| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2007 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | 1. STRUCTURAL PLANS SHOW A DETAIL FOR NEW CONDENSER #8. |
| | THE HEIGHT OF THE CONDENSER ABOVE THE ROOF SURFACE IS |
| | NOT SHOWN ON THE PAGE S-2 DETAILS. SHOW THE MINIMUM |
| | REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM THE ROOF SURFACE ON THE PLANS |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB TABLE 1509.7. |
| | |
| | 2. PAGE S-2 GENERAL NOTE #6 CALLS FOR DETAIL SHOWING |
| | HOW THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE ATTACHED TO THE STAND TO |
| | MEET WIND RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS. NO SUCH DETAIL OR |
| | SHOP DRAWING WAS PROVIDED. PROVIDE MISSING INFORMATION |
| | TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE WIND RESISTANCE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBCM 301.13 FOR ATTACHMENT TO THE |
| | STRUCTURE. |
| | |
| | 3. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS, PROVIDE |
| | DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF CONDENSER #8 |
| | SHOWING THAT THE APPLIANCE ITSELF IS DESIGNED TO RESIST |
| | WIND PRESSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 301.13. |
| | |
| | 4. PAGE M-3 NOTE ON ROOF PLAN INDICATES THAT THE NEW |
| | AC-1 AND NEW AC-2 WILL FIT ON THE EXISTING ROOF CURB. |
| | HOWEVER, DETAIL 7 ON PAGE M-4 CALLS FOR A CURB ADAPTER |
| | FOR NEW AC UNITS. WHICH IS CORRECT? PLEASE CLARIFY IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 106.1.1. ADJUST ATTACHMENT DETAIL |
| | AND NOTES SO PLANS ARE COORDINATED AND SHOW AN |
| | ATTACHMENT DETAIL WHICH IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 301.13. |
| | |
| | 5. PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF AC-1 |
| | AND AC-2 SHOWING THESE APPLIANCES ARE DESIGNED TO |
| | RESIST WIND PRESSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 301.13. |
| | |
| | 6. PAGE M-4: DETAIL #8 SHOWS GALVANIZED STRAPS OVER F-6 |
| | TO SECURE THE FAN FOR WIND LOADS. THIS FAN IS AN |
| | UPBLAST FAN, NOT A DOWN DISCHARGE FAN AS SHOWN IN THIS |
| | DETAIL. STRAPS OVER AN UPBLAST GREASE EXHAUST FAN WILL |
| | ACCUMULATE GREASE AND DIVERT IT TO LOCATIONS OTHER THAN |
| | THE GREASE RESERVOIR SUPPLIED WITH THE FAN. THIS HAS |
| | THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL FIRE HAZARD ON |
| | THE ROOF. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR HOW THESE STRAPS WILL |
| | INTERACT WITH THE HINGE MECHANISM ON THE GREASE EXHAUST |
| | FAN AS REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 506.5.3. |
| | NOTE: THERE ARE GREASE EXHAUST FANS AND CURBS WHICH ARE |
| | DESIGNED TO RESIST WIND PRESSURES WITHOUT THE USE OF |
| | ADDITIONAL, FIELD INSTALLED STRAPPING WHICH WILL AVOID |
| | INTERFERENCE WITH GREASE EXHAUST DISCHARGE. THIS MAY BE |
| | A PREFERABLE (TO THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL OR OWNER) |
| | MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHING COMPLIANCE WITH THESE CODE |
| | PROVISIONS. |
