| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: TUES. FEB. 25/ 2014 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET S7 INDICATES THE OCCUPANCY AS A F1 LIGHT AUTO |
| | REPAIR/ USED TIRE SALE, PLEASE REVIEW 2010 FBC-B 406.6 |
| | REPAIR GARAGES ARE SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES LISTED AS A S2. |
| | |
| | 2) PLEASE REVIEW YOUR PLUMBING FIXTURE CALCULATIONS AS |
| | A F1 3500/ 100= 35 OCCUPANTS AS A F1 OCCUPANCY THE |
| | FIXTURE COUNT WILL REQUIRE 1 UNDER THE 2010 |
| | FBC-PLUMBING TABLE 403.1 AND FOOTNOTE E WOULD REQUIRE |
| | YOU TO GO TO THE ACCESSIBLITY CODE THAT WOULD REQUIRE A |
| | HIGH AND LOW. |
| | |
| | REVIEW YOUR PLUMBING CALCULATION AS A S2 3500/300= 12 |
| | OCCUPANTS. THE 2010 FBC-PLUMBING TABLE 403.1 FOOTNOTE F |
| | DOES NOT REQUIRE DRINKING FOUNTAINS FOR OCCUPANT LOADS |
| | OF 15 AND FEWER. |
| | |
| | 3) THE SANITARY PLANS ARE DRAWN USING A WET VENT SYSTEM |
| | INCLUDED IS URINAL & DRINKING FOUNTAIN, IN THE |
| | RESTOOMS, PLEASE SEE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE INFORMAL |
| | INTERPRETATION: |
| | DATE: WED DEC 17 2003 |
| | REPORT #: 2241 |
| | CODE: PLUMBING |
| | SECTION: 909.1 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF SECTION 909.1 WET VENTING TO |
| | EXCLUDE URINALS AS A FIXTURE TO BE ALLOW AS PART OF A |
| | WET |
| | VENTED SYSTEM? |
| | ANSWER: |
| | NO. WET VENTING RELIES ON LOW FLOW VELOCITY, LOW FLOW |
| | RATES, AND LOW PROBABILITY OF SIMULTANEOUS |
| | DISCHARGE. FOR THAT REASON, WET VENTING IS LIMITED TO |
| | TWO BATHROOM GROUPS, LOCATED ON THE SAME FLOOR LEVEL. |
| | ALTHOUGH A BATHROOM GROUP BY DEFINITION DOES NOT |
| | INCLUDE URINALS, URINALS MAY BE REGARDED AS SIMILAR IN |
| | FUNCTION TO WATER CLOSETS (SEE 419.2), AND THEY PLACE |
| | LESS RELATIVE LOAD ON THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. URINALS, AS |
| | WELL AS EMERGENCY FLOOR DRAINS AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS, |
| | MAY BE INCLUDED IN A WET VENT SYSTEM, WITHIN THE |
| | LIMITS OF TABLE 909.3. PLEASE NOTE! 12/17/2003-UPON |
| | CHALLENGE AND FURTHER REVIEW |
| | THIS INTERPRETATION IS MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS: 1) THE CODE |
| | PERMITS WET VENTING OF BATHROOM |
| | GROUPS, 2) THE DEFINITION OF A BATHROOM GROUP DOES NOT |
| | SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE A URINAL, THEREFORE 3) A URINAL |
| | MAY NOT BE A PART OF A WET VENT SYSTEM. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | KITCHEN SINKS, WASHING MACHINES AND SIMILAR HIGHER |
| | VOLUME FIXTURES WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED ON A WET VENT |
| | SYSTEM, AND WOULD HAVE TO DISCHARGE DOWNSTREAM OF THE |
| | WET VENT. 12/17/2003-COMMENTARY |
| | MODIFICATION: PROPERLY SIZED WET VENTING RESULTS IN |
| | ADEQUATE AIRFLOW IN THE WET-VENTED PIPE TO |
| | PREVENT THE FIXTURES FROM BEING SUBJECT TO SIPHONAGE OR |
| | BACKPRESSURE (PLUS OR MINUS 1-INCH OF WATER |
| | COLUMN). THE ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION MET THE INTENT, IF |
| | NOT THE LETTER, OF THE CODE SINCE URINALS HAVE, FOR A |
| | NUMBER OF YEARS NOW, BEEN LIMITED TO 1 GALLON PER |
| | FLUSHING CYCLE. AS LONG AS THE WET VENT IS LIMITED TO |
| | TWO |
| | BATHROOM GROUPS, THERE IS PROBABLY NO FIELD |
| | CONFIGURATION CONTAINING A URINAL THAT WOULD POSE A |
| | PROBLEM |
| | BUT STRICT APPLICATION OF THE CODE WILL NOT ALLOW IT. |
| | |
| | 4A) PLEASE PROVIDE COMPLIANCE WITH 2010 FBC-B 503.7 |
| | PROTECTION AGAINST DECAY AND TERMITES. CONDENSATE LINES |
| | AND ROOF DOWNSPOUTS SHALL DISCHARGE AT LEAST 1 FOOT |
| | (305 MM) AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE SIDEWALL, WHETHER BY |
| | UNDERGROUND PIPING, TAIL EXTENSIONS, OR SPLASH BLOCKS. |
| | GUTTERS WITH DOWNSPOUTS ARE REQUIRED ON ALL BUILDINGS |
| | WITH EAVES OF LESS THAN 6 INCHES (152 MM) HORIZONTAL |
| | PROJECTION EXCEPT FOR GABLE END RAKES OR ON A ROOF |
| | ABOVE ANOTHER ROOF. |
| | |
| | 4B) PROVIDE ROOF CALCULATIONS FOR ROOF DRAINAGE USING |
| | THE 100-YEAR HOURLY RAINFALL RATE INDICATED IN 2010 |
| | FBC-P FIGURE 1106.1 OR ON OTHER RAINFALL RATES |
| | DETERMINED FROM APPROVED LOCAL WEATHER DATA. |
| | |
| | 4C) 2010 FBC-P 1106.6 SIZE OF ROOF GUTTERS. |
| | THE SIZE OF SEMICIRCULAR GUTTERS SHALL BE BASED ON THE |
| | MAXIMUM PROJECTED ROOF AREA IN ACCORDANCE WITH TABLE |
| | 1106.6. |
| | |
| | 4D) 2010 FBC-P 1106.2 VERTICAL CONDUCTORS AND LEADERS. |
| | VERTICAL CONDUCTORS AND LEADERS SHALL BE SIZED FOR THE |
| | MAXIMUM PROJECTED ROOF AREA, IN ACCORDANCE WITH TABLES |
| | 1106.2(1) AND 1106.2(2). |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION & |
| | REMOVE & REPLACE ANY PAGES AS NECESSARY. A TRANSMITTAL |
| | LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENT NUMBER, WITH |
| | A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION MADE, IDENTIFYING THE |
| | SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE THE CHANGES CAN BE |
| | FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR |
| | YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
