| | 2017 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2017 WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, |
| | ADMINISTRATION. |
| | |

| | CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND SPACES |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLORIDA |
| | BUILDING CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: MONDAY, MARCH 02/2020 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) THE PROPOSED GATE DESIGN DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE |
| | BASE BUILDING PLAN BLD-COM 16061443 THE CANOPY HOTEL, |
| | SHEET A1.11 THE 1ST FLOOR LIFE SAFETY PLAN WHICH SHOWS |
| | AN EXTERIOR WALL AND SWING GATE OR DOOR WAY. CORRIDOR |
| | 105 IS PART OF A 2 HOUR EXIT PASSAGEWAY. ONE OF THE |
| | EXIT DISCHARGE DOORS IN THIS EXIT PASSAGE WAY LEADS |
| | DIRECTLY INTO THIS ALLEYWAY / EGRESS COURT WHICH IS |
| | PART OF THE MEANS OF EGRESS TO THE PUBLIC WAY. |
| | THE PROPOSED PLAN FAILS TO SHOW CODE COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | THE 2017 FBC-B SECTIONS: |
| | |
| | 1A). SECTION 1028.5 ACCESS TO A PUBLIC WAY. THE EXIT |
| | DISCHARGE SHALL PROVIDE DIRECT ACCESS AND UNOBSTRUCTED |
| | ACCESS TO A PUBLIC WAY. THE SITE PLAN NOR SHEET ST18 |
| | INDICATE THAT THIS GATE WILL BE LOCKED, BUT THE FIRE |
| | DEPARTMENT INDICATES WITH A PROVISO, A KNOX BOX IS TO |
| | BE INSTALLED AT GATE FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS. THIS |
| | WOULD MEAN THE GATE WOULD BE LOCKED AND FAIL TO MEET |
| | THE REQUIREMENT FOR UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC |
| | WAY. |
| | |
| | 1B). ANOTHER ISSUE IS THIS SWING GATE IS APPROXIMATELY |
| | 11 FEET 9INCHES IN WIDTH. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION FBC-B |
| | 1010.1.1 FOR THE MAXIMUM WIDTH OF A SWINGING DOOR/ GATE |
| | (PART OF A MEANS OF EGRESS) IS 48 INCHES. |
| | |
| | 1C). THE BASE BUILDING PERMIT 16061443 SHOWS THE |
| | PROPOSED OCCUPANT LOAD OF 95 OCCUPANTS GOING THROUGH |
| | THE EXIT DISCHARGE DOOR. THIS SAME OCCUPANT LOAD WOULD |
| | BE GOING THROUGH THE PROPOSED NEW GATE/ DOORWAY. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW SECTION 1010.1.10 OF THE 2017 FBC-B FOR THE |
| | REQUIREMENT FOR PANIC AND FIRE EXIT HARDWARE. |
| | |
| | 1D). THE PROPOSED GATE IS SHOWN ON SHEET ST18 BEING 2 |
| | FEET BACK FROM THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING. WITH THE |
| | GATE BEING 11 FEET 9 INCHES IT WOULD SWING OUT OVER THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE. SECTION 3202.2 ENCROACHMENTS ABOVE GRADE |
| | AND BELOW 8 FEET IN HEIGHT. DOORS AND WINDOWS SHALL NOT |
| | OPEN OR PROJECT INTO THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. |
| | |
| | 2) WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION |
| | & REMOVE ANY VOIDED SHEETS & REPLACE ANY PAGES AS |
| | NECESSARY. A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL |
| | REVIEW COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE |
| | REVISION MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION |
| | PAGE WHERE THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO |
| | EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED |
| | COOPERATION. |
