| | |
| | 1) SUBMIT TWO COPIES OF PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR THE |
| | EXTERIOR DOOR, WALL LOUVERS, WALL PANELS, ETC. AS |
| | REQUIRED BY DCA RULE 9B-72. |
| | |
| | **THIS ITEM CAN BE ADDRESSED BY SUBMITTING LOCAL OR |
| | SITE SPECIFIC PRODUCT APPROVALS. |
| | |
| | 2) FBC 106.3* CITY AMENDMENTS PRODUCT APPROVALS. THOSE |
| | PRODUCT WHICH ARE REGULATED BY DCA RULE 9B-72 SHALL BE |
| | REVIEWED AND APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE DESIGNER OF |
| | RECORD PRIOR TO SUBMITTAL FOR JURISDICTIONAL APPROVAL. |
| | PREVIOUS COMMENT #8 |
| | |
| | **HAVE THE DESIGNER OF RECORD REVIEW AND APPROVE THE |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS IN WRITING. |
| | |
| | 3) THE RESPONSE TO COMMENT #13 INDICATES THAT (4) 150 |
| | POUND CYLINDERS OF CHLORINE GAS WILL BE HOUSED IN THIS |
| | BUILDING. EACH 150 POUND CYLINDER CONTAINS 810 CUBIC |
| | FEET OF CHLORINE GAS. THEREFORE, THERE WILL BE 3240 |
| | CUBIC FEET OF GAS STORED IN THE BUILDING. THE MATERIAL |
| | SAFETY DATA SHEET CLASSIFIES CHLORINE AS AN OXIDIZING |
| | GAS. PER FBC TABLE 307.7(1), THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE |
| | QUANTITY THAT CAN BE STORED (OR IN USE PER FOOTNOTE B) |
| | IS 1500 CUBIC FEET. IF THIS AMOUNT IS EXCEEDED THEN THE |
| | OCCUPANCY IS REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED H-3. FOOTNOTES D |
| | AND E TO THE TABLE EACH ALLOW THE QUANTITIES TO BE |
| | INCREASED 100 PERCENT. THE INCREASE FOR BOTH ARE |
| | APPLIED ACCUMULATIVELY. SEE FBC 307.1 AND TABLE |
| | 307.7(1) |
| | |
| | **THE PROPOSED SAFETY FEATURE DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS |
| | COMMENT. IT WILL CLOSE THE VALVE BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN |
| | OR PROTECT THE CYLINDERS. |
| | |
| | 4) THE SITE PLAN SHOWS THAT THE 1 STORY BUILDING IS |
| | 3.20' TO THE WEST OF THE NEW BUILDING. FBC 704.3 |
| | ADDRESSES BUILDINGS ON THE SAME LOT WITH AN IMAGINARY |
| | LINE BETWEEN THEM. SEE FBC 702.1 FOR DEFINITION OF FIRE |
| | SEPARATION DISTANCE. NOTE THAT THE FIRE SEPARATION |
| | DISTANCE IS NOT THE DISTANCE FROM BUILDING TO BUILDING, |
| | BUT TO AN IMAGINARY LINE BETWEEN THEM SUCH THAT EACH |
| | BUILDING COMPLIES WITH TABLE 602 AND TABLE 704.8. TABLE |
| | 602 REQUIRES GROUP H TYPE V-B WITH LESS THAN 5 FEET |
| | FIRE SEPARATION DISTANCE TO HAVE 3 HOUR FIRE RATED |
| | WALLS. USING THE EXCEPTION TO 704.3 ALLOWS THE |
| | BUILDINGS TO BE CONSIDERED AS PORTIONS OF ONE BUILDING |
| | IF THE AGGREGATE AREA OF THE BUILDINGS IS WITHIN THE |
| | LIMITS SPECIFIED FOR ONE BUILDING. UNDER 302.3.2 |
| | SEPARATED USES THE NEW H-3 OCCUPANCY WOULD BE REQUIRED |
| | TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE EXISTING F-1 OCCUPANCY WITH |
| | ONE HOUR FIRE RATED WALLS. PREVIOUS COMMENTS #9, |
| | #10,#11 AND #12. |
| | |
| | **THE PROPOSED SAFETY FEATURE DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS |
| | COMMENT. H-3 OCCUPANCY SEPARATION SHALL COMPLY WITH FBC |
| | TABLE 602 AND 415.3.1 FOR DISTANCE TO LOT LINES. |
