| | |
| | 3A) COMMENT AS TO SHEET 102-A2.52B AND SHEET 156-A4.13A |
| | DETAIL # 5. THE PLANS SHOW DOUBLE WOOD SLEEPERS AND |
| | WOOD DECK. THE PLANS ARE SILENT AS TO THE TYPE OF WOOD |
| | THE SLEEPERS AND DECK WILL BE MADE. HOW THE DECK WILL |
| | BE ANCHORED IN HIGH WIND EVENTS. SPACING OF THE |
| | SLEEPERS, THICKNESS OF DECK MATERIALS, SPACING OF |
| | MATERIAL AND THE COMPLIANCE WITH 2010 FBC-B 603.1.1 |
| | FIRE RETARDANT TREATED WOODS. |
| | |
| | 3B) THERE ARE 2 OTHER CONCERNS ABOUT THE WOOD DECK |
| | SHOWN ON SHEET 102-A2.52B, BETWEEN GRAPH LINES 9 & 10 |
| | THERE IS A BALCONY DIVIDER AND TO THE RIGHT AT POINT P5 |
| | THE WOOD DECK ENDS, HOW IS THE FINISH DECK ELEVATION |
| | CHANGE IN REGARDS TO THE CONCRETE DECK TO THE RIGHT? |
| | 107.2.1.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 3C) WITHOUT THE KNOWN ELEVATION CHANGE FROM THE WOOD |
| | DECK TO THE FINISH CONCRETE DECK THE PROBLEM MAY OCCUR |
| | IF THE CONCRETE DECK IS THE SAME HEIGHT THROUGHOUT ALL |
| | OF THE 2ND FLOOR LEVEL AND THE WOOD DECK BEING 3 ? |
| | INCHES HIGHER THAN THE CONCRETE DECK, THEN WE WOULD NOT |
| | MET THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT FOR THE GUARDRAIL OF 42 |
| | INCHES, PER 2010 1013.2. |
| | |
| | 4A) THE MEETING HELD ON JULY 26TH/ 2017 IN THE PLANNING |
| | DEPARTMENT INDICATED PLANS WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED IN |
| | REGARDS TO THE USE OF 2 HR. RATED SHAFTS VERSES THE USE |
| | OF FLAMEBAR. THE CURRENT SET OF REVISIONS SUBMITTED |
| | SHOW ON SHEET 437-M5.01 IN NOTE 1 THE USE OF FLAMEBAR |
| | ON ALL TOILET & KITCHEN EXHAUST DUCT HORIZONTAL OFFSETS |
| | TO BE COMPLETED WITH FLAMEBAR DUCT. |
| | SHEET $38-M5.02 A SIMILAR NOTE. SHEET 440-M504 NOTE 1 |
| | ALL SMOKE EXHAUST, PRESSURIZATION DUCTS AND OUTSIDE AIR |
| | HORIZONTAL OFFSETS SHALL BE DONE WITH FLAME BAR. PLEASE |
| | NOTE ONCE THE DISCUSSION WAS STARTED IT APPEARS THE |
| | PLANS ARE NOT CORRECT, AND FLAMEBAR IS TO BE USED |
| | TOTALLY AND THE ELIMINATION OF ALL SHAFTS. |
| | DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE ARCHITECT AND MECHANICAL |
| | ENGINEER SHOWED TO DATE( 7/18/17 MEETING) THERE HADN?T |
| | BEEN AN AGREEMENT REACHED. |
| | IN DISCUSSION OVER E-MAILS THERE HAD BEEN TALK OF A |
| | FLORIDA DECLARATORY STATEMENT, BUT TO DATE NONE HAS |
| | BEEN PROVIDED. IN THE 2010 FBC-B IN SECTION 708.2 |
| | PROVIDES WHERE SHAFTS ARE REQUIRED AND THE EXCEPTIONS. |
| | IF THE DESIGNERS WOULD LIKE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO |
| | CONSIDER THIS UNDER THE 2010 WEST PALM BEACH AMENDMENTS |
| | TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, ADMINISTRATION |
| | 104.11. ALTERNATE MATERIALS, DESIGN AND METHODS OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT. THE DESIGNER MUST REQUEST |
| | IN WRITING THAT THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WOULD REVIEW, AND |
| | ALLOW THIS AS AN EQUAL TO THE CODE. |
| | |
| | 104.11 ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS, DESIGN AND METHODS OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT. THE |
| | PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE ARE NOT INTENDED TO PREVENT THE |
