	FBC 5TH EDITION, BUILDING

	PLEASE SEE PREVIOUS PLAN REVIEW. THE RESPONSE LETTER
	ADDRESSES ONLY THE FIRST TWO, THEN THE NFIP REVIEW.
	THEREFORE, AS IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THESE ITEMS WERE
	ADDRESSED, OR IF THEY WERE ADDRESSED, SOME OF THE SAME
	COMMENTS REMAIN:

	1-4. OK

	5. SEE IMPACT FEE REVIEW. IMPACT FEE ASSESSMENT BY PALM
	BEACH COUNTY IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE.
	PLEASE CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY TO COORDINATE.

	6. OK

	7. ALS1.1, PLAN STATES THAT THIS IS BUILDING TYPE VB
	AND IIB. BUILDING AREA HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED AS IT IS
	NOT CLEAR WHICH ONE APPLIES TO THIS PROJECT, FBC 503.1,
	FBC EXISTING BUILDING 1012.5.

	8. ALS1.1, LIFE SAFETY PLAN, COMPLIANCE WITH THE
	REQUIREMENTS OF FBC CHAPTER 10 NOT CLEAR.

	FOR INSTANCE, LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS PROVIDES AN
	OVERALL SQUARE FOOT AREA WITH ONE OCCUPANT LOAD FOR THE
	MERCANTILE AREA, BUT ALL OF THE MERCANTILE OCCUPANTS
	ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT AREAS AND DO NOT
	USE THE SAME EXITS AS THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF
	THE BUILDING.

	FOR INSTANCE, THREE DIFFERENT AREAS UTILIZE ONE MEANS
	OF EGRESS COMPONENT (RAMP) BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MANY
	OCCUPANTS WILL USE THIS COMPONENT.

	REVISE PLAN TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

	SQUARE FOOT AREA OF EACH SPACE
	MEANS OF EGRESS WIDTH FOR EACH COMPONENT

	9. PROVIDE AN OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION, OCCUPANT LOAD,
	SQUARE FOOT AREA FOR THE FRONT PATIO, ENTRY DECK, REAR
	PATIO, FBC 1004.

	10. FBC 303.4, A3 OCCUPANCY INCLUDES GYMNASIUMS, PLAN
	PROPOSES BUSINESS FOR THE SPIN AREAS. EXPLAIN RATIONALE
	OR REVISE PLAN. IF PLAN IS NOT REVISED TO A3, PLEASE
	EMAIL RATIONALE PRIOR TO RESUBMITTING.

	11. PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF THE FRONT
	PATIO AREA FOR SEATING, VENDING, AND EXIT DISCHARGE. IT
	IS NOT CLEAR HOW MANY OCCUPANTS WILL BE SEATED IN THIS
	AREA, HOW MANY OCCUPANTS WILL BE FORCED TO TRAVEL
	THROUGH THIS AREA AS A REQUIRED EXIT DISCHARGE. HOW
	WILL THE REQUIRED EXIT PATH BE KEPT CLEAR? NO SEATING
	PLAN WAS SHOWN, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS AREA
	WILL BE USED FOR DINING AND EVENTS. FBC 107.

	12. AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF 30 SF PER PERSON FOR MERCANTILE
	DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A REASONABLE OCCUPANT LOAD

	13. FBC 303.1.2, IT APPEARS THAT THE FOOD AND DRINK
	VENDORS SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS BUSINESS OCCUPANCY OR
	A2 RATHER THAN MERCANTILE. REVISE OR PROVIDE
	CLARIFICATION.

	14. CLARIFY DESIGN INTENT REGARDING HARDWARE FOR EXIT
	DOORS A1.1.1. HARDWARE SET 1 IS SPECIFIED FOR THE EXIT
	DOORS AND INCLUDE A PUSH BAR. IS THE "PUSH BAR" A PANIC
	DEVICE OR FIRE EXIT HARDWARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
	FBC1008.1.10?

	IT APPEARS THAT THE FOOD AND DRINK VENDING AREAS WITH
	THEIR SHARED SEATING AREA (REAR PATIO) WILL HAVE AN
	OCCUPANT LOAD WHICH EXCEEDS 50, SO PANIC BARS WOULD BE
	REQUIRED, FBC 1008.1.10 (IF ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY). IT
	APPEARS THAT THIS IS DESIGNER?S INTENT. REVISE PLAN TO
	SPECIFY PANIC BARS FOR HARDWARE SET 1 OR CONTACT ME TO
	DISCUSS.

	NOTE THAT 30 SF PER PERSON FOR MERCANTILE IS FOR USES
	OF MERCANTILE TYPE SPACES; STORES WITH DISPLAYS AND ONE
	OR TWO CHECK OUT AREAS. THE SPACE PROPOSED INCLUDES
	ONLY THE CONCENTRATED CHECK OUT AREA TYPE OF SPACE, SO
	30 SF PER PERSON DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A NUMBER
	CONSISTENT WITH THE USE.

	NOTE ALSO THAT, WITH PANIC DEVICES, SPACE COMPLIES WITH
	A2 OCCUPANCY FOR FBC BUILDING.

	15. FBC 107, MINIMUM 1/8 INCH SCALE REQUIRED, ALS1.1,
	A1.1.1.

	16. SHOW THE EXIT DISCHARGE FROM THE REAR STAIRS TO THE
	PUBLIC WAY, FBC 1027.

	17. E6 DOES NOT SHOW AN EXIT SIGN AT THE REAR EXIT, FBC
	1011.1.

	18. ALS1.1, BUILDING DIAGONAL TO SHOW THAT TWO REQUIRED
	EXITS ARE REMOTELY LOCATED SHOULD MEASURE SPACE WHICH
	IS SERVED BY THE TWO EXITS. THE DIAGONAL INCLUDES A
	LARGE SPACE WHICH HAS A SEPARATE EXIT. THE DIMENSION
	BETWEEN THE TWO EXITS SHOULD MEASURE THE TWO EXITS
	WHICH SERVE THE SPACE REQUIRING TWO EXITS, FBC
	1015.2.1. THE DIMENSION SHOWN MEASURES TWO EXITS
	SERVING TWO DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING.

