| | 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 |
| | -THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR THE |
| | EXISTING STRUCTURE CONTAINS ERRORS. |
| | -THE PLAT NUMBER SHOULD BE 3. |
| | -THE LONGITUDE SHOULD HAVE A MINUS SIGN IN FRONT OF IT. |
| | -THE DECIMAL NUMBER COORDINATES THAT ARE LISTED ON THE |
| | CERTIFICATE ARE INCORRECT. |
| | -THE ELEVATIONS SPECIFIED ON SHEET S1.0 ARE NOT IN |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S FLOOD ORDINANCE AND |
| | FBC-R322.1. |
| | -A PRE-CONSTRUCTION ELEVATION THAT IS BASED ON THE |
| | PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH |
| | THE CITY'S FLOOD ORDINANCE IS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED. |
| | |
| | 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 |
| | -THE EXPOSURE CATEGORY WAS CHANGED TO "D" ON THE PLANS, |
| | HOWEVER, THE COMPONENT AND CLADDING PRESSURES FOR THE |
| | WINDOWS AND EXTERIOR DOORS WERE NOT INCREASED |
| | ACCORDINGLY. FBC-R301.2.1 NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO REVIEW |
| | THE MAXIMUM DESIGN PRESSURES LISTED IN THE PRODUCT |
| | APPROVALS FOR THE WINDOWS, DOORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS |
| | AND CLADDING PRODUCTS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ADEQUATE. |
| | |
| | 3) 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 |
| | -SEE PLAN SHEETS A1.0 AND M1.0 |
| | |
| | 4) 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. |
| | -THE ADDRESS ON THE SOIL REPORT HAS 8011 ARLINGTON ROAD |
| | AND THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT 8011 ARLINGTON PLACE. |
| | -THE SOIL REPORT THAT WAS SUBMITTED IS INCOMPLETE. |
| | FBC 1803.6 REPORTING. |
| | WHERE GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE REQUIRED, A |
| | WRITTEN REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATIONS SHALL BE SUBMITTED |
| | TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL BY THE OWNER OR AUTHORIZED |
| | AGENT AT THE TIME OF PERMIT APPLICATION. THIS |
| | GEOTECHNICAL REPORT SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NEED NOT BE |
| | LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: |
| | 1. A PLOT SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE SOIL |
| | INVESTIGATIONS. |
| | 2. A COMPLETE RECORD OF THE SOIL BORING AND PENETRATION |
| | TEST LOGS AND SOIL SAMPLES. |
| | 3. A RECORD OF THE SOIL PROFILE. |
| | 4. ELEVATION OF THE WATER TABLE, IF ENCOUNTERED. |
| | 5. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOUNDATION TYPE AND DESIGN |
| | CRITERIA, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: BEARING |
| | CAPACITY OF NATURAL OR COMPACTED SOIL; PROVISIONS TO |
| | MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF EXPANSIVE SOILS; MITIGATION OF |
| | THE EFFECTS OF LIQUEFACTION, DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT |
| | AND VARYING SOIL STRENGTH; AND THE EFFECTS OF ADJACENT |
| | LOADS. |
| | 6. EXPECTED TOTAL AND DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT. |
| | 7. DEEP FOUNDATION INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTION 1803.5.5. |
| | 8. SPECIAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROVISIONS FOR |
| | FOUNDATIONS OF STRUCTURES FOUNDED ON EXPANSIVE SOILS, |
| | AS NECESSARY. |
| | 9. COMPACTED FILL MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND TESTING IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1803.5.8. |
| | 10. CONTROLLED LOW-STRENGTH MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND |
| | TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1803.5.9. |
| | |
| | 5) THE DOOR SCHEDULE SPECIFIES A FIBERGLASS DOOR, AN |
| | ARCHED TOP WOOD DOOR AND DOUBLE METAL FRENCH DOORS WITH |
| | GLAZING. THERE WERE NOT ANY PRODUCT APPROVALS SUBMITTED |
| | FOR THESE ITEMS AS REQUIRED BY DCA RULE 9N-3 AND FBC |
| | 107.3.4.1 |
| | |
| | 6) THE PRODUCT APPROVAL THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR THE |
| | STRUCTURAL MULLIONS IS LIMITED TO A MULLION LENGTH OF |
| | 72". THIS IS TOO SHORT FOR THE TWO 36" X 96" FIXED |
| | WINDOWS (E). SUBMIT PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR THE MULLIONS |
| | THAT WILL BE USED ON THESE WINDOWS. DCA RULE 9N-3 AND |
