| | COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS LIST: |
| | |
| | 1. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 2. IMPACT FEES MUST BE PAID TO PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE |
| | PLANS MUST BE STAMPED AND THE RECEIPT ATTACHED TO THE |
| | APPLICATION. 561-233-5025. THIS MAY BE DONE AS A PART |
| | OF THE STRUCTURAL PERMIT, AS IT IS LIKELY THAT THE |
| | STRUCTURAL PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED FIRST. |
| | |
| | 3. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 4. INFORMATIONAL, A PERMIT MUST BE APPLIED FOR PRIOR TO |
| | MARCH 1, 2009 TO BE ISSUED UNDER FBC2004 W/2007 |
| | REVISIONS AS GOVERNING CODE. THIS IS A PLAN CHECK ONLY. |
| | THE PLAN REVIEW WILL REMAIN IN FAILED STATUS UNTIL A |
| | PERMIT APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. |
| | |
| | 5-6. PLEASE INCLUDE A COPY OF THE THRESHOLD INSPECTION |
| | PLAN AND THE RESIDENT INSPECTOR AGREEMENT IN THE |
| | RESUBMITTAL OR ADVISE IF IT IS A PART OF THE STRUCTURE |
| | SHELL PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 7-12. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 13. SEE FBC1009.11.5, PLEASE SHOW HANDRAIL EXTENSIONS |
| | WITH DIMENSIONS ON THE PLAN. NOTE THAT EXTENSIONS ARE |
| | NOT SHOWN ON THE PLAN A3, OTHER PLACES, BUT ARE SHOWN |
| | ON THE SECTION, A6. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, HANDRAIL EXTENSIONS NOT SHOWN AT TOP OF |
| | STAIR 2, LS1; TOP OF STAIR 1, LS1; FRONT STAIR, |
| | REMODELED STAIR ENCLOSURE (A2), FIRST FLOOR (A1). IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THE REQUIRED STAIR EXTENSION AT STAIR 2 |
| | MAY INTERFERE WITH DOOR SWING. REMODELED SECOND FLOOR |
| | PLAN A2 SHOWS HANDRAIL ON ONE SIDE ONLY (CENTER). |
| | PLEASE CHECK ALL STAIR PLANS. |
| | |
| | 3RD REVIEW, COMMENT WAS NOT ADDRESSED. ARCHITECT?S |
| | RESPONSE WAS: ?ALL STAIR PLANS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND |
| | UPDATED TO SHOW THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY SECTION |
| | 1009.11.5. SEE SHEET LS-1 FOR COMPLIANCE NOTES.? |
| | |
| | PLEASE SEE FBC1009.11.5: HANDRAIL EXTENSIONS. HANDRAILS |
| | SHALL RETURN TO A WALL, GUARD OR THE WALKING SURFACE OR |
| | SHALL BE CONTINUOUS TO THE HANDRAIL OF AN ADJACENT |
| | STAIR FLIGHT. WHERE HANDRAILS ARE NOT CONTINUOUS |
| | BETWEEN FLIGHTS, THE HANDRAILS SHALL EXTEND |
| | HORIZONTALLY AT LEAST 12 INCHES BEYOND THE TOP RISER |
| | AND CONTINUE TO SLOPE FOR THE DEPTH OF ONE TREAD BEYOND |
| | THE BOTTOM RISER.? |
| | |
| | I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE AREAS WHERE THE HANDRAIL |
| | EXTENSIONS ARE MISSING ON THE PLAN (SAME LOCATIONS AS |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW). PLEASE REVISE HANDRAILS AT THE |
| | FOLLOWING LOCATIONS (AND CHECK ALL FOR COMPLIANCE): |
| | |
| | A. LS1, PROPOSED STAIR CORRIDOR, TOP LEFT OF FLOOR |
