	COMMENTS FROM FIRST REVIEW, SHUTTER PERMIT 08090146

	1. IMPACT RATED PRODUCT APPROVALS WERE SUBMITTED FOR
	THE BUILDING, 07100650. IF YOU PROPOSE TO USE NON RATED
	PRODUCTS, HAVE THE PROPOSED PRODUCTS REVIEWED BY THE
	ARCHITECT FBC*106.3.3 AND SUBMIT AS A REVISION TO
	07100650.

	A. SHEET A1, REVISE NOTE REGARDING USE OF STORM PANELS.
	THE FRONT DOOR, A REQUIRED EXIT, CANNOT BE OBSTRUCTED
	BY REMOVABLE PANELS FBC1003.6.

	B. THE PRODUCT APPROVALS ARE TO BE REVIEWED BY DESIGNER
	OF RECORD FBC*106.3.3. THIS CAN BE DONE BY EITHER A
	LETTER, SHOP DRAWING REVIEW STAMP, SPECIFYING THE
	PRODUCTS IN THE SIGNED AND SEALED PLAN, OR ANY OTHER
	METHOD WHICH SHOWS COMPLIANCE WITH FBC*106.3.3.

	C. NOA 06-0818.02, ARCH ALUMINUM NON-IMPACT OUTSWING
	DOOR WAS SUBMITTED. SEE OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING
	FBC1003.6, MEANS OF EGRESS CONTINUITY.

	D. NOA 06-0818.02, SEE SHEET 1 OF 9; THIS PRODUCT IS
	NOT TO BE USED WHERE WATER INFILTRATION IS NOT
	ACCEPTABLE. AS THE OVERHANG IS 2', THE ANGLE (BOTTOM OF
	DOOR TO EDGE OF OVERHANG) APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN THE
	45 DEGREES REQUIRED. PLEASE ADDRESS.

	E. NOA 05-0902.01, ARCH ALUMINUM SERIES 4500 STOREFRONT
	NON-IMPACT, APPEARS TO BE CODE COMPLIANT (DESIGN
	PRESSURES). PLEASE ADDRESS THE OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING
	REVIEW BY DESIGNER OF RECORD AND IMPACT PROTECTION.

	F. THE SHOP DRAWINGS PREPARED BY ENGINEERING EXPRESS IS
	DELEGATED ENGINEERING; PLEASE HAVE REVIEWED BY DESIGNER
	OF RECORD FAC61G15-31.001.

	G. THE SHOP DRAWINGS PREPARED BY ENGINEERING EXPRESS ,
	SHEET 1, STATES THAT THIS IS EXPOSURE C, BUT APPEARS TO
	USE EXPOSURE B PRESSURES. PLEASE CLARIFY OR REVISE
	FBC1609. THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE STRUCTURE HAS
	DECLARED EXPOSURE B.

	2. USE OF REMOVABLE IMPACT PROTECTION ON COMMERCIAL
	BUILDINGS IS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.
	SUBMIT A PRESTORM PREPARATION PLAN, SEE ITEM 13,
	ATTACHED. THIS MAY BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL FOR
	PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO HAVE THE
	PRESTORM PREPATION PLAN APPROVED PRIOR TO RESUBMITTAL
	OF THE SHUTTER PERMIT.

	SEE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE, 10/2/8 TO 10/8/8. THE
	PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN SUBMITTED IS THE SAME PLAN
	SUBMITTED AND DENIED IN THE EMAIL OF 10/2/8. CONTRACTOR
	WAS ADVISED: " PLEASE REVISE THE PLAN TO INCLUDE THE
	NAMES, TITLES, AND ENTITIES AS WELL AS THE OTHER
	INFORMATION REQUESTED. I KNOW THAT PRESENTING THE PLAN
	"AS IS" WOULD RESULT IN IT BEING DENIED. IF YOU INSIST,
	I WILL SUBMIT IT TO ROBERT BROWN AS SUBMITTED WITHOUT
	THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED BUT THIS WILL ONLY CAUSE
	FURTHER DELAYS AS, FROM EXPERIENCE, I KNOW WHAT
	INFORMATION HE REQUIRES ON THE PRESTORM PREPARATION
	PLAN TO CONSIDER USE OF REMOVABLE STORM PANELS." AS THE
	CONTRACTOR HAS SUBMITTED THE PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN
	WITHOUT THE REQUESTED REVISIONS, LUIS MARTINEZ (CHIEF
	PLANS EXAMINER) HAD THE PLAN REVIEWED BY ROBERT BROWN,
	INTERIM BUILDING OFFICIAL. HE CONFIRMED THE REQUIREMENT
	FOR THE REQUESTED INFORMATION IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
	WHETHER OR NOT REMOVABLE PANELS WILL BE PERMITTED FOR
	THIS BUILDING.

