	2014 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2014 WEST PALM BEACH
	AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1,
	ADMINISTRATION

	2014 EXISTING BUILDING CODE LEVEL II 701.3 COMPLIANCE.
	ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND
	SPACES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
	FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING.


	1ST REVIEW
	DATE: TUES. NOV. 24/ 2015
	ACTION: DENIED

	1) THE COVERSHEET T.1 :
	1A) THE COVERSHEET NOR DOES THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN
	INDICATE TO WHAT CODES THIS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TOO?
	THE 2014 FBC FAMILY OF CODES WAS ADOPTED STATEWIDE ON
	JUNE 30/ 2015.

	1B) UNDER THE 2014 FL. EXISITING BUILDING CODE THE
	DESIGNER OF RECORD HAS NOT DECLARED UNDER WHICH
	COMPLIANCE METHOD THE PLANS WERE DEVELOPED. 2014 FL.
	EXISTING BUILDING CODE 301.1.

	1C) THE COVERSHEET INDICATES UNDER A NOTE SPRINKLERS
	NOT APPLICABLE, I TAKE IT THIS BUILDING IS NOT FIRE
	SPRINKLERED NOR IS IT PLANNED TO BE IN THIS SCOPE OF
	WORK.
	2014 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2014 WEST PALM BEACH
	AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1,
	ADMINISTRATION, 107.2.1.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS
	REQUIRED.

	1D) THE COVERSHEET INDICATES THE 1ST FLOOR A TO BE A
	FUTURE 1ST FLOOR BUSINESS AND 2ND FLOOR FUTURE ASSEMBLY
	OCCUPANCY. TYPE OF ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY A1, A2 OR A3 IS
	UNKNOWN. PLEASE REVIEW THE 2014 FBC-B TABLE 503 WILL
	NOT ALLOW ANY ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY ON THE 2ND FLOOR IN A
	BUILDING TYPE VB-UNSPRINKLERED. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE
	ALLOWABLE AREA FOR AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY IN A TYPE VB
	UNSPRINKLERED BUILDING IS OVER THE ALLOWABLE AREA,
	AGAIN SEE TABLE 503.FBC-B .

	1E) THE COVERSHEET VERSES THE LIFE SAFETY SHEET LS.1.
	THE QUESTION IS THE BUSINESS AND ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCIES
	ON THE COVER SHEET REVERSED TO WHAT FLOOR THEY ARE
	LOCATED? LS.1 APPEARS ON THE 1ST FLOOR TO HAVE A FRONT
	THAT OPENS ONTO CLEMATIS ST. THAT WOULD BE MORE SUITED
	FOR THE ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY. IF SO PLEASE PROVIDE THE
	LEASABLE SQUARE FOOT AREA FOR THE TENANT SPACE. THE
	OTHER ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS THE
	MEZZANINE, THE PLANS SHEET A1 INDICATE THAT THE
	MEZZANINE IS USED FOR MECHANICAL ROOM OR IS THE
	MECHANICAL ROOM LOCATED ABOVE THE MEZZANINE ROOM? AND
	DOES THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM OPERATE FOR THE WHOLE
	BUILDING?

	1F) DISCREPANCY IN PLANS THE COVERSHEET INDICATES THE
	2ND FLOOR AS AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY WHEREAS SHEET S-1.1
	THE 2ND FLOOR STRUCTURAL SHEET INDICATES THE 2ND FLOOR
	LIVE LOAD AS 80 LBS. FBC-B TABLE 1607.1 LIVE LOADS FOR
	ASSEMBLY MOVABLE SEATS IS 100 LBS. WHEREAS OFFICE
	CORRIDORS IS 80 LBS./ PSF.

	1G) THE COVERSHEET T.1 DOES NOT INDICATE IF THE 2
	FLOORS ARE GOING TO BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF A SINGLE
	TENANT OR IF THERE ARE GOING TO BE (2) SEPERATE TENANTS
	THAT WILL SHARE BACK OF HOUSE RESTROOMS AND OTHER
	COMMON ELEMENTS? 107.2.1.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS
	REQUIRED FOR A THOROUGH REVIEW.

	1H) NEITHER THE COVERSHEET T.1 NOR LS.1 SHOW PROPOSED
	OCCUPANT LOADS FOR EACH FLOOR NOR DOES THE STAIRWELLS
	AND DOORS SHOW THE OCCUPANT LOAD ALLOWABLE OCCUPANT
	LOAD PER FBC-B 1005.3.1 STAIRWAYS A FACTOR OF 0.3 AND
	1005.3.2 OTHER EGRESS COMPONENTS A FACTOR OF 0.2.

