| | COLUMNS BEING WELDED TO AN EXISTING W20X BEAM AS WELL |

| | IS AN OCCUPANCY SEPARATION WALL THAT SEPARATES THE |
| | BUSINESS OCCUPANCY FROM THE S1 OCCUPANCY. SHEET A201 & |
| | A202 SHOW MOST OF THE WALL WITH A 1 HOUR OCCUPANCY |
| | SEPARATION, ONLY THE NEW BATH WALL ON THE 2ND FLOOR |
| | SHOWS A 2 HOUR FIRE RATING. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE |

| | THE OTHER ISSUE WITH THE RATED WALLS, THEY ARE ALL |
| | SHOWN AS NON-BEARING WALLS, THE STRUCTURAL SHEETS SHOW |
| | COLUMNS THAT DO NOT SHOW ON THE ARCHITECTURAL SHEETS. |
| | PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE STAIR MID-LANDING WILL NEED TO BE |
| | STRUCTURAL WITH BRACING TO TAKE THE LOADS ON THE |
| | STRINGERS SINCE THE WALLS THAT CREATE THE FIRE RATED |
| | WALLS ARE ALSO NON-LOADBEARING. THE PLANS ARE NOT CLEAR |
| | IN THIS AREA. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED TO |
| | DETERMINE CODE COMPLIANCE. 107.2.1.3. |
| | |
| | 5A) SEMI ?COMPLIED, THERE IS A 2 HOUR OCCUPANCY WALL |
| | AND OPENING PROTECTIVES. SEE COMMENT # 6. SHEET A2.1 |
| | SHOWS (2) ROOMS LOCATED BENEATH THE STAIRS, THE |
| | RESTROOM 102 AND THE MECHANICAL ROOM 103. NOT HAVING A |
| | WALL LEGEND THAT IDENTIFIES THE TYPE OF WALLS PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2014 FBC-B; |
| | 1009.9.3 ENCLOSURES UNDER INTERIOR STAIRWAYS. |

| | |
| | 5B) SEMI ?COMPLIED, THERE IS A 2 HOUR OCCUPANCY WALL |
| | AND OPENING PROTECTIVES. SEE COMMENT # 6. THE BATHROOM |
| | AND MECHANICAL ROOM BENEATH THE ENCLOSED STAIR |
| | ENCLOSURE HAVING TO HAVE 1 HOUR FIRE RATING THE DOORS |
| | WILL ALSO NEED TO HAVE A FIRE RATING OPENING |
| | PROTECTIVES PER 2014 FBC-B TABLE 716.5. |
| | |
| | 6) PLEASE BE AWARE OF AN ERROR IN FBC-B TABLE 508.4 FOR |
| | FIRE RATINGS BETWEEN S1 AND S2 OCCUPANCIES. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW THE BUILDING OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION INFORMAL |
| | INTERPRETATION: |
| | DATE: TUE JUL 1 2014 |
| | REPORT: 7357 |
| | CODE: BUILDING CODE YEAR: 2010 |
| | SECTION: TABLE 508.4 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF TABLE 508.4 TO REQUIRE A (1HR (S), |
| | 2HR (NS)) SEPARATION BETWEEN B AND S-2 OCCUPANCY AND NO |
| | SEPARATION REQUIREMENT BETWEEN B AND S-1 OCCUPANCY? |
| | COMMENT: |
| | PER CHAPTER 3, S-2 OCCUPANCY ARE DEFINED AS LOW- HAZARD |
| | STORAGE, WHEREAS S-1 OCCUPANCY IS DEFINED AS |
| | MODERATE-HAZARD OCCUPANCY. THE STORED MATERIALS LIST |
| | FOR S-1 OCCUPANCY IS MUCH MORE HAZARDOUS THAN THE LIST |
| | FOR S-2 OCCUPANCY AND ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE S-1 |
| | OCCUPANCY WOULD REQUIRE THE SEPARATION AND THE S-2 |
| | OCCUPANCY WOULD NOT. |
| | ANSWER: |
| | BASED ON THE INFORMATION REVIEWED, IT APPEARS YOU ARE |
| | CORRECT THAT A TYPO EXISTS. THE BEST APPROACH FOR THIS |
| | PARTICULAR ISSUE WOULD BE EITHER A FORMAL |
| | INTERPRETATION WHICH HAS STANDING OR A DEC STATEMENT |
| | FROM THE FLORIDA BUILDING COMMISSION. PLEASE SEE THE |
| | COMMENTARY BELOW. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | TABLE 508.4 DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A TYPO. THE 2001 |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, TABLE 704.1 REQUIRED A 3 HOUR |
| | SEPARATION FOR S1 AND A 2 HOUR SEPARATION FOR S2. IN |
| | THE 2004 CODE TABLE 706.3.7 ALSO REQUIRES 3 HOURS FOR |
| | S1 AND 2 HOURS FOR S2. THE TYPO APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN |
| | INTRODUCED WITH TABLE 508.4 IN THE 2007 CODE. TABLE |
| | 508.4 APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WRONG SINCE ITS INCEPTION. |
| | SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A FORMAL INTERPRETATION WOULD |
| | PERMIT APPLICATION OF CORRECTION TO THIS ISSUE UNTIL A |
| | CODE CHANGE CAN BE MADE, IF IT IS NOT ALREADY IN THE |
| | WORKS. |
