| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |

| | BUILDING |
| | |
| | 1) THE DESCRIPTION OF WORK ON THE APPLICATION IS TO |
| | DEMOLISH ELECTRICAL WIRING ( REMOVE 2ND AND 3RD PANELS) |
| | AND REMOVE ILLEGAL WALLS (NO NEW CONSTRUCTION) WITH A |
| | VALUATION OF $2000.00 FOR THE WORK. THE 3 SHEETS OF |
| | PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE |
| | DESCRIPTION ON THE APPLICATION. ONE SHEET IS TITLED |
| | ALTERATIONS TO RESIDENCE AND THE OTHER TWO SHEETS ARE |
| | TITLED "GUEST HOUSE AS-BUILTS". PROVIDE PLANS THAT |
| | CLEARLY SPECIFY THE WORK THAT WILL BE DONE. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 2) UN-PERMITTED CONVERSION |
| | |
| | THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THIS PERMIT IS TO ADDRESS THE |
| | ILLEGAL CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING GARAGE TO AN |
| | APARTMENT OR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. |
| | ACCORDING TO CITY RECORDS, THIS STRUCTURE WAS |
| | ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED AS A DETACHED GARAGE. IT WAS |
| | CONVERTED TO AN APARTMENT WITH A KITCHEN, BEDROOM AND |
| | BATHROOM WITHOUT THE REQUIRED PERMITS OR INSPECTIONS. |
| | UNDER THE 2010 FBC EXISTING BUILDING THIS IS CONSIDERED |
| | A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY. IN ORDER FOR THIS STRUCTURE-TO |
| | BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, IT WILL BE REQUIRED TO |
| | COMPLY WITH THE 2010 FBC EXISTING BUILDING FOR A CHANGE |
| | OF OCCUPANCY FROM A UTILITY TO AN R-3 OCCUPANCY. THIS |
| | CHANGE IS FROM A LOWER HAZARD CATEGORY TO A HIGHER ONE. |
| | THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT |
| | INTO COMPLIANCE. THE STRUCTURE WILL BE REQUIRED TO |
| | COMPLY WITH THE 2010 FBCR WINDLOAD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE |
| | BUILDING ENVELOPE ( IN ADDITION TO GRAVITY LOADS), |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR EXTERIOR DOORS AND WINDOWS, |
| | EGRESS REQUIREMENTS, LIGHT AND VENTILATION, SMOKE AND |
| | CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS, FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS |
| | (SEPARATION DISTANCE AND ALLOWABLE OPENINGS), THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION, THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBCR MECHANICAL, THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE 2010 FBCR PLUMBING AND THE |
| | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE |
| | 2008 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. THE PLANS WILL NEED TO |
| | SHOW HOW THE GARAGE WILL BE CONVERTED TO HABITABLE |
| | SPACE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2010 FBC AND 2008 NEC. THE |
| | PLANS WILL NEED TO BE REVIEWED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY TO |
| | DETERMINE IF ANY IMPACT FEES ARE DUE. |
| | |
| | 3) THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO THE CONVERSION OF |
| | THE ATTACHED CARPORT INTO LIVING SPACE. |
| | |
| | 4) BECAUSE THE WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT PERMITS THE |
| | VALUATION FOR THE PERMIT IS THE VALUE OF WHAT THE WORK |
| | WOULD BE TO CONVERT BOTH OF THE AREAS TO LIVING SPACE. |
| | FBC 109.3 BUILDING PERMIT VALUATION. FOR PERMITTING |
| | PURPOSES, VALUATION OF BUILDINGS AND SYSTEMS SHALL BE |
| | TOTAL REPLACEMENT VALUE TO INCLUDE STRUCTURAL, |
| | ELECTRIC, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, INTERIOR FINISH, |
| | RELATIVE SITE WORK, ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN FEES, |
| | MARKETING COSTS, OVERHEAD AND PROFIT; EXCLUDING ONLY |
| | LAND VALUE. VALUATION REFERENCES MAY INCLUDE THE LATEST |
| | PUBLISHED DATA OF NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION COST ANALYSIS |
| | SERVICES (MARSHALL-SWIFT, MEANS, ETC.), AS PUBLISHED BY |
| | INTERNATIONAL CODE CONGRESS. FINAL BUILDING PERMIT |
| | VALUATION SHALL BE SET BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. |
| | |
| | 5) IN ORDER TO REDUCE PLAN REVIEW TIMES AND PROVIDE |
| | CLARIFICATION, PLEASE SUBMIT A RESPONSE LETTER |