	19. REVISE PLAN TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH FBC 1006, MEANS
	OF EGRESS ILLUMINATION, REAR EXIT AND, IF APPLICABLE,
	THE SECOND EXIT FOR ROOM 134. E6.0, PHM1, DO NOT SHOW
	ANY LIGHTING FOR THE REAR EXIT AND EXIT DISCHARGE TO
	THE PUBLIC WAY.

	20. REQUIRED FIRE RATED WALLS ARE NOT SHOWN. AT LEAST
	TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING LIKELY HAVE FIRE RATING
	REQUIREMENTS AS THEY SIT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE
	PROPERTY LINE. REVISE PLAN TO SHOW ALL FIRE RATED
	WALLS, FBC TABLE 705.8, FBC EXISTING BUILDING 1012.6.

	21. FBC ACCESSIBILITY 207.1, REVISE PLAN TO INDICATE
	WHICH METHOD OF COMPLIANCE IS ELECTED.

	22. THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED IS FOR 1401 CLARE AVENUE,
	BUT THE PARCEL ID AND SITE ARE CONSISTENT WITH 1301
	CLARE AVENUE PER PROPERTY APPRAISER. REVISE PLAN AND
	APPLICATION OR CLARIFY. IF APPLICANT WOULD LIKE THE
	ADDRESS CHANGED TO 1401 CLARE AVENUE, PLEASE ADVISE. AT
	THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE LEGAL ADDRESS FOR THIS
	PARCEL IS 1301 CLARE AVENUE.

	23. PRODUCT APPROVALS ARE TO BE REVIEWED BY DESIGNER OF
	RECORD PRIOR TO SUBMITTAL, FBC 107. THE PRODUCT
	APPROVALS SUBMITTED WERE REVIEWED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN
	ARCHITECT OF RECORD. PER BUILDING OFFICIAL, A DESIGN
	PROFESSIONAL OTHER THAN THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD BUT
	FROM THE SAME OFFICE MAY REVIEW ON BEHALF OF THE
	ARCHITECT OF RECORD. THAT LICENSED INDIVIDUAL IS TO
	INCLUDE THEIR FULL NAME AND LICENSE NUMBER ON THE
	REVIEW STAMP.

	THE 3100 RESISTOR STOREFRONT IS REFERENCED ON SHEET
	A1.1.1, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A REFERENCE TO THE
	DOOR. EITHER HAVE ARCHITECT SIGN THE SHOP DRAWING
	REVIEW STAMP FOR THE DOOR, OR INCORPORATE A REFERENCE
	IN THE PLAN. FYI, IF ARCHITECT?S REVIEW IS DONE VIA A
	REFERENCE IN THE PLAN, A CHANGE OF PRODUCT WOULD
	REQUIRE A REVISION TO THE PLAN AS WELL AS A NEW PRODUCT
	APPROVAL TO BE SUBMITTED.

	24. PROVIDE A DETAIL FOR THE RAMP WHICH SHOWS
	COMPLIANCE WITH FBC ACCESSIBILITY 405.7, LANDINGS AT
	THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE RAMP.

	25. PROVIDE A DETAIL FOR THE RAMP WHICH SHOWS
	COMPLIANCE WITH FBC ACCESSIBILITY 405.6, RAMP RISE NOT
	TO EXCEED 30 INCHES. A SECTION IS SUGGESTED.

	26. A2.01, DETAIL A, SHOWS A RAIN LEADER AND HOSE BIBB
	AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP. EITHER REVISE TO A DIFFERENT
	LOCATION OR PROVIDE A DETAIL TO SHOW HOW THIS WILL NOT
	AFFECT THE WALKING SURFACE STABILITY FBC ACCESSIBILITY
	302.1 AND HOW THIS WILL NOT PROTRUDE INTO THE MEANS OF
	EGRESS.

	27. A2.02, COUNTERTOP HEIGHT NOT CLEAR. DETAIL A SHOWS
	A DIMENSION OF 2 FT FOR COUNTER BAR TOP, BUT THE NOTE
	SPECS 42 INCHES.

	REVISE PLAN TO SHOW SEATING AREAS AND SHOW COMPLIANCE
	WITH FBC ACCESSIBILITY 902.

	28. FBC ACCESSIBILITY, REVISE PLAN TO SHOW LOCATION OF
	CHECK OUT AISLES, SALES AND SERVICE COUNTERS, FBC
	ACCESSIBILITY 904.
	. A2.02 DETAIL 5 DEPICTS A WALL WITH WINDOWS AND DOORS,
	CLARIFY LOCATION.

	29. PROVIDE A DETAIL FOR THE MEANS OF EGRESS STAIR FROM
	THE FRONT PATIO TO REAR OF BUILDING, FBC 107. S2.0
	APPEARS TO SHOW THIS AS EXISTING, A1.1.1 SPECS STEEL
	STAIRS.

	30. WHEN A CONTRACTOR IS ASSIGNED, PROVIDE A COPY OF
	THE CONTRACT FOR THIS JOB, FBC 109. THE VALUE ON THE
	PERMIT APPLICATION IS TO INCLUDE LABOR, MATERIALS,
