMERGENCY ESCAPE OPENING BEFORE THE PORCH WAS ENCLOSED
	WITHOUT PERMIT, SO THE NEW OPENING IS TO BE EITHER THE
	SAME CLEAR OPENING SIZE UP TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR NEW
	CONSTRUCTION.

	THE OWNER UNDERSTANDS THAT TWO NEW WINDOWS WILL NEED TO
	BE INSTALLED TO BRING TO COMPLY WITH THE EMERGENCY
	MEANS OF ESCAPE REQUIREMENT. WE DISCUSSED THE
	POSSIBILITY OF PHASING THE PROJECT, UNDER ONE PERMIT,
	DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS (SUNROOM FIRST, BEDROOM
	WINDOWS WITHIN SIX MONTHS).

	IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

	A NOTE STATING THAT THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN
	EXISTING SUN ROOM PREVIOUSLY PERMITTED. NO PERMIT
	NUMBER OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF A PERMIT WAS PROVIDED.

	COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS LIST:

	1. THE NATURE OF EXISTING CONDITIONS IS NOT CLEAR.

	NO PERMITS FOR WINDOWS SINCE 1998/1999, SO ANY
	IMPROVEMENTS WHICH EXIST CURRENTLY WOULD HAVE BEEN
	PERMITTED PRIOR TO THAT TIME. IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THIS
	WOULD AFFECT BEDROOM EGRESS; PLEASE LABEL ROOMS WHICH
	OPEN INTO THE SUN ROOM.

	PROVIDE A STRUCTURAL DETAIL FOR THE EXISTING WALLS. I
	LOCATED RECORD TWO PERMITS FOR SCREEN PORCH BUT CANNOT
	EASILY ACCESS THE PLANS FOR THESE PERMITS. IT IS NOT
	CLEAR WHETHER THE EXISTING SUBSTRATE IN THE PORCH CAN
	ACCOMODATE THE ADDITIONAL LOAD OF IMPACT WINDOWS.

	FBC 2010 RESIDENTIAL 301

	2ND REVIEW:

	AS PLANS STILL SHOW THE "SUNROOM" AS EXISTING, A
	PARTIAL RECORDS RESEARCH (30 MINUTES) HAS BEEN DONE ON
	CONTRACTOR'S BEHALF.

	HOUSE WAS PERMITTED UNDER PERMIT 5165D ON 9/21/1970. A
	"SCREEN ENCLOSURE" WAS PERMITTED ON 1/14/71 (6199D). A
	"SCREEN PORCH ADDITION" WAS PERMITTED ON 12/10/1982
	(3987I). THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE SCREEN ENCLOSURE
	PERMITTED TWICE WAS CONVERTED TO A "SUN ROOM" WITH
	WINDOWS. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES TO ADDRESS; STRUCTURAL
	AND EGRESS.

	THE PLAN PROVIDED SHOWS TWO BEDROOMS WITH WINDOWS TO
	THE OUTSIDE AS WELL AS OPENINGS INTO THE SUN ROOM.
	PROVIDE DIMENSIONS FOR EACH AS WELL AS OPENING TYPE
	(TYPE OF WINDOW), FBC 2010 RESIDENTIAL 310.

	THE FIRST SCREEN PORCH SHOWS "EXISTING FOOTING & FLOOR
	SLAB - MIN 8" X 12" 2 #4". I WAS UNABLE TO SEE PLANS
	FOR THE SECOND "SCREEN PORCH ADDITION" PERMIT #3987I.
	IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU DO A RECORDS RESEARCH REQUEST
	TO DETERMINE WHAT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THAT PERMIT,
	IF ANY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE ROOF AND RELATED
	STRUCTURE WAS DONE AT THAT TIME, BUT BASED ON THE
	DESCRIPTION IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WINDOWS WERE
	PERMITTED.

	[email protected] FOR RECORDS RESEARCH REQUEST.

	PROVIDE A STRUCTURAL PLAN WHICH DEMONSTRATES THAT THE
	STRUCTURE CAN ACCOMODATE THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT OF THE
	IMPACT WINDOWS. BASED ON THE PERMIT DESCRIPTION, IT
	APPEARS THAT SCREEN WAS PERMITTED. A MORE THOROUGH
	RESEARCH MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

	AN IMPACT FEE ASSESSMENT MAY BE REQUIRED.
