| | 1) THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE HAS A |
| | IMPROVEMENT VALUE OF MORE THAN $300,000.00. SECTION |
| | 708.8 OF THE FBC EXISTING BUILDING REQUIRES: |
| | (A) ROOF TO WALL CONNECTIONS SHALL BE IMPROVED AS |
| | REQUIRED BY SECTION 708.8.1. |
| | (B) MANDATED RETROFITS OF THE ROOF-TO-WALL CONNECTION |
| | SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED BEYOND A 15-PERCENT INCREASE IN |

| | MITIGATION; REQUIREMENTS FOR ROOFS AND OPENING |

| | 3. PRESCRIPTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF |
| | ROOF-TO-WALL CONNECTIONS. THE LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZES |
| | THAT THE COST OF RETROFITTING EXISTING BUILDINGS TO |
| | MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THIS |
| | REGARD MAY EXCEED THE PRACTICAL BENEFIT TO BE ATTAINED. |
| | THE LEGISLATURE INTENDS FOR THE COMMISSION TO PROVIDE |
| | FOR THE INTEGRATION OF ALTERNATE, LOWER-COST MEANS THAT |
| | MAY BE EMPLOYED TO RETROFIT EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT ARE |
| | NOT OTHERWISE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION SO |
| | THAT THE COST OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS DOES NOT EXCEED |
| | APPROXIMATELY 15 PERCENT OF THE COST OF REROOFING. |

| | EVALUATION AND INSTALLATION OF CONNECTIONS AT GABLE |
| | ENDS OR ALL CORNERS CAN BE COMPLETED FOR 15 PERCENT OF |
| | THE COST OF ROOF REPLACEMENT. FOR HOUSES THAT HAVE BOTH |
| | HIP AND GABLE ROOF ENDS, THE PRIORITY SHALL BE TO |
| | RETROFIT THE GABLE END ROOF-TO-WALL CONNECTIONS UNLESS |
| | THE WIDTH OF THE HIP IS MORE THAN 1.5 TIMES GREATER |
| | THAN THE WIDTH OF THE GABLE END. PRIORITY SHALL BE |
| | GIVEN TO CONNECTING THE CORNERS OF ROOFS TO WALLS BELOW |
| | THE LOCATIONS AT WHICH THE SPANS OF THE ROOFING MEMBERS |
| | ARE GREATEST; |
