| | 2ND REVIEW |
| | APRIL 25/ 2013 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 3) SHEET A-0.0 & A-2.2 THE OCCUPANT LOAD COUNT IS TAKEN |
| | AS 50 SQ FT PER PERSON IS WITH EQUIPMENT, BOTH FIRE AND |
| | THE BUIULDING OFFICIAL CONCUR THAT THE MATS COULD BE |
| | REMOVED AND A HIGH OCCUPANT LOAD BE ACHIEVED SUCH AS |
| | LINE DANCING OR SOME SIMILAR ACTIVITY. FOR THE PURPOSE |
| | OF THIS REVIEW THE 15 SQ FT WILL BE USED FOR THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD COUNT. PLEASE CORRECT THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | AND REQUIRED EGRESS WIDTHS FOR THE SECOND FLOOR. |
| | |
| | 4)2010 EXST BLDG CODE 912.4.1 MEANS OF EGRESS FOR |
| | CHANGE TO HIGHER HAZARD CATEGORY. |
| | WHEN A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION IS MADE TO A |
| | HIGHER HAZARD CATEGORY (LOWER NUMBER) AS SHOWN IN TABLE |
| | 912.4, THE MEANS OF EGRESS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 10 OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING |
| | CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 4A) THE MONUMENTAL STAIR IS NOW BEING ASKED TO BE A |
| | PART OF A MEANS OF EGRESS. THE TENANT SPACE IS NOW A |
| | (A-3 OCCUPANCY) WHERE IT WAS NOT UNDER THE MERCANTILE |
| | OCCUPANCY. THE EXCEPTION FOR MONUMENTAL STAIRS IS FOUND |
| | UNDER 708.2 EXCEPTION # 7, THE MONUMENTAL STAIR NOT |
| | REQUIRED TO BE PART OF THE MEANS OF EGRESS BECAUSE |
| | THERE WERE 2 VERTICAL EXITS TO THE 2ND FLOOR. |
| | |
| | THE 2010 FBC-B SECTION 1028.2 (ASSEMBLY REQUIRES 50 % |
| | OF THE TOTAL OCCUPANTS TO EXIT THROUGH THE MAIN |
| | ENTRANCE/ EXIT. ONE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU GET THE |
| | OCCUPANTS TO THE SECOND FLOOR? THE ELEVATOR AND THE |
| | MONUMENTAL STAIR ARE THE ONLY WAY TO THE 2ND FLOOR. |
| | |
| | 1028.3 ASSEMBLY OTHER EXITS. EACH LEVEL OF AN ASSEMBLY |
| | OCCUPANCY SHALL HAVE ACCESS TO A MAIN EXIT AND SHALL BE |
| | PROVIDED WITH ADDITIONAL EXITS OF SUFFICIENT WIDTH TO |
| | ACCOMMODATE ONE-HALF OF THE TOTAL OCCUPANT LOAD SERVED |
| | BY THAT LEVEL. SUCH ADDITIONAL EXITS SHALL BE LOCATED |
| | AS FAR FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE/EXIT AS PRACTICABLE. SUCH |
| | EXITS SHALL BE ACCESSIBLE FROM A CROSS AISLE OR A SIDE |
| | AISLE. PLEASE PROVIDE CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS BORDER LINE IS THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND A THIRD REQUIRED STAIRWAY 2010 |
| | FBC-B TABLE 1021.1 IF 501 OCCUPANTS ARE LOCATED ON THE |
| | 2ND FLOOR THEN A THIRD REQUIRED EXIT STAIR WILL ALSO BE |
| | REQUIRED. FBC-B 708.2 EXCEPTION 7.2 STATES THAT IT "IS |
| | NOT PART OF A MEANS OF EGRESS SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | THE SECOND AREA TO CONSIDER IS IN SECTION FBC-B 1028.2 |
| | THE 50% OF THE TOTAL OCCUPANTS TO EXIT THROUGH THE MAIN |
| | ENTRANCE/ EXIT. HOW WOULD YOU GET THE 50 % OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD BACK THROUGH THE MAIN ENTRANCE IF YOU ARE |
| | CONSIDERING THE BACK ENTRANCE AS ONE OF TWO MAIN |
| | ENTRANCES. THE SECOND STORY NORTH EXIT TAKES YOU INTO |
| | AN EXIT PASSAGE WAY THEN YOU TAKE A VERTICAL EXIT AND |
| | OUT THE EXIT DOORWAY OR THE EXIT DISCHARGE, IT DOES NOT |
| | TAKE YOU BACK TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE EXIT. |
| | |
| | PLEASE REVIEW SECTION FBC-B 1027.1 EXCEPTION# 1, IF THE |
| | MONUMENTAL STAIR WERE TO BE ENCLOSED, IT DOES NOT NEED |
| | TO LEAD TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING ONLY BE A 1 |
| | HOUR RATED SHAFT WITH OPENING PROTECTIVES 1ST AND 2ND |