	PLEASE REVISE THE PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN AS
	REQUESTED IN THE EMAIL OF 10/8/8. TO SUMMARIZE:

	A. THE PLAN IS TO BE SIGNED BY THE OWNER. ONLY THE
	CONTRACTOR AND DEVELOPER ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRE-STORM
	PREPARATION PLAN SIGNATURE LINES. THIS IS AN AGREEMENT
	MADE BY THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING REGARDLESS OF TENANT
	RESPONSIBILITIES. IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY, THE
	OWNER MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE ABILITY
	TO ENSURE THAT THE STORM PANELS ARE INSTALLED IN THE
	TIME FRAME REQUIRED.

	B. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION REGARDING J. RAYMOND
	CONSTRUCTION SUCH AS WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED, NUMBER OF
	EMPLOYEES, NUMBER OF JOBS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
	NOTE THAT THIS COMPANY IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF PALM BEACH
	COUNTY. THE IMPLEMENTATION STANDARD REQUIRES THAT THE
	PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR SHUTTER INSTALLATION IS TO BE
	LOCATED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. PROVIDE THE INFORMATION
	REQUESTED AND ADDRESS THE LOCATION ISSUE.

	C. THE PLAN STATES THAT THE DOOR WILL BE PROTECTED (BY
	STORM PANELS); THE EGRESS PATH CANNOT BE OBSTRUCTED BY
	ELEMENTS OTHER THAN THOSE PERMITTED IN FBC CHAPTER 10.
	PLEASE REVISE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FBC CHAPTER 10.

	D. THE PLAN STATES THAT THE SHUTTERS WILL BE LOCATED IN
	THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING SLAB. THE FLOOR
	PLAN SHOWS THAT THE AREA OF SHUTTER STORAGE IS THE
	LOCATION OF THE FUTURE ACCESSIBLE BATHROOMS. HOW WILL
	THEY BE SECURED TO PREVENT THEFT? WILL THE PANELS BE
	STORED HORIZONTALLY OR VERTICALLY? IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT
	WILL HAPPEN TO THE SHUTTERS WHEN THE BATHROOM IS
	INSTALLED; THIS APPEARS TO BE A TEMPORARY STORAGE
	SOLUTION. HOW THESE SHUTTERS WILL BE SECURED,
	ESPECIALLY DURING THE TENANT BUILDOUT, WAS NOT
	ADDRESSED.

	3. PROVIDE A FLOOR PLAN SHOWING PROPOSED SHUTTER
	LOCATIONS. (COMMENT FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW.)

	THIS ITEM WAS ADDRESSED, BUT THE FRONT DOOR CANNOT BE
	BLOCKED BY STORM PANELS FBC1003.6. REVISE.

	4. COMPLETE THE ATTACHED INSTALLATION SCHEDULE OR
	PROVIDE ALL INFORMATION TO SHOW CODE COMPLIANCE IN
	ANOTHER FORMAT, FBC*106. TWO SETS REQUIRED.
	HTTP://WWW.CITYOFWPB.COM/CONSTRUCTION/PDF/SCHEDULE_FOR_
	INSTALLATION.PDF

	A. THE INSTALLATION SCHEDULE WAS NOT COMPLETE. IT WAS
	SUBMITTED, BUT COLUMNS 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 ARE BLANK.

	B. THE PRODUCT APPROVAL IS DIFFICULT TO READ. IT
	APPEARS TO BE A PHOTOCOPY OF A FAX. PLEASE PROVIDE
	LEGIBLE COPIES; TWO SETS PRINTED DIRECTLY FROM THE
	WEBSITE WWW.FLORIDABUILDING.ORG MAY BE LEGIBLE.