	1I) THE COVERSHEET T.1 NOR THE LS.1 INDICATE COMPLIANCE
	WITH HORIZONTAL OCCUPANCY SEPARATION 2014 FBC-B
	707.3.10 & TABLE 707.3.10.

	2) SHEET A.1 BACK OF HOUSE WHAT APPEARS TO BE COMMON
	AREAS TO BOTH TENANTS. PLEASE PROVIDE A CUT SECTION
	THROUGH THE MEZZANINE AREA NORTH TO SOUTH THERE ARE A
	LOT OF QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THIS AREA.

	2A) THE REAR STAIRS, IT IS HARD TO TELL IF THIS STAIR
	IS BEING DESIGNED AS A ENCLOSED STAIR OR IF THE
	DESIGNER IS TRYING TO VIEW THIS STAIR AS A EXIT ACCESS
	STAIRWELL (FBC-B 1009.3 & 1016.3.1) OR AS A RATED EXIT
	STAIR ( 1022.2). IF DESIGNED AS A EXIT ACCESS STAIR
	TRAVEL DISTANCE NEEDS TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH FBC-B
	1016.3.

	2B) THE REAR STAIR WALL RATING IS CLEARLY SHOWN ON THE
	2ND FLOOR AS DARKER AROUND THE 2ND FLOOR CORRIDOR AND
	LIGHTER IN THE SOUTH WALL OF THE STAIRWELL. ON THE 1ST
	FLOOR THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RATING THAT WOULD SEPARATE
	THE STAIRWELL FROM THE 1ST FLOOR TENANT. FBC-B 1022.2).

	2C) !ST FLOOR BACK OF HOUSE, IF THE REAR STAIR IS TO BE
	CONSIDERED A EXIT STAIR (1 HOUR RATED) THEN 3 THINGS
	NEED TO HAPPEN:

	2C)(1) THE REAR EXIT WILL LEAD INTO A EXIT PASSAGE WAY
	AND TO THE EXIT DOOR. BETWEEN THE EXIT STAIR WELL AND
	EXIT PASSAGE WAY SECTION FBC-B 1022.3.1 EXTENSION. THE
	FIRE-RESISTANCE RATING SHALL BE AT LEAST EQUAL TO THAT
	REQUIRED FOR THE INTERIOR EXIT STAIRWAY AND RAMP. A
	FIRE DOOR ASSEMBLY COMPLYING WITH SECTION 716.5 SHALL
	BE INSTALLED IN THE FIRE BARRIER TO PROVIDE A MEANS OF
	EGRESS FROM THE INTERIOR EXIT STAIRWAY AND RAMP TO THE
	EXIT PASSAGEWAY. OPENINGS IN THE FIRE BARRIER OTHER
	THAN THE FIRE DOOR ASSEMBLY ARE PROHIBITED.
	PENETRATIONS OF THE FIRE BARRIER ARE PROHIBITED.

	2C)(2) THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY WILL NEED TO BE SEPARATED
	FROM THE ELEVATOR AND REMOVAL OF THE HOUSE PANELS.
	1023.5 OPENINGS AND PENETRATIONS.
	EXIT PASSAGEWAY OPENING PROTECTIVES SHALL BE IN
	ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 716. EXCEPT
	AS PERMITTED IN SECTION 402.8.7, OPENINGS IN EXIT
	PASSAGEWAYS OTHER THAN EXTERIOR OPENINGS SHALL BE
	LIMITED TO THOSE NECESSARY FOR EXIT ACCESS TO THE EXIT
	PASSAGEWAY FROM NORMALLY OCCUPIED SPACES AND FOR EGRESS
	FROM THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY. WHERE AN INTERIOR EXIT
	STAIRWAY OR RAMP IS EXTENDED TO AN EXIT DISCHARGE OR A
	PUBLIC WAY BY AN EXIT PASSAGEWAY, THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY
	SHALL ALSO COMPLY WITH SECTION 1022.3.1. ELEVATORS
	SHALL NOT OPEN INTO AN EXIT PASSAGEWAY.

	1023.6 PENETRATIONS.
	PENETRATIONS INTO AND OPENINGS THROUGH AN EXIT
	PASSAGEWAY ARE PROHIBITED EXCEPT FOR REQUIRED EXIT
	DOORS, EQUIPMENT AND DUCTWORK NECESSARY FOR INDEPENDENT
	PRESSURIZATION, SPRINKLER PIPING, STANDPIPES,
	ELECTRICAL RACEWAY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
	AND ELECTRICAL RACEWAY SERVING THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY AND
	TERMINATING AT A STEEL BOX NOT EXCEEDING 16 SQUARE
	INCHES (0.010M2). SUCH PENETRATIONS SHALL BE PROTECTED
	IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 714. THERE SHALL BE NO
	PENETRATIONS OR COMMUNICATING OPENINGS, WHETHER
	PROTECTED OR NOT, BETWEEN ADJACENT EXIT PASSAGEWAYS.

