	1. REVISE SITE PLAN TO SHOW PROPOSED LOCATION OF
	CONSTRUCTION TRAILER AND REQUIRED RAMP AND STAIRS, FBC
	107.

	2. ALTHOUGH EXEMPT FROM FLORIDA BUILDING CODE PER
	FLORIDA STATUTE, THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE EXEMPT FROM
	ACCESSIBILITY. A RAMP IS REQUIRED. THIS MAY BE A
	PROVISO ITEM UPON REQUEST. IF APPLICANT FEELS THEY ARE
	EXEMPT FROM ACCESSIBILITY, PLEASE CONTACT ME TO
	DISCUSS. FBC 5TH EDITION ACCESSIBILITY 402.

	3. ALTHOUGH EXEMPT FROM FLORIDA BUILDING CODE PER
	FLORIDA STATUTE, THIS STRUCTURE IS NOT EXEMPT FROM NFIP
	(AKA FEMA) REQUIREMENTS. CLARIFY THE HEIGHT OF THE
	FOUNDATION FOR THIS STRUCTURE. IF THE FOUNDATION WILL
	BE SUBJECT TO FLOOD LOADS (INSTALLED BELOW 14 FT), THE
	FOUNDATION IS TO BE DESIGNED TO RESIST FLOOD LOADS FBC
	1622, CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE 94-546.
	THERE IS A NOTE ON THE PLAN WHICH STATES THAT THIS
	CANNOT BE SUBJECT TO WAVE ACTION, BUT DOES NOT STATE
	THAT IT WILL RESIST FLOOD LOADS. CLARIFICATION IS
	NEEDED. A LETTER FROM THE ENGINEER WILL SUFFICE.

	4. SEE NFIP REVIEW.