| | FLOOR, THIS WOULD SOLVE YOUR ISSUES WITH HOW YOU ARE |
| | GETTING OCCUPANTS TO THE 2ND FLOOR AND HOW 50 % OF THE |
| | OCCUPANTS ARE TRAVELING BACK TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE/ |
| | EXIT, FOR EITHER ENTRANCE. |
| | |
| | 4B) ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS BORDER LINE IS THE OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND A THIRD REQUIRED STAIRWAY |
| | 2010 FBC-B TABLE 1021.1 IF 501 OCCUPANTS ARE LOCATED ON |
| | THE 2ND FLOOR THEN A THIRD REQUIRED EXIT STAIR WILL |
| | ALSO BE REQUIRED. PLEASE REVIEW THE OCCUPANT LOAD FOR |
| | THE AEROBICS ROOM THE OCCUPANT LOADS ARE TO BE |
| | CONSIDERED AT 15 NET, FBC-B 1004.1.1. |
| | |
| | 5) THE PLANS DO PROVIDE A SECTION THROUGH THE |
| | MONUMENTAL STAIRWAY,INDICATING THE USE OF A DRAFT |
| | CURTAIN BUT FAIL TO INDICATE THE USE OF THE FIRE |
| | SPRINKLER LOCATION. NOT FOUND ON THE ARCHITECTURAL NOR |
| | THE LEVEL 1 FIRE SPRINKLER PLAN. 2010 FBC-B 708.2 |
| | EXCEPTION 2.1. WHERE THE AREA OF THE FLOOR OPENING |
| | BETWEEN STORIES DOES NOT EXCEED TWICE THE HORIZONTAL |
| | PROJECTED AREA OF THE ESCALATOR OR STAIRWAY AND THE |
| | OPENING IS PROTECTED BY A DRAFT CURTAIN AND CLOSELY |
| | SPACED SPRINKLERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 13. IN OTHER |
| | THAN GROUPS B AND M, THIS APPLICATION IS LIMITED TO |
| | OPENINGS THAT DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN FOUR STORIES. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THIS EXCEPTION IS ONLY FOR BUSINESS & |
| | MERCANTILE, NOT FOR AN ASSEMBLY USE, PLEASE PROVIDE HOW |
| | THIS CODE VIOLATION WILL BE COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 6) THE LIFE SAFETY PLANS HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS SINCE |
| | THE MONUMETAL STAIRS CAN NOT BE USED FOR EXITING AND |
| | SINCE THE 2ND FLOOR OCCUPANT LOAD IS AT 500 OCCUPANTS, |
| | NEITHER THE STAIRS NOR THE DOORS AT THE BACK OF THE |
| | BUILDING WILL HANDLE THESE OCCUPANT LOADS. THE DESIGNER |
| | IS TAKING A 42 INCH DOOR AND STATING 200 OCCUPANTS CAN |
| | EXIT THIS OPENING, WHEREAS THE TWO VERTICAL EXITS BACK |
| | OF 2ND FLOOR WILL ONLY HANDLE 400 OCCUPANTS. PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE A LIFE SAFETY PLAN SHOWING THE EGRESS BACK OF |
| | HOUSE FOR THIS TENANT AND THE ADJACENT TENANTS AND |
| | PROVIDING A EGRESS PLAN TO THE PUBLIC WAY. PLEASE NOTE |
| | THE EGRESS PLAN ALSO HANDLES AN ACCESSIBLE RAMP, STAIRS |
| | OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, IT ALSO HAS TO TAKE INTO |
| | ACCOUNT THE ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCIES ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS |
| | NEWLY FORMED A3 OCCUPANCY. |
| | |
| | THE SAME REQUEST FOR A LIFE SAFETY PLAN FOR THE |
| | LANDLORD PERMIT FOR THIS SPACE HAS BEEN REQUESTED, THIS |
| | PERMIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED NOR THE LANDLORD TENANT |
| | IMPROVEMENT PERMIT UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS CLEARED UP. THE |
| | BACK OF HOUSE CORRIDORS ARE 1 HOUR EXIT PASSAGEWAYS, |
| | THAT HAVE TO BE TREATED AS SUCH AND THE EXITING HAS TO |
| | WORK FOR THE SHARED EXIT PASSAGE WAY. |
| | |
| | 7-9) COMPLIED. |
| | 10) STRUCTURAL WORK COMMENT # 10 TO BE COMPLETED UNDER |
| | THE LANDLORD PERMIT# 13030406. |
| | |
| | 10A) IS THE EXTERIOR STAIR WORK FOUND ON S-1 AND |
| | EXTERIOR CANOPY WORK FOUND ON S-2 STILL PART OF THIS |
| | PERMIT OR PART OF THE LANDLORD PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 11) PLANS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CITY PLACE APPROVAL WITH |
| | THEIR STAMP. |
