| | BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF SHEET 1 OF 5, "A 33% INCREASE IN |
| | ALLOWABLE STRESS WAS USED IN DESIGN OF ANCHORS."THIS |
| | IS NOT COMPLIANY WITH THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, |
| | FBC1605.3.1.1(2), BUT WAS PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED UNDER THE |
| | SOUTH FLORIDA BUILDING CODE.THIS COMMENT MAY BE |
| | ADDRESSED IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WAYS: |
| | |
| | A.A LETTER STATING THAT ANCHORING WITHOUT THE 33% |
| | STRESS INCREASE HAS BEEN PERFORMED, REVISE ANCHORING |
| | ACCORDINGLY.THIS MAY BE DONE BY THE ENGINEER FOR THE |

| | TO REFER TO PAGES (SEE ITEM 7). |
| | |
| | 7.THE SECOND SHEET, THIRD SHEET, AND OTHER SHEETS |
| | HAVE "#VALUE!" IN A BOX WHERE THERE SHOULD BE A NUMBER. |

| | LETTERS AT OPENINGS BUT NO SIZES OR TYPE (DOOR, WINDOW, |
| | OR SGD) PER OPENING AND THE LETTERS DO NOT CORRELATE |
| | WITH ANYTHING. |
