| | 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 |
| | |
| | 1. THIS PROJECT APPEARS TO BE A "SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT" AS THE VALUE OF THE IMPROVEMENT EXCEEDS |
| | 50% OF THE STRUCTURE VALUE PER PALM BEACH COUNTY |
| | PROPERTY APPRAISER ($310,000 PERMIT VALUE / $578,777 |
| | PAPA STRUCTURE VALUE). AS THE BFE IS 13' NGVD29, |
| | LOCATED IN FLOOD ZONE A9, PER FIRM PANEL 120229 0020B, |
| | WITH A 1' FREEBOARD PER CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | MUNICIPAL CODE 94-546(B)(2). |
| | |
| | FBC EB 403.2, THE STRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT ARE TO COMPLY |
| | WITH THE MINIMUM DFE OF 14' NGVD29. IT APPEARS THAT THE |
| | STRUCTURE LIKELY COMPLIES (ALTHOUGH ACTUAL FFE IS NOT |
| | CLEAR, SEE OTHER COMMENT REGARDING LOWEST AND NEXT |
| | FLOOR); COMPLIANCE FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT NOT CLEAR. |
| | |
| | 2. S1 DEPICTS TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS CONNECTED WITH A |
| | COMMON WALL, BOTH LABELED AS "EXISTING ONE STORY |
| | BUILDING". THEY APPEAR TO BE ONE BUILDING, STRUCTURALLY |
| | CONNECTED. IF THEY ARE TWO BUILDINGS, REVISE PLAN TO |
| | STATE HOW THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED. IF THEY ARE ONE |
| | BUILDING, REVISE THE LABELS. |
| | |
| | 3. PROVIDE A COPY OF THE SURVEY FOR THIS PROPERTY, FBC |
| | 107, FBC EB 403.2. |

| | ELEVATION AS 0'0", AND REFERS TO NAVD88 ELEVATIONS ON |
| | SURVEY. NO SURVEY WAS PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | PLEASE REVISE S4 TO INCORPORATE THE EXISTING AND |
| | PROPOSED FFE. CLARIFY FFE FOR THE CONNECTED BUILDING |
| | CURRENTLY LABELED AS "EXISTING ONE STORY BUILDING". |
| | |
| | IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT, SINCE THE APPLICATION WAS |
| | SUBMITTED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 5, 2017, THAT THE VERTICAL |
| | DATUM ON THE BUILDING PLANS UTILIZE NGVD29. IF NAVD88 |
| | IS UTILIZED ON THE BUILDING PLANS, INCLUDE A CONVERSION |
| | (AND NOTE METHOD OF CONVERSION) SO COMPLIANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC EB 403.2 IS CLEAR. |
| | |
| | ALL ELEVATION CERTIFICATES CERTIFIED OCTOBER 5, 2017 |
| | AND LATER ARE TO UTILIZE NAV88 AND INCLUDE A CONVERSION |
| | TO NGVD29. |
| | |
| | PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS. |

| | AND ALL EQUIPMENT SERVICING THE BUILDING ARE PROPOSED |
| | TO BE ELEVATED OR INSTALLED AT > 14'NGVD29. REVISE THE |

| | PLEASE CORRECT. FFE IS NOT CLEAR. NOTE THAT BOTH COMPLY |
| | WITH BFE + 1' FREEBOARD. |
| | |

| | THIS IS IN CONFLICT WITH PROPERTY APPRAISER RECORDS. |

| | |
| | E. A9 INDICATES AN 1813 SF GARAGE, C2(D) ELEVATION IS |
| | "NA" AND SHEET S1 DOES NOT SHOW A GARAGE, PLEASE |
| | CORRELATE. |
| | |
| | F. C2 BENCHMARK, SEE INSTRUCTIONS: INCLUDE PERMANENT |
| | IDENTIFIER (PID). ON THE EC, BENCHMARK UTILIZED IS |
| | "LOCAL"; IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THAT MEANS A LOCAL |
| | BENCHMARK, OR IF THE NAME OF THE BENCHMARK IS "LOCAL". |
| | |

| | REQUIRED. SUBMIT THE "FINISHED CONSTRUCTION" ELEVATION |
| | CERTIFICATE AT THE BUILDING DIVISION AS A SUBMITTAL (NO |
| | FEE) FOR REVIEW WHEN AVAILABLE. |
| | |
| | 8. FBC EB 301.1, THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHANGE OF |
| | OCCUPANCY (CH 10). A CURSORY LOOK INTO RECORDS FOR THIS |
| | BUILDING APPEAR TO REFLECT THAT CURRENT OCCUPANCY IS |
| | BUSINESS OR STORAGE. IF THIS IS A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY, |
| | REVISE PLAN TO NOTE THE CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY FROM |
| | CURRENT OCCUPANCY TO MIXED OCCUPANCY F1, M, AND |
| | POSSIBLE ANOTHER OCCUPANCY (TASTING/TOURS). |
| | |
| | VIA A RECORDS RESEARCH REQUEST, PLEASE DETERMINE THE |

| | DIFFERENT PURPOSES SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO EACH OF THE |
| | PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE ROOM OR SPACE WILL BE OCCUPIED." |
| | |
| | NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DETERMINE CODE COMPLIANCE. IF |
| | THIS AREA WILL BE USED FOR TOURS/TASTING, IT APPEARS |
| | THAT THE AREA WOULD ALSO BE SUBJECT TO ACCESSIBILITY. |
| | AN F1 OCCUPANT LOAD OF 51 IS DECLARED; IS THE |
| | TOURS/TASTING OCCUPANT LOAD IN ADDITION TO THIS |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD OR INCLUSIVE? WHAT IS THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | ANTICIPATED FOR THE TOURS/TASTING VS. F1 OCCUPANT LOAD? |
| | |
| | 10. IF THIS IS A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY, SEE FBC EB TABLES |
| | 1012.4 THROUGH 1012.6. IN ANY CASE WHERE CHANGE OF |
| | OCCUPANCY IS MADE TO A HIGHER HAZARD, REVISE PLAN TO |
| | SHOW COMPLIANCE. |

| | 12. THE DOOR TO "MOLASSES TANKS" ROOM LACKS THE |
| | MANEUVERING CLEARANCE REQUIRED BY FBC A TABLE 404.2.4.1 |

| | DISTANCE IS TO BE MEASURED FROM THE MOST REMOTE POINT |
| | WITHIN A STORY ALONG THE NATURAL AND UNOBSTRUCTED PATH |