	C. THE ANCHOR TYPE IS TO CORRELATE WITH THE ANCHORS ON
	THE PRODUCT APPROVAL, SEE SHEET 6 OF 9. I DID NOT SEE A
	"DROP IN ANCHOR SIDEWALK BOLT" AS A CHOICE, BUT IT'S
	POSSIBLE THAT IT IS THERE, BUT I CAN'T READ IT. BEFORE
	RESUBMITTING, PLEASE BE SURE THAT THE ANCHOR TYPE IS
	CLEARLY SPECIFIED AND CORRELATES WITH INFORMATION IN
	THE PRODUCT APPROVAL.

	D. A COMPLETE LIST CANNOT BE DONE AT THIS TIME DUE TO
	INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION.

	5. MEANS OF EGRESS CANNOT BE BLOCKED BY A HURRICANE
	STORM PANEL, FBC1003.6, MEANS OF EGRESS CONTINUITY.

	THIS ITEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED.

	6. THE BUILDING PERMIT WAS FOR A SHELL BUILDING.
	REMOVABLE PANELS, IF APPROVED, ARE TO BE STORED ON
	SITE. IN THE PRE STORM PREPARATION PLAN, INCLUDE
	INFORMATION REGARDING STORAGE OF SHUTTERS.

	SEE OTHER COMMENTS. THIS ITEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED;
	INFORMATION REQUESTED WAS NOT PROVIDED. PLEASE REVISE
	THE PLAN TO INCLUDE ALL REQUESTED INFORMATION. WHEN THE
	PLAN IS COMPLETE AND HAS ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED, IT
	WILL THEN BE FORWARDED TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR
	REVIEW.

	***THE PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN (ONLY) CAN BE
	SUBMITTED BY EMAIL FOR PRELIMINARY REVIEW***

	A C.O. HOLD HAS BEEN PLACED ON THIS PERMIT PENDING
	RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE.

	AS DISCUSSED, THIS CAN BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO
	RESUBMITTAL OF THE REVISION/PLANS. THE CONTRACTOR IS
	ENCOURAGED TO GET THIS APPROVED BEFORE RESUBMITTAL TO
	AVOID ADDITIONAL DELAYS. IN THIS CASE, THE CONTRACTOR
	WAS ADVISED OF MANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS VIA EMAIL BUT
	ELECTED TO DISREGARD THEM. THE NEED FOR ALL INFORMATION
	REQUESTED HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.
	AS DISCUSSED, TO AVOID FURTHER DELAYS, THE CONTRACTOR
	IS ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT THE PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN
	BY EMAIL AND TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED PRIOR TO
	RESUBMITTAL OF THE REVISION. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY REVIEW
	IS PRELIMINARY; THE BUILDING OFFICIAL MIGHT REQUIRE
	ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

	EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE, PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN:


	EMAIL #3 OF 3
	(EMAIL SENT ON 10/8/8)

	THE PRESTORM PREPARATION PLAN SHOULD BE REVISED TO
	INCLUDE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. THE INFORMATION
	SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED INTO ONE DOCUMENT, WHICH IS AN
	AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE OWNER. THE CONTRACT WITH THE
	ENTITY WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION OF THE
	SHUTTERS SHOULD BE AN ATTACHMENT TO THE PRESTORM
	PREPARATION PLAN. THE REQUESTED INFORMATION REGARDING
	THE COMPANY COULD BE INCLUDED IN EITHER THE PLAN OR THE
	CONTRACT, BUT THIS INFORMATION IS REQUIRED AS THE
	POLICY, ITEM 13, STATES PARAMETERS FOR THE INDIVIDUALS
	DOING THE INSTALLATION.

	CHAPTER 10 DOES NOT PERMIT USE OF REMOVABLE STORM
	PANELS TO PROVIDE IMPACT PROTECTION FOR A REQUIRED EXIT
	DOOR. THERE IS A PROVISION FOR EMERGENCY IMPACT
	PROTECTION FOR RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANIES WITH PROVISIONS
	FOR ALTERNATE MEANS OF EGRESS, BUT NOT FOR OTHER
	OCCUPANCIES. YOU CANNOT BLOCK THE MAIN EXIT IN A
	COMMERCIAL BUILDING WITH STORM PANELS, FBC1003.6.

