| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THIS PROJECT IS A SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT BASED ON FEMA AND CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | FLOOD ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE STRUCTURE IS LOCATED |
| | IN A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA, SPECIFICALLY AN A5 |
| | FLOOD ZONE WITH A 7' ELEVATION. THE CITY OF WEST PALM |
| | BEACH'S FLOOD ORDINANCE REQUIRES A 6 INCH "FREEBOARD". |
| | THEREFORE THE REQUIRED MINIMUM FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION |
| | IS 7.5' BFE (NGVD 29). ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT, THE |
| | EXISTING, THE NEW AND THE FINISHED FLOOR OF THE |
| | ATTACHED GARAGE IS REQUIRED TO BE AT OR ABOVE 7.5' BFE. |
| | SPECIFY COMPLIANT ELEVATIONS ON THE PLANS. A |
| | PRE-CONSTRUCTION ELEVATION CERTIFICATE BASED ON THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS IS REQUIRED. FBC R322 |
| | |
| | 2) THE STRUCTURE IS LOCATED WITHIN 600 FEET OF THE |
| | INTER-COASTAL WATER WAY AND THEREFORE IT IS IN EXPOSURE |
| | CATEGORY D. PLEASE REVISE THE PLANS AND THE COMPONENT & |
| | CLADDING PRESSURES. FBC R301.2.1.4.3 |
| | |
| | 3) THE ENERGY CALCULATION FORM THAT WAS SUBMITTED |
| | INDICATES THAT THESE ARE WORST CASE CALCULATIONS. THE |
| | ATTACHED EQUIPMENT SIZING CALCULATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED |
| | TO BE BASED ON WORST CASE. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE |
| | SPECIFIC TO THE ORIENTATION OF THE STRUCTURE. 403.6.1 |
| | EQUIPMENT SIZING. HEATING AND COOLING EQUIPMENT SHALL |
| | BE SIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCA MANUAL S BASED ON THE |
| | EQUIPMENT LOADS CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUAL J |
| | OR OTHER APPROVED HEATING AND COOLING CALCULATION |
| | METHODOLOGIES, BASED ON BUILDING LOADS FOR THE |
| | DIRECTIONAL ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING. THE |
| | MANUFACTURER AND MODEL NUMBER OF THE OUTDOOR AND INDOOR |
| | UNITS (IF SPLIT SYSTEM) SHALL BE SUBMITTED ALONG WITH |
| | THE SENSIBLE AND TOTAL COOLING CAPACITIES AT THE DESIGN |
| | CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 302.1. THIS CODE DOES |
| | NOT ALLOW DESIGNER SAFETY FACTORS, PROVISIONS FOR |
| | FUTURE EXPANSION OR OTHER FACTORS WHICH AFFECT |
| | EQUIPMENT SIZING. SYSTEM SIZING CALCULATIONS SHALL NOT |
| | INCLUDE LOADS CREATED BY LOCAL INTERMITTENT MECHANICAL |
| | VENTILATION SUCH AS STANDARD KITCHEN AND BATHROOM |
| | EXHAUST SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | 4) THE ENERGY CALCULATION FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE SIGNED |
| | AND DATED BY THE OWNER/AGENT. FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION |
| | 103.2.3.2 |
| | |
| | 5) THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS LIST A 50 GALLON WATER |
| | HEATER AND A 120 GALLON WATER HEATER IS SPECIFIED ON |
| | THE PLANS. PLEASE CORRECT. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 6) R401.3 DRAINAGE. |
| | SURFACE DRAINAGE SHALL BE DIVERTED TO A STORM SEWER |
| | CONVEYANCE OR OTHER APPROVED POINT OF COLLECTION THAT |
| | DOES NOT CREATE A HAZARD. LOTS SHALL BE GRADED TO DRAIN |
| | SURFACE WATER AWAY FROM FOUNDATION WALLS. THE GRADE |
| | SHALL FALL A MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES (152 MM)WITHIN THE |
| | FIRST 10 FEET (3048 MM). |
| | EXCEPTION: WHERE LOT LINES, WALLS, SLOPES OR OTHER |
| | PHYSICAL BARRIERS PROHIBIT 6 INCHES (152 MM) OF FALL |
| | WITHIN 10 FEET (3048 MM), DRAINS OR SWALES SHALL BE |
| | CONSTRUCTED TO ENSURE DRAINAGE AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE. |
| | IMPERVIOUS SURFACES WITHIN 10 FEET (3048 MM) OF THE |
| | BUILDING FOUNDATION SHALL BE SLOPED A MINIMUM OF 2 |
| | PERCENT AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 7) R401.4 SOIL TESTS. WHERE QUANTIFIABLE DATA CREATED |
| | BY ACCEPTED SOIL SCIENCE METHODOLOGIES INDICATE |
| | EXPANSIVE, COMPRESSIBLE, SHIFTING OR OTHER QUESTIONABLE |
| | SOIL CHARACTERISTICS ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT, THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER TO REQUIRE A |
| | SOIL TEST TO DETERMINE THE SOIL'S CHARACTERISTICS AT A |
| | PARTICULAR LOCATION. THIS TEST SHALL BE DONE BY AN |
| | APPROVED AGENCY USING AN APPROVED METHOD. STRUCTURE IS |
| | LOCATED IN AN AREA OF QUESTIONABLE SOIL. SUBMIT A |
| | SIGNED AND SEALED SUBSURFACE SOIL REPORT. |
| | |
| | 8) PROVIDE STRUCTURAL DETAILS FOR THE PROPOSED FIRE |
| | PLACE, INCLUDING THE FOUNDATION, FIREBOX DIMENSIONS, |
| | SMOKE CHAMBER DIMENSIONS, HEARTH EXTENSION DIMENSIONS, |
| | ETC. R1001.1 GENERAL. MASONRY FIREPLACES SHALL BE |
| | CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION AND THE |
| | APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTERS 3 AND 4. R1001.2 |
| | FOOTINGS AND FOUNDATIONS. FOOTINGS FOR MASONRY |
| | FIREPLACES AND THEIR CHIMNEYS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED OF |
| | CONCRETE OR SOLID MASONRY AT LEAST 12 INCHES (305 MM) |
| | THICK AND SHALL EXTEND AT LEAST 6 INCHES (152 MM) |
| | BEYOND THE FACE OF THE FIREPLACE OR FOUNDATION WALL ON |
| | ALL SIDES. FOOTINGS SHALL BE FOUNDED ON NATURAL, |
| | UNDISTURBED EARTH OR ENGINEERED FILL BELOW FROST DEPTH. |
| | IN AREAS NOT SUBJECTED TO FREEZING, FOOTINGS SHALL BE |
| | AT LEAST 12 INCHES (305 MM) BELOW FINISHED GRADE. |
| | |