| | INSTALLATION OF ANY MATERIAL OR TO PROHIBIT |
| | ANY DESIGN OR METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION NOT SPECIFICALLY |
| | PRESCRIBED BY THIS CODE, PROVIDED THAT |
| | ANY SUCH ALTERNATIVE HAS BEEN APPROVED. AN ALTERNATIVE |
| | MATERIAL, DESIGN OR METHOD OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE APPROVED WHERE THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL FINDS THAT THE PROPOSED DESIGN IS |
| | SATISFACTORY AND COMPLIES WITH THE INTENT OF THE |
| | PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE, AND THAT THE MATERIAL, METHOD |
| | OR WORK OFFERED IS, FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED, AT LEAST |
| | THE EQUIVALENT OF THAT PRESCRIBED IN THIS CODE IN |
| | QUALITY, STRENGTH, EFFECTIVENESS, FIRE RESISTANCE, |
| | DURABILITY AND SAFETY. WHEN ALTERNATE LIFE SAFETY |
| | SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED, THE SFPE ENGINEERING GUIDE TO |
| | PERFORMANCE-BASED FIRE PROTECTION |
| | ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS, OR OTHER METHODS |
| | APPROVED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL MAY BE USED. |
| | THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL REQUIRE THAT SUFFICIENT |
| | EVIDENCE OR PROOF BE SUBMITTED TO SUBSTANTIATE ANY |
| | CLAIM MADE REGARDING THE ALTERNATIVE. |
| | 104.11.1 RESEARCH REPORTS. SUPPORTING DATA, WHERE |
| | NECESSARY TO ASSIST IN THE APPROVAL OF |
| | MATERIALS OR ASSEMBLIES NOT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR |
| | IN THIS CODE, SHALL CONSIST OF VALID |
| | RESEARCH REPORTS FROM APPROVED SOURCES. |
| | 104.11.2 TESTS. WHENEVER THERE IS INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE |
| | OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF |
| | THIS CODE, OR EVIDENCE THAT A MATERIAL OR METHOD DOES |
| | NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS |
| | CODE, OR IN ORDER TO SUBSTANTIATE CLAIMS FOR |
| | ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS OR METHODS, THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE TESTS AS |
| | EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE TO BE MADE AT NO |
| | EXPENSE TO THE JURISDICTION. TEST METHODS SHALL BE AS |
| | SPECIFIED IN THIS CODE OR BY OTHER |
| | RECOGNIZED TEST STANDARDS. IN THE ABSENCE OF RECOGNIZED |
| | AND ACCEPTED TEST METHODS, THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL APPROVE THE TESTING PROCEDURES. |
| | TESTS SHALL BE PERFORMED BY AN APPROVED |
| | AGENCY. REPORTS OF SUCH TESTS SHALL BE RETAINED BY THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR THE PERIOD REQUIRED |
| | FOR RETENTION OF PUBLIC RECORDS. |
| | |
| | 4B) THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED |
| | WITH THE REMOVAL OF SHAFT WALL CONSTRUCTION, |
| | (CONSIDERED COMMON AREAS) WILL BE THE REPLACEMENT WALL |
| | SYSTEM, USUALLY A CHASE WALL SYSTEM POSSIBLY |
| | WITH DRYWALL ON ONLY ONE SIDE, AND OR MAYBE INSULATION. |
| | THIS WALL SYSTEM WOULD STILL NEED TO SHOW COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH THE 2010 FBC-B 1207.2 AIR-BORNE SOUND. WALLS, |
