| | FBC R FLORIDA BUILDING CODE 2004 RESIDENTIAL |
| | FBC* CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH AMENDMENTS TO THE FBC2004 |
| | FAC FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE |
| | FS FLORIDA STATUTE |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. SEE FBC R301.1 WHICH STATES THAT BUILDINGS AND |
| | STRUCTURES AND "ALL PARTS THEREOF" SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED |
| | TO SAFELY SUPPORT ALL LOADS, INCLUDING WIND. PLEASE |
| | DEMONSTRATE WHERE IN EITHER FBC R301 OR FBC CHAPTER 20 |
| | A DESIGN CAN PERMIT SCREEN TO 'BLOW OUT' IN 75MPH |
| | WINDS. THERE ARE REFERENCES TO 75MPH AND 50MPH IN |
| | VARIOUS PLACES ON THE PLAN AND IN THE CALCULATIONS. THE |
| | CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH LIES ENTIRELY WITHIN THE 140MPH |
| | WIND ZONE, FBC R301. REVISE THE DESIGN AND PLANS |
| | ACCORDINGLY OR SHOW EXCEPTION IN THE CODE. IT APPEARS |
| | THAT THE ENGINEER IS USING AN EXCEPTION IN THE CODE |
| | WHICH IS FOR REMOVABLE ACRYLIC OR VINYL PANELS. FAILURE |
| | OF A STRUCTURE COMPONENT AS DESIGN INTENT, EVEN AN ITEM |
| | SUCH AS SCREEN, IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE FLORIDA |
| | BUIDLING CODE. |
| | |
| | ALSO, BASED ON NOTES AND SPECIFICATIONS ITEM 6 ON PAGE |
| | 3 OF 3, IT APPEARS THAT THE STRUCTURE WILL FAIL AT |
| | 50MPH, BEFORE THE SCREEN WILL "BLOW OUT" AT 75MPH. |
| | |
| | 2. THERE IS A CONFLICT IN THE PLAN REGARDING THE SCREEN |
| | DESIGN. PAGE 1 STATES THIS IS INSTALLED WITH SPLINE AND |
| | IS DESIGNED TO "BLOW OUT", BUT PAGE 3 STATES SCREEN IS |
| | TO BE REMOVED. CLARIFY CONSTRUCTION, FBC*106, FBC R301. |
| | |
| | 3. THE PLANS MAKE REFERENCE TO FBC CHAPTER 20. THE |
| | DESIGN IS TO COMPLY WITH FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, |
| | RESIDENTIAL. PLEASE REVISE PLANS TO INCLUDE CORRECT |
| | CODE REFERENCES. |
| | |
| | 4. ONLY ONE SET OF CALCULATIONS WAS SUBMITTED. TWO |
| | COMPLETE SETS OF PERMIT DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR PERMIT |
| | ISSUANCE. HOWEVER, ONE SET OF STRUCTURAL PLANS WILL BE |
| | RETAINED. WHEN RESUBMITTING, PLEASE PROVIDE TWO |
| | COMPLETE NEW SETS. THE SITE PLAN WILL BE RETURNED TO |
| | THE CONTRACTOR AS ONLY STRUCTURALS WILL BE RETAINED. |
| | |
| | 5. PLANS INDICATE "PREFAB PANELS BY AQUA SHIELD"; |
| | ANOTHER NOTE STATES "END PANEL PROFILE". NO DETAILS |
| | WERE PROVIDED IN THE PLAN LABELED AS SUCH. AS THE |
| | NATURE OF THE PREFAB PANELS IS NOT CLEAR, COMPLIANCE |
| | REQUIREMENTS WITH FAC9B72 CANNOT BE DETERMINED. FLORIDA |
| | STATE OR LOCAL PRODUCT APPROVAL MAY BE REQUIRED, |
| | FAC9B72. SECTION 1 DOES NOT PROVIDE DETAILS OF A PANEL. |
| | |
| | 6. PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXISTING SLAB AND, |
| | IF NO FOOTINGS EXIST, PROVIDE CALCULATIONS TO SHOW HOW |
| | THIS WILL RESIST WIND LOADS FBC301.1. NOTE THAT THIS |
| | SPAN EXCEEDS THE SPANS ALLOWED FOR SLAB ONLY WITHOUT |
| | FOOTING IN THE AAF GUIDE. PAGE 1 STATES THAT THIS |
| | DESIGN IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AAF GUIDE. |
| | |
| | 7. SHOW PURLIN LOCATIONS AND SPANS, FBC R301. SOME |
| | INFORMATION IS ADDED IN A NOTE ON SHEET 3, BUT AAF |
| | GUIDE TREATS PURLINS AS A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT. PURLINS |
| | ARE SHOWN ON SIDES; ARE THESE THE ONLY PURLINS ON THIS |
| | STRUCTURE? NOTE THAT IN THE AAF GUIDE, THE SECONDARY |
| | SUPPORTS ON WALLS ARE GIRTS, PURLINS ARE ON THE ROOF. |
| | |
| | 8. THE SURVEY SHOWS A 24X36 CONCRETE POOL DECK; THE |
| | PROPOSED SCREEN ENCLOSURE IS 35X20. IT APPEARS THAT THE |
| | INTENTION IS TO USE THE EXISTING AS THE STRUCTURAL |
| | SUPPORT FOR THE ENCLOSURE. REVISE THE SITE PLAN TO |
| | CLEARLY SHOW THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT. |
| | |
| | 9. GOVERNING CODE SHOULD INCLUDE 2007 |
| | REVISIONS/SUPPLEMENTS; PLEASE REVISE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 10. STRUCTURAL INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED FOR THE PURLIN |
| | AND MOUNTING ANGLE, MOUNTING CHANNEL. PROVIDE |
| | STRUCTURAL INFORMATION FOR THE BEAMS AND COLUMNS. SHEET |
| | 1 SHOWS THE ROOF BEAMS AT 1.5"X2"; IS THIS CORRECT? THE |
| | MINIMUM SIZE IN THE AAF GUIDE FOR 140MPH EXPOSURE B IS |
| | 2X4, YET CALCULATIONS STATE THIS WAS DESIGNED TO 146 |
| | EXPOSURE C. |
| | |
| | 11. PROVIDE A GIRT TO POST DETAIL, FBC R301, FBC*106. |
| | |
| | 12. CALCULATIONS REFER TO FBC1613. THIS SECTION IS HIGH |
| | VELOCITY; CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH IS NOT WITHIN THE |
| | HVHZ. DESIGN MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NON-HVHZ |
| | REQUIREMENTS. ALSO, FBC RESIDENTIAL IS TO BE USED FOR |
| | THIS R3 STRUCTURE. |
| | |
| | 13. COLUMN SIZES NOT SPECIFIED. FBC*106, FBC R301. |
| | |
| | 14. PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE HOST STRUCTURE. |
| | IS THE ATTACHMENT, SECTION 1 ON PAGE 2, CONNECTING TO |
| | THE WALL, UNDER THE FASCIA? |
| | |
| | 15. PROVIDE A CONNECTION DETAIL, COLUMN TO TRACK AT |
| | BOTTOM. FBC R301. |
| | |
| | 16. PROVIDE A CONNECTION DETAIL, COLUMN TO BEAM, FBC |
| | R301. |