	THE PRESTORM PREPARATION PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE THE
	SIGNATURE LINE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE GOING TO SIGN
	THE PLAN. IT DID NOT APPEARS THAT THE OWNER WAS ONE OF
	THE INDIVIDUALS. PLEASE REVISE THE PLAN TO INCLUDE THE
	NAMES, TITLES, AND ENTITIES AS WELL AS THE OTHER
	INFORMATION REQUESTED. I KNOW THAT PRESENTING THE PLAN
	"AS IS" WOULD RESULT IN IT BEING DENIED. IF YOU INSIST,
	I WILL SUBMIT IT TO ROBERT BROWN AS SUBMITTED WITHOUT
	THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED BUT THIS WILL ONLY CAUSE
	FURTHER DELAYS AS, FROM EXPERIENCE, I KNOW WHAT
	INFORMATION HE REQUIRES ON THE PRESTORM PREPARATION
	PLAN TO CONSIDER USE OF REMOVABLE STORM PANELS. I DO A
	PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE PLAN FOR COMPLETENESS OF
	INFORMATION; THE BUILDING OFFICIAL MAKES THE DECISION
	AS TO WHETHER OR NOT REMOVABLE PANELS WILL BE PERMITTED
	ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
	PERMIT WAS ISSUED WITH IMPACT GLAZING. ANY CHANGE OF
	PRODUCTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AS A REVISION PRIOR
	TO INSTALLATION.

	PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED FURTHER
	ASSISTANCE.

	RE: BAYWINDS RETAIL - PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN





	MRS. HILL,

	PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES,
	THIS BUILDING WILL
	REMAIN UNOCCUPIED. THE SHUTTER PERMIT IS ATTACHED TO
	THE MASTER PERMIT
	07100650, WHICH IS A PERMIT FOR THE SHELL CONSTRUCTION
	ONLY. THE INTERIOR
	PERMIT APPLICATION IS CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY THE
	BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
	THE PRE-STORM PREPARATION PLAN THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED
	FOR YOUR REVIEW IS
	ONLY TEMPORARY UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE INTERIOR
	CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE
	AND THE TENANT TAKES RESIDENCY. AT WHICH TIME, A NEW
	PERMANENT PRE-STORM
	PREPARATION PLAN SHALL BE DEVISED AND SUBMITTED FOR
	APPROVAL. IN ORDER TO
	OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION FOR THE SHELL PERMIT
	ONLY, THE SHUTTER
	PERMIT WILL NEED TO BE APPROVED, INSPECTED AND CLOSED,
	BEFORE A BUILDING
	FINAL INSPECTION CAN TAKE PLACE.

	WITH THAT IN MIND, PLEASE FIND THE ANSWERS TO YOUR
	INQUIRES LISTED BELOW:

	1) J. RAYMOND CONSTRUCTION IS A COMMERCIAL GENERAL
	CONTRACTOR WITH A MAIN
	OFFICE LOCATED IN LONGWOOD FLORIDA. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE
	FOR THE
	CONSTRUCTION OF MANY PROJECTS LOCATED IN VARIOUS
	MUNICIPALITIES THROUGHOUT
	THE STATE. WE DO HOWEVER, HAVE A STRONG PRESENCE IN THE
	TRI-COUNTY AREA,
	AS WELL AS MANY EMPLOYEES WHO LIVE HERE.

	2) THE FRONT DOOR SHALL BE PROTECTED AS REQUIRED BY
	CHAPTER 10 IN THE FBC.
	THE EMERGENCY MEANS OF EGRESS THROUGH THE REAR STEEL
	EXIT DOORS (EQUIPPED
	WITH A PANIC DEVICE) WILL NOT BE OBSTRUCTED.

	3) THE PANELS WILL BE STORED HORIZONTALLY ON THE EMPTY
	SHELL SLAB IN THE
	NW CORNER OF THE BUILDING. A FLOOR PLAN WITH THIS
	INFORMATION WILL BE
	ATTACHED TO THE FINAL SUBMISSION PACKAGE. THE PANELS
	WILL BE PROTECTED
	FROM THEFT BY KEEPING ALL DOORS LOCKED DURING NON
	CONSTRUCTION HOURS. AT
	WHICH TIME THE INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE, THE
	PANELS WILL BE MOVED
	TO A MORE SECURE STORAGE CLOSET.

	4) AT THE TIME OF THE OFFICIAL SUBMITTAL OF THE
	PRE-STORM PREPARATION
	PLAN, ALL REQUIRED SIGNATURES WILL BE OBTAINED.
