| | *** UNSAT 2ND REVIEW *** |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE SEE THE EXACT SAME PLANS WHICH WERE |
| | PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED ARE SUBMITTED BACK WITH OUT |
| | CORRECTIONS MADE. |
| | PLEASE SEE ONE SET HAS SOME HAND DRAWN CHANGES WHICH |
| | ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PLANS WHICH ARE SIGNED, DATED AND |

| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THAT A MEETING WAS HELD AT THE |
| | SOUTHERN SECTION MEETING IN OCT 06WHERE WE WERE |
| | DIRECTLY INFORMED BY NFPA THAT THE USE OF SD FOR SMOKE |
| | DETECTORS ON PLANS FOR RESIDENTIAL HOMES IS NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE WHEN THESE DEVICES ANY ACTUALLY FALL UNDER |
| | THE DEFINITIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS WHICH WOULD BE SHOWN AS |
| | SA/SMOKE ALARMS. |
| | THIS INFORMATION WAS NEW TO THIS AHJ AS THE GENERAL USE |
| | OF THE SD FOR SMOKE DETECTORS WAS ALWAYS ACCEPTED. |
| | BY THE DEFINITIONS AS STATED IN NFPA-72 A SD/ SMOKE |
| | DETECTOR IS ONLY A DEVICE WHICH WILL DETECT AND WILL |
| | NOT SOUND AN AUDIBLE ALARM. THIS WOULD BE DONE BY |
| | HORN/SIREN TYPE DEVICES. PLEASE SEE THE DEFINITIONS OF |
| | SA/SMOKE ALARMS; THESE ARE DEVICES WHICH ARE 120V (AS |
| | SHOWN) AND WOULD DETECT AND SOUND AN ALARM. THIS IS |
| | SOMETHING THAT IS NOW BEING COMMENTED ON OTHER REVIEWS |
| | FOR OTHER NEW HOMES. |
| | ** PLEASE SEE THAT SMOKE ALARMS ARE STATED IN THE FBC |
| | RESIDENTIAL CODE/ FBC AND IN NFPA-72. |
| | PLANS ARE BEING CORRECTED FOR OTHER ITEMS, PLEASE MAKE |
| | THIS ADJUSTMENT. |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS COMMENT PLEASE DO |
| | NOT HESITATE IN CONTACTING THIS OFFICE. |
