| | FBC = FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, 5TH EDITION (2014) |
| | FBC B = FBC BUILDING |
| | FBC EB = FBC EXISTING BUILDING |
| | FBC A = FBC ACCESSIBILITY |
| | FBC EC = FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION |
| | |
| | FBC A FAIR HOUSING CHAPTER, THIS PROJECT IS SUBJECT TO |
| | FAIR HOUSING REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1. SHEET A2-90-11C. REVISE PLAN TO CLARIFY CLEAR |
| | OPENING WIDTH FOR THE NEW DOORS. FAIR HOUSING REQUIRES |
| | A CLEAR WIDTH OF 32 INCHES. 2014 FBC- ACCESSIBILITY/ |
| | FAIR HOUSING SECTION 100.205.(C)(2)(2). |
| | |
| | FOR POCKET DOORS - IF THE CLEAR OPENING WIDTH IS 32" OR |
| | LESS WITH THE DOOR IN THE FULLY RECESSED POSITION, IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THIS DOES NOT PROVIDE SOMEONE WHO NEEDS |
| | ACCESSIBLE HARDWARE THE ABILITY TO USE THE DOOR AND |
| | MAINTAIN THE 32" CLEARANCE (SEE USABLE DOORS, FIGURE |
| | 1). IF SUCH HARDWARE IS AVAILABLE AND USABLE WITH THE |
| | DOOR IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION, PLEASE SEND |
| | INFORMATION VIA EMAIL FOR PRELIMINARY REVIEW. |
| | |
| | PER BUILDING OFFICIAL: IF A POCKET DOOR CAN BE |
| | RETROFITTED WITH A SWING DOOR WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE |
| | 32" CLEARANCE, AND A SWING DOOR CAN BE INSTALLED IN THE |
| | FUTURE IN THAT LOCATION (ENOUGH SPACE), THAT OPTION |
| | WOULD BE ACCEPTED. THE INTENT IS THAT AN OCCUPANT HAS |
| | AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE THROUGHOUT THE UNIT WITHOUT MAJOR |
| | CONSTRUCTION (MOVING WALLS, REFRAMING DOOR OPENINGS). |
| | IF A POCKET DOOR CAN BE ADAPTED WITH A DOOR CHANGE, |
| | THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS, PLEASE FEEL |
| | FREE TO CONTACT ME. |
| | |
| | IF ANY OF THE REVISED DOORS ARE EXEMPT BECAUSE IT IS A |
| | SHALLOW CLOSET, REVISE TO SHOW DEPTH. THE FAIR HOUSING |
| | ACT DESIGN MANUAL RECOMMENDS A MAXIMUM OF 18" DEPTH. IF |
| | A DOOR WHICH DOES NOT HAVE 32" CLEARANCE IS PROPOSED |
| | FOR A CLOSET DEEPER THAN 18", PLEASE PROVIDE RATIONALE |
| | VIA EMAIL. |
| | |
| | 2. SHEET A6.69-11C, CLARIFY CLEAR OPENING FOR THE |
| | SLIDING GLASS DOOR. PROVIDE A DETAIL WHICH SHOWS THE |
| | HARDWARE DISTANCE FROM DOOR EDGE. |
| | |
| | 3. REVISE PLAN TO SHOW CLEARANCE AND CLEAR FLOOR SPACE |
| | IN THE KITCHEN, FBC A FAIR HOUSING 100.205(C)(3)(IV) |
| | GUIDELINE (1), 40" CLEARANCE AND CLEAR FLOOR SPACE. IT |
| | IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WAS SHOWN ON THE BUILDING |
| | PLANS BUT THIS PLAN INDICATES THAT THE KITCHEN IS BEING |
| | RECONFIGURED. |
| | |
| | 4. IF ANY OF THESE ISSUES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED |
| | ON THE MASTER, PLEASE SEND THE PAGE NUMBER VIA EMAIL |
| | AND A RE-REVIEW WILL BE DONE. |
| | |
| | PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS. |
| | |