	2C)(3) THE 3RD ISSUE IS THERE IS A COLUMN LOCATED IN
	THE EXIT PASSAGE WAY OR EXIT ACCESS STAIRWELL AND
	MEZZANINE ABOVE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE CLEAR HEIGHT FROM
	THE BOTTOM OF THE MEZZANINE LEVEL TO THE TOP OF THE 1ST
	FLOOR FINISH FLOOR. SEE FBC-B 1003.2 & 1003.3.1
	HEADROOM.

	3) THE MEZZANINE LEVEL IS NOT CLEAR AS TO WHERE THE
	WALL LINE IS FOR THE MEZZANINE NONE ARE SHOWN. THE
	OTHER ISSUE THAT IS UNCLEAR ON THE 2ND FLOOR PLAN
	VIEWING THE MEZZANINE LEVEL THE WORDS STATE, INDICATES
	MEZZANINE ABOVE, IS THERE 2 MEZZANINES ONE ON THE 1ST
	FLOOR AND 1 ON THE 2ND FLOOR? 107.2.1.3 ADDITIONAL
	INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. THIS AREA MAYNOT BE AN ACTUAL
	MEZZANINE BY DEFINITION BUT A 505.3 EQUIPMENT
	PLATFORMS.

	EQUIPMENT PLATFORMS IN BUILDINGS SHALL NOT BE
	CONSIDERED AS A PORTION OF THE FLOOR BELOW. SUCH
	EQUIPMENT PLATFORMS SHALL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO EITHER THE
	BUILDING AREA OR THE NUMBER OF STORIES AS REGULATED BY
	SECTION 503.1. THE AREA OF THE EQUIPMENT PLATFORM SHALL
	NOT BE INCLUDED IN DETERMINING THE FIRE AREA IN
	ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 903. EQUIPMENT PLATFORMS SHALL
	NOT BE A PART OF ANY MEZZANINE AND SUCH PLATFORMS AND
	THE WALKWAYS, STAIRS, ALTERNATING TREAD DEVICES AND
	LADDERS PROVIDING ACCESS TO AN EQUIPMENT PLATFORM SHALL
	NOT SERVE AS A PART OF THE MEANS OF EGRESS FROM THE
	BUILDING.

	505.3.1 AREA LIMITATION.
	THE AGGREGATE AREA OF ALL EQUIPMENT PLATFORMS WITHIN A
	ROOM SHALL BE NOT GREATER THAN TWO-THIRDS OF THE AREA
	OF THE ROOM IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED. WHERE AN
	EQUIPMENT PLATFORM IS LOCATED IN THE SAME ROOM AS A
	MEZZANINE, THE AREA OF THE MEZZANINE SHALL BE
	DETERMINED BY SECTION 505.2.1 AND THE COMBINED
	AGGREGATE AREA OF THE EQUIPMENT PLATFORMS AND

Notes

2015-11-19 16:59:50	THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE
	MARSHAL, WITH THE FORLLOWING COMMENTS:

	1. SHEET T 1 - PROJECT DATA INDICATES A PROPOSED
	BUSINESS AND ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY. IS THE PROPOSED A
	SINGLE 2 STORY OCCUPANCY OR TWO INDIVIDUAL OCCUPANCIES?
	IF SO IT IS A MIXED OCCUPANCY OR SEPARATED OCCUPANCY.

	2. SHEET LS 1 - NO OCCUPANCY LOADS ARE INDICATED.

	BASED ON THIS REVIEW A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS
	REQUIRED.

	3. SHEET LS 1 - THE INDICATED EXIT SEPARATION ON THE
	2ND FLOOR IS NOT CODE COMPLAINT. PER NFPA 101, CHAPTER
	7, 7.5.1.3.2, WHERE TWO EXITS, EXIT ACCESSES, OR EXIT
	DISCHARGES ARE REQUIRED, THEY SHALL BE LOCATED AT A
	DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER NOT LESS THAN ONE-HALF THE
	LENGTH OF THE MAXIMUM OVERALL DIAGONAL DIMENSION OF THE
	BUILDING OR AREA TO BE SERVED, MEASURED IN A STRAIGHT
	LINE BETWEEN THE NEAREST EDGE OF THE EXITS, EXIT
	ACCESSES, OR EXIT DISCHARGES.

	4. SHEETS A 1 - A 2 - NO DETAIL OF THE MEZZANINE IS
	PROVIDED.

	NFPA 101 CHAPTER 8, 8.6.10.2.1 THE AGGREGATE AREA OF
