| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2005 AND 2006 REVISIONS FBC |
| | CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | NOTE: THE WRITTEN RESPONS TO PREVIOUS MECHANICAL REVIEW |
| | COMMENTS IS NOT AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF THE |
| | MECHANICAL PLAN REVIEW HISTORY RELATED TO THESE PLANS. |
| | THE PLANS WERE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AS A REVISION TO |
| | THE SHELL BUILDING. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT REVIEWED AT |
| | THAT TIME. THEY WERE REJECTED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY |
| | WERE NOT DESIGNED BY THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE |
| | SHELL AND WERE DONE UNDER THE WRONG CODE (2004 FBC, |
| | WHILE THE SHELL IS UNDER THE 2001 FBC). IF THE PLANS |
| | WERE LOST, THEY WERE NOT LOST BY THIS OFFICE, AS OUR |
| | POLICY IS NOT TO RETAIN DENIED PLANS. ALL SETS ARE |
| | RETURNED TO THE CONTRACTOR ONCE REVIEWS ARE COMPLETE. |
| | IN FACT, OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT PETE LOMBARDI PICKED |
| | UP THE DENIED PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL AND |
