| | SPACES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW |
| | DATE: FRI. MAY 19, 2017 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1A) THE 2014 FBC-EXISTING BUILDING CODE LEVEL II |
| | COMPLIANCE. 805.2 THE MEANS OF EGRESS SHALL COMPLY WITH |
| | THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION. |
| | EXCEPTIONS: |
| | 1. WHERE THE WORK AREA AND THE MEANS OF EGRESS SERVING |
| | IT COMPLIES WITH NFPA 101. |
| | 2. MEANS OF EGRESS CONFORMING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | THE BUILDING CODE UNDER WHICH THE BUILDING WAS |
| | CONSTRUCTED SHALL BE CONSIDERED COMPLIANT MEANS OF |
| | EGRESS IF, IN THE OPINION OF THE CODE OFFICIAL, THEY DO |
| | NOT CONSTITUTE A DISTINCT HAZARD TO LIFE. |
| | |
| | THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1994 UNDER THE 1991 SSBC. |
| | WHEN REVIEWING IF THE CORRIDORS WERE RATED TABLE 700 |
| | UNDER THE HEADING EXIT ACCESS CORRIDORS WALLS AND |
| | PARTITIONS (1HR.), OPENING PROTECTIVES (20 MIN.). |
| | FOOTNOTE 4 & 5. FOOTNOTE # 5 DEALS WITH GROUP I |
| | BUILDINGS SPRINKLERED. FOOTNOTE 4 SEE SECTION 702.4.2. |
| | EXIT ACCESS CORRIDORS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE RATED ON |
| | ANY SINGLE TENANT SPACE IN A GROUP B BUILDING WHEN THE |
| | BUILDING IS PROTECTED THROUGHOUT BY AN APPROVED |
| | AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND SMOKE DETECTORS |
| | INSTALLED IN RETURN AIR ARRANGED TO SHUT DOWN |
| | MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | STANDARD MECHANICAL CODE. |
| | |
| | I'VE TAKEN THIS CONCERN TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SINCE |
| | THIS BUILDING IS NOT SPRINKLERED AND THE CORRIDOR WALL |
| | SHOULD HAVE BEEN RATED FROM THE 1991 SBC. WE HAVE |
| | REVIEWED THE ORIGINAL 12 SHEETS OF PLANS WHEN THE |
| | BUILDING WAS BUILT. |
| | WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WOULD LIKE |
| | TO HAVE ANSWERED TO MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION IF HE |
| | WILL REQUIRE FIRE RARING OF CORRIDORS WITH OPENING |
| | PROTECTIVES. THE (2) MECHANICAL CLOSETS SHOWN ON THE |
| | PLANS, ARE THE WALLS FIRE RATED WITH OPENING |
| | PROTECTIVES? PLEASE PROVIDE THE CEILING HEIGHT OF THE |
| | LOBBY, CORRIDORS AND OF THE MAIN AUDITORIUM. PLEASE |
| | ALSO PROVIDE THE HEADER HEIGHTS FOR THE OPENINGS |
| | LEADING INTO THE AUDITORIUM FROM THE CORRIDORS AND |
| | IDENTIFY WHAT APPEARS TO BE A 7.5 FOOT WIDE EITHER |
| | OPENING, SCREEN AND OR WINDOW ON BOTH SIDES OF THE |
| | AUDITORIUM SEPARATING THE AUDITORIUM AND CORRIDOR. FROM |
| | THE LIMITED PLANS THAT WERE ON FILE, IT APPEARS THE |
| | CORRIDOR CEILING IS AT 10 FT. ELEVATION, THE OPENINGS |
| | INTO THE AUDITORIUM ARE ASSUMED ALSO 10 FEET TALL, THE |
| | OPENINGS 7.5 FEET WIDE, HEIGHT UNKNOWN AND THE |
| | AUDITORIUM CEILING IS ASSUMED TO BE 12 FEET ABOVE THE |
| | FINISH FLOOR ELEVATION. IN THEORY WE ARE CONSIDERING |
| | THE LOBBY AS OPEN AND WILL DISPERSE SMOKE INTO THE |
| | CORRIDORS. THE ISSUE IS THERE ENOUGH OPENINGS FROM THE |
| | NON-RATED CORRIDOR INTO THE AUDITORIUM TO ALLOW THE |
| | SMOKE TO ESCAPE TO THE AUDITORIUM CEILING BUILDING DOWN |
| | ALLOWING ENOUGH TIME FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO LEAVE EITHER |
| | THROUGH THE FRONT LOBBY ENTRY OR DIRECTLY USING THE 2 |
| | SIDE EXITS. THE 2 SIDE EXITS THAT LEAD FROM THE |
| | AUDITORIUM ARE SEPARATED BY ? THE MAJOR DIAGONAL |
| | DISTANCE APART CODE COMPLIANT FOR THAT ROOM. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE A SIGNED AND SEALED ANALYSIS OF THE |
| | BUILDING, PROVIDING WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ALTERNATE |
| | MATERIALS AND METHODS TO BE REVIEWED BY THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL AS EQUAL TO THE CODE AT TIME THE BUILDING WAS |
| | BUILT. |