| | PLAN, ONE HANDRAIL IS MISSING THE EXTENSION AT THE TOP. |
| | |
| | B. LS1, PROPOSED ROOF TOP LIFE SAFETY PLAN, TOP LEFT, |
| | NO EXTENSION ON ONE SIDE OF THE HAND RAIL, TOP. THIS |
| | EXTENSION WILL BLOCK THE DOOR. |
| | |
| | C. LS1, PROPOSED STAIR CORRIDOR, MIDDLE SECTION OF |
| | STAIR AT LANDING, BY THE 48? DOOR, NO EXTENSION AT |
| | BOTTOM OF STAIR RUN WHERE THE STAIR CHANGES DIRECTION; |
| | AS DRAWN, HANDRAIL TO THE INSIDE ENDS BEFORE THE END OF |
| | THE LAST TREAD. |
| | |
| | D. LS1, PROPOSED ROOF TOP LIFE SAFETY PLAN, TOP STAIR |
| | #2, NO EXTENSION AT THE TOP OF THE STAIR (BY THE DOOR). |
| | IT APPEARS THAT THIS EXTENSION WILL BLOCK THE DOOR |
| | (SAME STAIR AREA AS ITEM B). |
| | |
| | E. A2, PROPOSED STAIR CIRCULATION PLAN, TOP STAIR #2, |
| | NO EXTENSION AT THE TOP OF THE STAIR (SAME AS B AND D). |
| | |
| | F. SAME STAIR AS (E), A2, PROPOSED STAIR CIRCULATION |
| | PLAN, INTERMEDIATE LANDING NEAR DOOR 201 MISSING |
| | HANDRAIL WHERE STAIRS CHANGE DIRECTIONS; ALSO PROPOSED |
| | STAIR CORRIDOR LIFE SAFETY PLAN LS1. |
| | |
| | G. A3 AND LS1, LABELED SOUTH EGRESS STAIR, TOP, BOTH |
| | SIDES, EXTENSIONS APPEAR LESS THAN THE REQUIRED 12 |
| | INCHES. |
| | |
| | 14-23. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 24. CODE COMPLIANCE FOR THIS ITEM (BUILDING TYPE) |
| | SHOULD BE SHOWN ON THE STRUCTURAL PERMIT, BUT SHOULD BE |
| | INCLUDED ON THIS PLAN AS WELL. THE NEW PLAN HAS BEEN |
| | REVISED TO DECLARE TYPE IIIA, RESPONSE LETTER STATES |
| | THIS IS TYPE IIIB. PLEASE CONFIRM BUILDING TYPE. |
| | |
| | 25-32. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 33. PREVIOUS COMMENTS STATED THAT FIRE RESISTANCE IS TO |
| | BE CONTINUOUS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DECK ABOVE, |
| | FBC707.4, 707.5. ARCHITECT?S RESPONSE STATED THAT FIRE |
| | RESISTANCE CONTINUITY REQUIREMENTS WERE STATED ON NTS. |
| | SEE M2, DUCTWORK SHOWN ABOVE THE STAIRS AND DUCTWORK |
| | SHOWN IN THE ELEVATOR LOBBY AREA. THE EXIT TERMINATES |
| | AT THE EXIT DISCHARGE, WHICH WOULD BE THE EXTERIOR |
| | DOOR, DUCT IS SHOWN AT THE STAIRWAY DOOR. |
| | |
| | SHEET A2 SPECIFIES FIRE RATED PARTITIONS FOR THE |
| | STAIRS. SEE FBC1019.1, FIRE BARRIERS REQUIRED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBC706, NOT FIRE PARTITIONS FBC708. THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS DIFFER, AND PARTITIONS ARE |
| | LESS STRINGENT THAN BARRIERS. PLEASE CLARIFY COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AS A FIRE BARRIER. |
| | |
| | FOR INSTANCE, SEE B A12. WALLS W1, W6 SHOW THE WALL |
| | TERMINATING AT THE CEILING ABOVE RATHER THAN AT THE |
| | ROOF DECK ABOVE. A A12 ALSO SHOWS THE RATED WALL W6 |
| | ENDING AT A CEILING, RATHER THAN EXTENDING UP TO THE |
| | BOTTOM OF THE ROOF DECK. IT ALSO SHOWS A 1 HOUR FIRE |
| | RATED CEILING ABOVE THE STAIR, NOT CLEAR HOW THIS |
| | COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR FIRE RATING TO BE |
