Date	Text
2018-06-26 15:05:28	THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE
	MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:

	1) SHEET A 0.01 - THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THIS IS A
	PROPOSED BUSINESS OCCUPANCY WITH ACCESSORY STORAGE.

	ON REVIEW OF THE FLORIDA LIFE SAFETY CODE IT WOULD
	APPEAR THAT THIS IS A PROPOSED STORAGE OCCUPANCY WITH
	ACCESSORY BUSINESS. THE SHOWROOM AREA IS MORE STORAGE
	THAT BUSINESS.

	PER NFPA 101

	3.3.190.3* BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. AN OCCUPANCY USED FOR
	THE
	TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS OTHER THAN MERCANTILE.
	(SAF-MER)

	A.3.3.190.3 BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. BUSINESS OCCUPANCIES
	INCLUDE
	THE FOLLOWING:
	(1) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS (ATCTS)
	(2) CITY HALLS
	(3) COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTIONAL BUILDINGS,
	CLASSROOMS
	UNDER 50 PERSONS, AND INSTRUCTIONAL LABORATORIES
	(4) COURTHOUSES
	(5) DENTISTS? OFFICES
	(6) DOCTORS? OFFICES
	(7) GENERAL OFFICES
	(8) OUTPATIENT CLINICS (AMBULATORY)
	(9) TOWN HALLS

	3.3.190.15* STORAGE OCCUPANCY. AN OCCUPANCY USED
	PRIMARILY
	FOR THE STORAGE OR SHELTERING OF GOODS, MERCHANDISE,
	PRODUCTS, OR

	INCLUDE
	THE FOLLOWING:
	(1) BARNS
	(2) BULK OIL STORAGE
	(3) COLD STORAGE
	(4) FREIGHT TERMINALS
	(5) GRAIN ELEVATORS
	(6) HANGARS (FOR STORAGE ONLY)
	(7) PARKING STRUCTURES
	(8) TRUCK AND MARINE TERMINALS
	(9) WAREHOUSES
	STORAGE OCCUPANCIES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THE PRESENCE
	OF
	RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBERS OF PERSONS IN PROPORTION TO
	THE AREA.

	HOWEVER, THIS ALSO APPEARS TO BE A MIXED NON-SEPARATED
	OCCUPANCY, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE MOST STRINGENT CODE
	REQUIRMENTS OF THE TWO.

	38.1.3 MULTIPLE OCCUPANCIES.
	38.1.3.1 GENERAL.
	38.1.3.1.1 ALL MULTIPLE OCCUPANCIES SHALL BE IN
	ACCORDANCE WITH
	6.1.14 AND 38.1.3.
	38.1.3.1.2 WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE SPECIFIC
	REQUIREMENTS
	IN THIS CHAPTER AND PROVISIONS FOR MIXED OCCUPANCIES OR
	SEPARATED
	OCCUPANCIES AS SPECIFIED IN 6.1.14.3 AND 6.1.14.4, THE
	REQUIREMENTS
	OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL APPLY.

	PLEASE REVIEW, CORRECT OR CLARIFY WITH SPECIFIC LIFE
	SAFETY CODE REFERENCES.



	2) SHEET A 2.01 - THOUGH THE CODE MAY ALLOW FOR
	NON-SEPARATED OCCUPANCY, THE HAZARD OF THE STORAGE AREA
	SHALL BE CONSIDERED.

	WHAT IS THE COMPLETE EXTENT OF THE STORAGE AREA?

	WHAT WORK WILL OCCUR IN THESE SPACES?

	WHERE WILL BATTERIES BE STORED?

	WILL THERE BE ACID STORED?

	WILL THERE BE OIL OR GAS STORED?

	PLEASE PROVIDE AS MUCH DETAILED INFORMATION AS
	POSSIBLE.

	PER NFPA 101, CHAPTER 6, CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPANCY

	OR WHERE OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY CHAPTERS 11 THROUGH 43
