| | 2ND REVIEW |
| | JUNE 09/2010 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1A) SHEET G-101, A-001 DEMOLITION & SITE PLAN A-002 |
| | INDICATE THERE TO BE WORK ON MULTIPLE LOTS, A UNITITY |
| | OF TITLE WILL BE REQUIRED. UNITY OF TITLE. THE PROPOSED |
| | BUILDING STRUCTURE TRANSGRESSES LEGAL BOUNDARY LINES |
| | BETWEEN THE LOTS WHICH COMBINE TO FORM 'THE SITE'. A |
| | 'UNITY OF TITLE' SHALL BE RECORDED AT THE COUNTY |
| | COURTHOUSE. SUBMIT A COPY OF THE RECORDED 'UNITY OF OF |
| | TITLE' DOCUMENT SO THAT FBC TABLE 601 BOUNDARY LINE |
| | REQUIREMENTS MAY BE DEEMED NOT APPLICABLE. THIS WOULD |
| | ALLOW TWO STRUCTURES ON THE SAME LOT. PLEASE REVIEW |
| | FBC-B 503.1.2 TWO OR MORE BUILDINGS ON THE SAME LOT |
| | SHALL BE REGULATED AS SEPARATE BUILDINGS OR SHALL BE |
| | CONSIDERED AS PORTIONS OF ONE BUILDING IF THE HEIGHT OF |
| | EACH BUILDING AND THE AGGREGATE AREA OF BUILDINGS ARE |
| | WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS OF TABLE 503 AS MODIFIED BY |
| | SECTIONS 504 AND 506. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE |
| | APPLICABLE TO THE AGGREGATE BUILDING SHALL BE |
| | APPLICABLE TO EACH BUILDING. |
| | |
| | THE OTHER WAY THIS COULD BE CONFIGURED AS TWO SEPERATE |
| | BUILDINGS ON TWO SEPERATE LOTS WITH AN ENCLOSED WALKWAY |
| | BETWEEN BUILINGS. SEE FBC-B DEFINITION: |
| | |
| | WALKWAY, ENCLOSED. A ROOFED, UNOBSTRUCTED WALKWAY |
| | CONNECTING BUILDINGS AND USED AS A MEANS OF TRAVEL BY |
| | PERSONS AND WHERE 50 PERCENT OR MORE OF THE PERIMETER |
| | IS ENCLOSED AND THE MAXIMUM WIDTH PERPENDICULAR TO THE |
| | DIRECTION OF TRAVEL IS LESS THAN 30 FEET (9144 MM). |
| | |
| | THIS CONFIGURATION THE ENCLOSED WALKWAY WOULD HAVE TO |
| | MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF FBC-B 3104. THE SECOND |
| | ISSUE IS THE PERCENTAGE OF ALLOWABLE OPENINGS TO THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE FBC-B TABLE 704.8. |
| | UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED A THOROUGH REVIEW CAN NOT |
| | BE ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!! |
| | |
| | 1B) THE SECOND ISSUE IS BOTH STRUCTURES ARE BEING |
| | DECLARED AS TYPE II BUILDINGS. PLEASE REVIEW ALLOWABLE |
| | COMBUSTIBLE IN FBC-B 603.1 AND TABLE 601 FOOTNOTE "C |
| | &D". PLEASE ALSO REVIEW COMMUNITY AFFAIRS/ BOAF |
| | INTERPRETATION #5106 THAT STATES THE ROOF FRAMING |
| | MEMBERS (TRUSSES) AND DECKING WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE |

| | 3104.3 CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS OR ENCLOSED |
| | WALKWAYS. |
