| | DEFINITION THIS IS LESS THAN 180 DAYS SEE |
| | ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 107.1*.THIS OFFICE DISCUSSED THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR DRY STACK FOUNDATIONS TO BE USED FOR A |
| | PERMANENT INSTALLATION WITH THE DESIGNERS, SINCE THAT |
| | TIME THIS OFFICE HAD CONCERNS WITH THIS TYPE OF |
| | INSTALLATION AND TO GET A GENERAL CONSENSUSWE LOOKED |
| | AT THE FAQ ON THE DCA WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ON |
| | MANUFACTURED BUILDINGS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USE. THERE |
| | WAS |
| | NO INFORMATION AS TO COMMERCIAL ASPECTS FOR FOUNDATIONS |
| | BUT FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS:FIND THE FOLLOWING |
| | STATEMENT ABOUT MODULAR HOMES WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO |
| | FBC, AS OPPOSED TO MOBILE HOMES WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO |
| | HUD STANDARDS.BOTH TYPES ARE CLASSIFIED AS |
| | MANUFACTURED BUILDINGS.THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT IS |
| | SPECIFIC TO MODULAR HOMES (UNDER FBC): |
| | |
| | EXTRACT FROM: |
| | WWW.DCA.STATE.FL.US/FBC/MANUFACTURED_BUILDINGS/MOBILE_V |
| | S_MODULAR_HOMES_REV.PDF |
| | |
| | |
| | MODULAR HOMES?ARE DESIGNED, BUILT, PERMITTED AND |
| | INSPECTED TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE (FBC), AND MUST |
| | BE INSTALLED ON PERMANENT FOUNDATIONS (E.G., POURED |
| | FOOTERS, STEM WALLS & POURED PIERS OR ENGINEERED SLABS, |
| | JUST LIKE SITE BUILT HOMES) THAT ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT |
| | SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT HOME BY A CONTRACTOR LICENSED BY |
| | THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL REGULATION |
| | (DBPR). IT IS A VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTES FOR A |
| | MOBILE HOME INSTALLER TO INSTALL A MODULAR HOME. TO BE |
| | ACCEPTABLE IN FLORIDA, A MODULAR HOME MUST BEAR THE |
| | INSIGNIA OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS |
| | (DCA) ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER OF THE HOME?S |
| | ELECTRICAL PANEL. THEY ARE CONSIDERED REAL PROPERTY |
| | WHEN INSTALLED ON A PERMANENT FOUNDATION, AND INSURED |
| | AS SUCH. |
| | NOTE: A FEW MODULAR MANUFACTURERS CONTINUE TO PRODUCE |
| | THEIR HOMES ON A MOBILE HOME TYPE CHASSIS (CALLED |
| | ?ON-FRAME? CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS ALLOWED IN THE FBC) |
| | AND TRANSPORT THEM ON WHEELS AND AXLES JUST LIKE MOBILE |
| | HOMES; AS OPPOSED TO MOST WHO CONSTRUCT [WITHOUT THE |
| | CHASSIS] ON TYPICAL FLOOR JOIST TYPE CONSTRUCTION AND |
| | TRANSPORT THE MODULES ON A FLAT BED TRAILER, LIFTING |
| | THEM INTO PLACE ONSITE WITH A CRANE. NO MATTER THE |
| | METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION, THE MODULAR HOME MUST BE |
| | INSTALLED BY A LICENSED CONTRACTOR ON A PERMANENT |
| | FOUNDATION, AS SPECIFIED IN CHAPTER 428.4 FBC. |
| | |
| | |
| | THESE ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR RESIDENTIAL USE BUT THE |
| | PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME.AMONG THE MULTIPLE REFERENCES |
| | TO "PERMANENT FOUNDATIONS", THE DCA GIVE EXAMPLES AS |
| | "POURED FOOTERS, STEM WALLS & POURED PIERS OR |
| | ENGINEERED SLABS, JUST LIKE SITE BUILT HOMES". |
| | |
| | WEDNESDAY JUNE 20/2007 THIS SAME QUESTION WAS ASKED TO |
| | THE BUILDING CODE ADVISORY BOARD OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, |
| | IN THE CASE OF BUILDINGS TO BE INSTALLED AS A PERMANENT |
| | INSTALLATION |
| | ( GREATER THAN 180 DAYS) THERE WAS AN AGREEMEENT THAT |
| | SOME TYPE OF PERMANENT FOUNDATION WOULD BE REQUIRED, AS |
| | HOW THIS WOULD BE DETAILED WOULD DEPEND ON THE |
| | INTERPRETATION OF THE JHA. |
| | |
| | SEE ATTACHED HUD TYPE FOUNDATION EXTRACT FROM: |
| | WWW.DCA.STATE.FL.US/FBC/MANUFACTURED_BUILDINGS/Q_AND_%2 |
| | 0AV2.PDF |
| | |
| | 11. CAN A MODULAR RESIDENCE BE INSTALLED ON A HUD TYPE |
| | (15C) FOUNDATION WITH PADS, DRY STACKED BLOCKS AND |
| | TIE-DOWNS? |
| | ANSWER. THIS IS A SITE RELATED ISSUE, SUBJECT TO CODE |
| | INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT BY THE LOCAL BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL. CHAPTER 428.4, FBC STATES: "IF THE PLANS ARE |
| | FOR A RESIDENTIAL MANUFACTURED (MODULAR) BUILDING, |
| | CERTIFICATION FROM THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBLE |
| | FOR THE PLANS THAT THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED ONLY |
| | FOR ERECTION OR INSTALLATION ON A SITE BUILT PERMANENT |
| | FOUNDATION AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE MOVED ONCE SO |
| | ERECTED". |
| | NOTE: THE INSTALLATION OF A MODULAR HOME ON A HUD TYPE |
| | FOUNDATION MAY PRECLUDE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE |
| | RESIDENCE AS ?REAL PROPERTY? BY THE LOCAL PROPERTY |
| | APPRAISER?S OFFICE AND TRIGGER HIGHER INSURANCE RATES |
| | THAT TYPICALLY APPLY TO HUD TYPE HOMES, OFTEN |
| | CLASSIFIED AS ?PERSONAL PROPERTY?. |
| | |
| | AS OF THIS MORNING (6-21-07) MEETING WITH THE ASSIT. |
| | BUILING OFFICIAL ROBERT BROWN AND THE BUILDING OFFICIAL |
| | NEIL MELICK AND REVIEWING THE FINDINGS OF THE BCAB |
| | BOARD THIS OFFICE FEELS THE NEED FOR A PERMANENT |
| | FOUNDATION WILL BE REQUIRED ALONG WITH TIE-DOWN |
| | INFORMATION TO TIE THE STRUCTURE DOWN THROUGH TO THE |
| | FOUNDATION. THE TAC THAT GAVE A RECOMMENDATION |
| | INDICATED THAT A BINDING INTERPRETATION WOULD NEED TO |
| | BE A DECLARATORY STATMENT, THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIALS INTERPRETATION STANDS UNTIL A DEC STATEMENT |
| | IS DECLARED OR YOU GO FOR A VARIANCE IN DISAGREEMENT OF |
| | THE BUILDING OFFICIALS INTERPRETATION. |
| | |
| | 102.1* WHERE, IN ANY SPECIFIC CASE, DIFFERENT SECTIONS |
| | OF THIS CODE SPECIFY DIFFERENT MATERIALS, METHODS OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS, THE MOST |
| | RESTRICTIVE SHALL GOVERN. WHERE THERE IS A CONFLICT |
| | BETWEEN A GENERAL REQUIREMENT AND A SPECIFIC |
| | REQUIREMENT, THE SPECIFIC |
| | REQUIREMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE. |
