| | REVISED 2/14 TO ADD CODE SECTION FBC A 206.4 |
| | REVISED 2/27 TO ADD INFORMATION FROM EMAIL SENT 2/16/17 |

| | |
| | FBC = FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, 5TH EDITION (2014) |
| | FBC B = FBC BUILDING |
| | FBC EB = FBC EXISTING BUILDING |
| | FBC A = FBC ACCESSIBILITY |
| | FBC EC = FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION |
| | |
| | 3. FBC A 201.1.1, ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO SECOND FLOOR IS |
| | NOT CLEAR. THE ROUTE SHOWN INCLUDES STAIRS IN THE |
| | EXISTING BUILDING. STAIRS ARE NOT A COMPONENT OF AN |
| | ACCESSIBLE ROUTE, SEE FBC 402.2. |
| | |
| | A RAMP IN THE EXISTING BUILDING IS SHOWN, BUT THE ROUTE |
| | IS NOT CLEAR. A1.01 AND OTHER SHEETS DO NOT CLEARLY |
| | SHOW HOW AN OCCUPANT ENTERS THE BUILDING FROM THE RAMP. |
| | THE RAMP DOES NOT APPEAR TO LEAD TO AN ENTRANCE TO THE |
| | BUILDING. |
| | |
| | THE WIDTH OF THE ROUTE (BASE OF STAIRS TO BUILDING) IS |
| | NOT CLEAR IF THE RAMP IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING IS |
| | THE ACCESSIBLE ROUTE. THIS ROUTE APPEARS CUMBERSOME AND |
| | MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE ROUTE THROUGH THE FRONT; |
| | LONGER, GOES THROUGH AN EXIT STAIR, TWO DOORS, AND AN |
| | UNIDENTIFIED AREA. IF THIS IS PROPOSED AS THE |
| | ACCESSIBLE ROUTE, PLEASE GET THIS APPROVED VIA EMAIL |
| | PRIOR TO RESUBMITTAL BY SENDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
| | VIA EMAIL. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW: PLEASE SEE FBC A LOCATION (PARTIAL TEXT): |
| | |
| | ACCESSIBLE ROUTES SHALL COINCIDE WITH OR BE LOCATED IN |
| | THE SAME AREA AS GENERAL CIRCULATION PATHS. |
| | |
| | SEE ALSO ADVISORY 206.3: |
| | |
| | THE ACCESSIBLE ROUTE MUST BE IN THE SAME AREA AS THE |
| | GENERAL CIRCULATION PATH .... ADDITIONALLY, ACCESSIBLE |
| | VERTICAL INTERIOR CIRCULATINO MUST BE IN THE SAME AREA |
| | AS STAIRS AND ESCALATORS, NOT ISOLATED IN THE BACK OF |
| | THE FACILITY. |
| | |
| | AS PER OUR TELEPHONE DISCUSSION, PROVIDE RATIONALE FOR |
| | THE ACCESSIBLE ROUTE. THE FIRST DESIGN INCLUDED A RAMP |
| | ADJACENT TO THE STAIRS, SO ALL OCCUPANTS ENTER FROM THE |
| | SAME AREA FACING THE DROP OFF LOCATION. THE NEW DESIGN |
| | HAS ALL OCCUPANTS ENTERING VIA THE SAME AREA, BUT THE |
| | ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE IS AT THE REAR AND HAS AN |
| | ADDITIONAL 65 FEET OF TRAVEL DISTANCE TO ARRIVE AT THE |
| | ELEVATOR. IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THIS IS AN EQUIVALENT |
| | FACILITATION. |
| | |
| | 7. FBC 107, AS THIS PERMIT WAS READY FOR ISSUANCE, |
| | SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION WHICH IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE |
| | IS IN THE PACKAGE (SUCH AS ENERGY CALCS). PLEASE TREAT |
| | THESE THE SAME AS PLANS; THE ONES WHICH SHOULD BE |
| | REMOVED SHOULD BE MARKED VOID AND RETAINED SEPARATELY, |
| | WITH THE VOIDED PLAN SHEETS. ASSEMBLE TWO SETS OF |
| | SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW. |
| | |
| | 18. THIS PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED WITH THE FOLLOWING |
| | PROVISOS: |
| | |
| | BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION ELEVATION CERTIFICATE OR |
| | FORM BOARD SURVEY SHOWING PROPOSED ELEVATIONS IS |
| | REQUIRED PRIOR TO CONCRETE POUR |
| | FINISHED CONSTRUCTION ELEVATION CERTIFICATE IS REQUIRED |
| | PRIOR TO FINAL INSPECTION. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENT 2/16: |
| | |
| | AFTER REVIEW OF THE ACTUAL CIRCULATION PATH (OF WHICH I |
| | WAS PREVIOUSLY NOT AWARE) AND DISCUSSION WITH THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL, IT APPEARS THAT VERTICAL |
| | ACCESSIBILITY SERVING THIS BUILDING IS REQUIRED. THE |
| | PLAN PROPOSED THAT OCCUPANTS WHO CANNOT NAVIGATE THE |
| | STAIRS ARE TO EXIT THE NEW BUILDING AND ENTER THE |
| | ADJACENT BUILDING IN ORDER TO UTILIZE AN EXISTING |
| | ELEVATOR. IT APPEARS THAT THE NEW BUILDING REQUIRES AN |
| | ELEVATOR. |
| | |
| | SEE FBC 206.3: "WHERE CIRCULATION PATHS ARE INTERIOR, |
| | REQUIRED ACCESSIBLE ROUTES SHALL ALSO BE INTERIOR." |
| | |
| | FOR INSTANCE, AN OCCUPANT IN THE NEW BUILDING WHO IS |
| | ABLE TO USE THE STAIRS CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE SECOND |
| | FLOOR AFTER ENTERING VIA ADMINISTRATION. SOMEONE UNABLE |
| | TO USE THE STAIRS WILL BE REQUIRED TO EXIT THE BUILDING |
| | AND ENTER A DIFFERENT BUILDING IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE |
| | SECOND FLOOR OF THE NEW BUILDING. |
