2017-02-08 16:55:32THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE
 MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
  
  
 1) SHEET A5 - DOOR 102 IS NOT INDICATED AS BEING RATED.
  
 PER NFPA 101, CHAPTER 7 MEANS OF EGRESS.
  
 7.1.3.2 EXITS.
 7.1.3.2.1 WHERE THIS CODE REQUIRES AN EXIT TO BE
 SEPARATED FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE BUILDING, THE
 SEPARATING CONSTRUCTION SHALL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF
 SECTION 8.2 AND THE FOLLOWING:
 (1)* THE SEPARATION SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM 1-HOUR FIRE
 RESISTANCE RATING WHERE THE EXIT CONNECTS THREE OR
 FEWER STORIES.
  
 (8) OPENINGS IN THE SEPARATION SHALL BE PROTECTED BY
 FIRE DOOR ASSEMBLIES EQUIPPED WITH DOOR CLOSERS
 COMPLYING WITH 7.2.1.8.
  
 (9)* OPENINGS IN EXIT ENCLOSURES SHALL BE LIMITED TO
 DOOR ASSEMBLIES FROM NORMALLY OCCUPIED SPACES AND
 CORRIDORS AND DOOR ASSEMBLIES FOR EGRESS FROM THE
 ENCLOSURE,
  
  
 FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES AND INCLUDED IN THE NFPA 101
 LIFE SAFETY HANDBOOK THE EXTERIOR DOOR DOES REQUIRED TO
 BE RATED; HOWEVER, IT MUST BE CONSIDERED IF THERE IS AN
 EXSPOSURE FROM AN ADJACENT SOURCE.
  
 FOR AREAS ALONG CLEMATIS IT IS COMMON TO PLACE TABLES
 AND CHAIRS AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLES ON THE FRONT EXTERIOR
 AREAS. FOR FUTURE POTENTIAL PROJECT USE IT IS STRONGLY

 CONSISTENT WITH THE ENTIRE STAIRWELL CONSTURCTION
 PROPERTIES.
  
  
  
 2) SHEET T $ LS 1 - THERE IS INDICATIONS OF THE

 AND ANY PERFORMANCE BASED INFORMATION SUCH AS
 PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEMS.
  
 61G15-32.003 COMMON REQUIREMENTS TO ALL FIRE PROTECTION
 ENGINEERING

 SHALL SPECIFY THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
 ACCEPTANCE TESTING OF THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND
 COMPONENTS, WHICH SHALL BE BASED UPON APPLICABLE CODES
 AND STANDARDS, WHERE AVAILABLE.

 SPECIFIC HAZARD BEING PROTECTED BY THE FIRE PROTECTION
 SYSTEM(S) SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
 ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS.
 (4) THE APPLICABLE CODE AND STANDARD TO BE USED IN THE
 PREPARATION OF THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM LAYOUT
 DOCUMENTS SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
 ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS. WHEN CODES AND STANDARDS ARE NOT
 AVAILABLE OR APPLICABLE, AND SAID LAYOUT DOCUMENTS ARE
 TO BE BASED ON ENGINEERING JUDGMENT, ANY REASONS AND
 ASSUMPTIONS MADE TO DEVELOP THE FIRE PROTECTION CONCEPT
 SHALL BE IDENTIFIED ON THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
 ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS.
 (5) STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND STRUCTURAL OPENINGS REQUIRED
 BY THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE
 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS AND SHALL
 BE REFERENCED ON STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS.
 (6) WHEN LAYOUT DOCUMENTS CONTAIN MATERIAL DEVIATION
 FROM THE ENGINEER OF RECORD'S FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
 ENGINEERING DOCUMENT, SUCH LAYOUT DOCUMENTS ARE NOT
 COMPLIANT UNLESS THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY REVISED
 ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS MADE AND SEALED BY THE ENGINEER
 OF RECORD FOR THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
 (7) REQUIREMENTS FOR ACTIVATION CONTROL SYSTEMS,
 SEQUENCE, OPERATING PARAMETERS, INTERLOCKS, SAFETY
 RELATED DEVICES, INDICATORS AND ALARMS, SHALL BE SHOWN
 ON THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS,
 UNLESS SHOWN ON OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS.
 (8) ANY INFORMATION DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE ENGINEER
 OF RECORD TO ASSIST THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION
 IN UNDERSTANDING THE OWNER?S INTENDED USE AND PROPOSED
 PROTECTION OF THE BUILDING OR FACILITY AND TO PROVIDE
 SUFFICIENT DIRECTION TO THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR OR
 OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES REGARDING THE LAYOUT OF THE
 SYSTEM(S), SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE FIRE PROTECTION
 SYSTEM ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS.

 61G15-32.004 DESIGN OF WATER BASED FIRE PROTECTION
 SYSTEMS.
 (1) WATER BASED FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS INCLUDE, BUT
 ARE NOT LIMITED TO, AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEMS OF WET,
 DRY, FINE WATER SPRAY (MIST), MANUAL, AND DELUGE VALVE
 CONTROLLED TYPES, PUMPING SYSTEMS, STANDPIPES, FIRE
 WATER MAINS AND DEDICATED FIRE PROTECTION WATER
 SOURCES.
 (2) TO ENSURE MINIMUM DESIGN QUALITY IN FIRE PROTECTION
 SYSTEM ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS, SAID DOCUMENTS SHALL
 INCLUDE AS A MINIMUM THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WHEN
 APPLICABLE:
 (A) THE POINT OF SERVICE FOR THE FIRE PROTECTION WATER
 SUPPLY AS DEFINED BY 633.021(18) F.S.
 (B) APPLICABLE NFPA STANDARD TO BE APPLIED, OR IN THE
 CASE WHERE NO SUCH STANDARD EXISTS, THE ENGINEERING
