| | |
| | COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS LIST: |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET A-1 CODE SUMMARY, OCCUPANCY GROUP LISTS THIS |
| | OCCUPANCY TYPE AS A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. PLEASE SEE THE |
| | 2014 FBC-B 303.4 ASSEMBLY GROUP A-3 GYMNASIUMS (WITHOUT |

| | |
| | DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION THERE MAY BE A CHANGE OF |
| | OCCUPANCY. AT LEAST THERE IS A CHANGE OF USE WITHIN THE |
| | SAME OCCUPANCY TYPE. |
| | 2014 FBC-B 1012.1. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL |
| | APPLY TO BUILDINGS OR PORTIONS THEREOF UNDERGOING A |
| | CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION. THIS INCLUDES A |
| | CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION WITHIN A GROUP AS |

| | OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY SHALL BE AS |
| | SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 1012.1.1 THROUGH 1012.1.4. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, NOT ADDRESSED. THE REQUESTED INFORMATION |
| | WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE OUTLINE OF THE BUILDING WITH AN |
| | AREA HIGHLIGHTED WAS PROVIDED. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE |
| | INFORMATION REQUESTED: ALAN WELLS, EVENT HALL |
| | LOCATIONS, WHAT WAS IN THIS SPACE BEFORE IF IT WAS |
| | NEITHER OF THESE? IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS IS A CHANGE OF |
| | OCCUPANCY, SO THE PREVIOUS LEGAL USE SHOULD BE |
| | DETERMINED, PLANS REVISED TO INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION, |
| | AS WELL AS SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY, IF |
| | APPLICABLE. |
| | |
| | 3, 4, 5) OK |

| | 6) IN THE CARDIO AREA THERE SEEMS TO BE NO AREA FOR AN |
| | ACCESS AISLE. PLEASE SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH 2014 FBC-B |

| | THE CATCHMENT AREA SERVED BY AN AISLE IS THAT PORTION |
| | OF THE TOTAL SPACE THAT IS SERVED BY THAT SECTION OF |
| | THE AISLE. IN ESTABLISHING CATCHMENT AREAS, THE |
| | ASSUMPTION SHALL BE MADE THAT THERE IS A BALANCED USE |
| | OF ALL MEANS OF EGRESS, WITH THE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN |
| | PROPORTION TO EGRESS CAPACITY. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THIS HAS BEEN |
| | ADDRESSED. THE EQUIPMENT PLAN SHOWS EQUIPMENT DENSELY |
| | LOCATED, WITH LITTLE ROOM PROVIDED FOR OCCUPANT EGRESS. |
| | REVISE PLAN TO SHOW THE CLEAR WIDTH OF AREAS FOR |
| | EGRESS. ALSO, THE LACK OF SPACE BETWEEN EQUIPMENT |
| | APPEARS TO SHOW LACK OF COMPLIANCE WITH FBC |
| | ACCESSIBILITY 236, 1004. |
| | |
| | 7) OK |
| | |
| | 8) OK |
| | |
| | 9) OK WITH PROVISO; IF MECHANICAL REVIEW DETERMINES |
| | THAT NEW EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED, PROVIDE ANCHORING, |
| | STAND OR CURB DETAILS. |
| | |
| | 10) THE PLANS NEED TO GO TO PALM BEACH COUNTY IMPACT |
| | FEE OFFICE FOR REVIEW. BEFORE A PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT, |
| | MAY BE ISSUED, IMPACT FEES MUST BE PAID TO PALM BEACH |
| | COUNTY. THE ACTUAL PERMIT SET OF PLANS MUST BE STAMPED |
| | BY THAT OFFICE, AND A COPY OF THE PAID RECEIPT ATTACHED |
| | TO THE PERMIT APPLICATION. PLEASE CALL (561)233-5025 |
| | FOR MORE INFORMATION. |

| | THIS MAY BE DONE AFTER ALL PLAN REVIEWS HAVE PASSED, |
| | BUT BEFORE A BUILDING PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED. |
| | |
| | 11) WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS PLEASE INDICATE THE |
| | REVISION & REMOVE ANY VOIDED SHEETS & REPLACE ANY PAGES |
| | AS NECESSARY. A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL |
| | REVIEW COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE |
| | REVISION MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION |
| | PAGE WHERE THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO |
| | EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED |
| | COOPERATION. |
| | |
| | A THOROUGH REVIEW CANNOT BE MADE AT THIS TIME, AS A |
| | RESULT OF THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MAY APPEAR THAT WERE NOT PART OF |
| | THIS REVIEW. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 12. SEE NFIP REVIEW. AS DESIGN TO RESIST FLOOD LOADS IS |
| | A REQUIREMENT OF THE BUILDING CODE (FBC B 1612), REVISE |
| | THE PLAN TO SHOW COMPLIANCE. OPTIONS WERE SENT VIA |
| | EMAIL TO OWNER'S REP ON 10/13/16. APPLICANT MAY SEND |
| | INFORMATION FOR PRELIMINARY REVIEW (SUCH AS ELEVATION |
| | CERTIFICATE, APPRAISAL) VIA EMAIL PRIOR TO |
| | RESUBMITTING. |
| | |
| | 13. EXERCISE MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT ARE TO COMPLY WITH |
| | FBC ACCESSIBILITY 236, 1004. REVISE PLAN TO SHOW |
| | COMPLIANCE. NOTE THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROVISO |
| | ITEM HAD ALL OTHER BUILDING COMMENTS BEEN ADDRESSED. |
| | HOWEVER, SINCE THE PLANS NEED TO BE REVISED TO ADDRESS |
| | OTHER COMMENTS FOR BOTH BUILDING AND OTHER TRADES, |
| | REVISE TO SHOW COMPLIANCE AT THIS TIME. |
| | |
| | 14. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT INCLUDES A |
| | CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY, PLAN SHOULD BE REVISED TO SHOW |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH FBC EXISTING BUILDING CHAPTER 10. A |
| | COMPLETE LIST CANNOT BE PROVIDED DUE TO LACK OF |
| | INFORMATION. FOR INSTANCE, SEE FBC EXISTING BUILDING |
| | TABLE 1012.4. IF THIS WAS BUSINESS, AND ASSEMBLY IS |
| | PROPOSED, THE MEANS OF EGRESS SHALL COMPLY WITH FBC |
| | CHAPTER 10 AS ASSEMBLY IS A HIGHER CATEGORY. IN THAT |
| | CASE, PANIC OR FIRE EXIT HARDWARE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL |
| | DOORS IN THE MEANS OF EGRESS. EXTERIOR DOORS, IF THEY |
| | DO NOT INCLUDE PANIC DEVICES, WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE |
| | REPLACED. |
| | |
| | THIS LIST CANNOT BE COMPLETE AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO |
| | DO A COMPLETE REVIEW WITHOUT FIRST DETERMINING THE |
| | PREVIOUS LEGAL OCCUPANCY. |