| | PARTITIONS AND FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLIES SEPARATING |
| | DWELLING UNITS FROM EACH OTHER OR FROM PUBLIC OR |
| | SERVICE AREAS SHALL HAVE A SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS |
| | (STC) OF NOT LESS THAN 50 (45 IF FIELD TESTED) FOR |
| | AIR-BORNE NOISE WHEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM E |
| | 90. |
| | |
| | 5) DURING THE MEETING HELD ON 7/26/17 THERE WAS |
| | DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE USE OF THE TYPE OF ROOFING |
| | INSULATION TO BE USED. THE ARCHITECT SHOWS ON THE PLANS |
| | THE USE POLYISOCYANURATE BOARD SHEET A4.31 DETAIL # 1. |
| | THE ROOFING SPEC 07 5400 IS GIVEN. THE SPEC BOOKS ARE |
| | NOT INCLUDED IN THE PLAN REVIEWS NOR DO WE REVIEW THEM. |
| | IN THE MEETING IT WAS DISCUSSED POSSIBLY TO GOING AND |
| | USING LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE INSTEAD OF POLYISOCYANURATE |
| | BOARD. |
| | |
| | WHEN YOU REVIEW THE LIGHTWEIGHT SPEC SECTION 03 52 00 |
| | FOR LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE ROOF INSULATION WRITER HAS |
| | MANY OPTIONS AS TO HOW TO WRITE THE SPEC FOR VENTING |
| | DEPENDING ON LOCATION TYPE OF DECK CONCRETE VERSES |
| | STEEL DECK WITH VENTING OF DECK OR NON-VENTED STEEL |
| | DECKING TO ALIEVE THE MOISTURE WITHIN THE LIGHTWEIGHT |
| | CONCRETE. |
| | |
| | I COULD NOT FIND A ROOFING SPEC LISTED FOR 07 5400 BUT |
| | DID FIND A ROOF SPEC 07 5300 FOR SINGLE PLY MEMBRANE |
| | ROOFING, THE COMPANIES LISTED ARE CARLISLE, FLEX, GAF, |
| | SIKA SARNAFIL, AND VERSICO EACH WRITING THEIR OWN |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR ROOF INSULATION AND INSTALLATION OF |
| | SYSTEMS AND VENTING REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 6A) WITHIN THE MEETING HELD ON 7/26/2017 THERE WAS |
| | DISCUSSION ON THE POOL AND REQUIREMENT FOR A SEPARATE |
| | BUILDING PERMIT. IT WAS INDICATED THERE WILL BE A |
| | PREFABRICATED WALL SYSTEM WITH POOL LINER. |
| | THIS REVISION SHOWS DETAILS FOR THE MEMBRANE LINER, |
| | SHEET 746-W5.1_04: |
| | DETAIL 01 MAIN POOL TYPICAL EDGE |
| | DETAIL 02 MAIN POOL STAIRS |
| | DETAIL 03 MAIN POOL STRUCTURAL SYSTEM / HOT SPA WALL & |
| | EDGE |
| | THESE AND OTHER DETAILS SHOW THE PREFABRICATED WALL AND |
| | STRUCTURAL BRACING/ STRUCTURAL WALL COMPONENT POOL WALL |
| | SYSTEM WILL BE UNDER A SEPARATE POOL (BUILDING PERMIT) |
| | OR WILL SUFFOLK CONSTRUCTION BE SUBMITTING THESE |
| | DETAILS UNDER A FUTURE REVISION? 107.2.1.3. ADDITIONAL |
| | INFORMATION REQUIRED? |
| | |
| | 6B) SHEET 746-W5-104 DETAIL 03, IN THE SUBMITTED DETAIL |
| | IT WOULD APPEAR THERE WOULD BE GREATER WATER PRESSURE |
| | ON THE POOL SIDE WALL SINCE IT IS DEEPER THAN THE SPA, |
| | SHOULD THE LATERAL BRACING BE TURNED THE OPPOSITE WAY |
| | TO HELPS SUPPORT, AND BRACE THE POOL WALL. 107.2.1.3 |
| | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 7) A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW |
| | COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION |
| | MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR |
| | PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