| | CONTINUOUS TO THE ROOF DECK OR FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLY |
| | ABOVE. SEE ALSO A14. |
| | |
| | AS STRUCTURALS ARE NOT A PART OF THIS PERMIT, AND THE |
| | RENOVATION IS SOMEWHAT COMPLEX, IT IS DIFFICULT TO |
| | DETERMINE EXACT CONSTRUCTION BASED ON THE INFORMATION |
| | PROVIDED. THE WALLS ARE SPECIFIED AS RATED WALLS, |
| | STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS RATED, BUT NOTE THE REQUIREMENT FOR |
| | THE SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION TO BE RATED AS WELL, |
| | INCLUDING EXISTING CONSTRUCTION (VERTICAL EXITS). |
| | ARCHITECT?S RESPONSE STATES THAT THE WALLS ARE |
| | CONTINUOUS, THE PLANS STATE THEY ARE CONTINUOUS, BUT |
| | THE DETAILS PROVIDED DO NOT SHOW CONTINUOUS WALLS. |
| | PLEASE REVISE DETAILS TO CLEARLY SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | FBC707.4, 707.5, AND REVISE NOTES WHICH SPECIFY FIRE |
| | PARTITIONS TO SPECIFY FIRE BARRIERS AS REQUIRED BY |
| | FBC1019.1. ALSO COORDINATE WITH MECHANICAL ENGINEER; |
| | CLARIFY DUCTS IN THE OPEN SPACE ABOVE STAIRS, WHEN |
| | STAIR WALLS SHOULD EXTEND TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ROOF |
| | DECK; THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN OPEN SPACE. IF NECESSARY, |
| | PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECTION DETAILS TO SHOW COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | 35-36. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 37. THE STAIR LABELED "FRONT EGRESS STAIR" SHOWS AN |
| | ELEVATOR LOBBY IN THE STAIR ENCLOSURE ON THE FIRST |
| | FLOOR. SEE A1. PLEASE SEE FBC1019.1. |
| | |
| | 3RD REVIEW, RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT NO MECHANICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT IS IN THE STAIR ENCLOSURE. SEE SHEET A1, |
| | BOTTOM LEFT. THIS PLAN SHOWS THE STAIR AND THE ELEVATOR |
| | IN THE SAME ENCLOSURE. THIS STAIR IS LABELED A "MEANS |
| | OF EGRESS STAIR". TWO EXITS ARE REQUIRED FROM THIS |
| | SPACE, FBC1018.1, NOT MEANS OF EGRESS. EXITS SHALL BE |
| | CONTINUOUS, FBC1018.3. VERTICAL EXIT ENCLOSURE SHALL |
| | NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN MEANS OF EGRESS, |
| | FBC1019.1. SEE ALSO DEFINITION OF EXIT, FBC1002. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENT: |
| | |
| | 38. FP SHEETS, DOCUMENTS PREPARED BY AN ENGINEER AND |
| | SUBMITTED FOR PUBLIC RECORD ARE TO BE SIGNED, SEALED, |
| | DATED ORIGINALS FS471. SHEETS SUBMITTED DO NOT INCLUDE |
| | A SIGNATURE, DATE, AND SEAL AND THE PRINTED NAME AND |
| | LICENSE NUMBER OF THE PERSON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE |
| | DOCUMENT. |
| | |
| | 39. SEE M2, DUCTS SHOWN THROUGH THE WALL, BUT ISN?T |
| | THIS WALL ON THE PROPERTY LINE? SEE FBC TABLE 602, |
| | FBC704.8, NO OPENINGS ALLOWED FOR A. PREVIOUS COMMENTS |
| | REQUESTED THAT ALL FIRE RATED WALLS AND OTHER ELEMENTS |
| | BE NOTED ON THE PLAN. |
