| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2) PARTIALLY COMPLIED. SEE NEW COMMENTS REGARDING LIFE |
| | SAFETY PLANS. |
| | A) WHEN DETERMINING OCCUPANT LOADS PER FBC 1004.1, THE |
| | DECIMALS OF A NUMBER ARE TO BE ROUNDED UP TO THE NEXT |
| | HIGHER WHOLE NUMBER. NEW COMMENTS:THE OCCUPANT LOAD OF |
| | 3.2 FOR THE SECOND FLOOR OFFICE #202 WILL BE 4 |
| | OCCUPANTS, NOT 3. ON THE FIRST FLOOR THE 3.1 OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD OF ROOM #102 WILL BE 4 OCCUPANTS AND THE 3.27 |
| | OCCUPANTS OF ROOM #1 WILL ALSO BE 4 OCCUPANTS. |
| | B) COMPLIES. |
| | C) THE EXTERIOR EXIT STAIR IS REQUIRED BY FBC 1027.5 TO |
| | HAVE A MINIMUM FIRE SEPARATION DISTANCE OF 10 FEET |
| | MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES FROM THE EXTERIOR EDGE OF THE |
| | STAIRWAY. THIS STAIRWAY DOES NOT HAVE 10 FEET TO THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE OR TO THE BUILDING ON THE ADJACENT LOT. |
| | NEW COMMENTS: THE BUILDING OFFICIAL HAS DETERMINED THAT |
| | THE EXTERIOR EXIT STAIR WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN AS |
| | EXISTING, AS LONG AS, THE WALL OF THE ADJACENT BUILDING |
| | IS CMU AND THE 4 X 4 WINDOW IN THE WALL IS NOT WITHIN |
| | 10 FEET OF THE EXIT STAIRS. |
| | |
| | 3) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 4) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 5) ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 6) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 7) PARTIALLY COMPLIED. SPECIFY THE ITEMS AND QUANTITY |
| | OF THEM THAT WILL BE STORED ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN ROOM |
| | #204. NEW COMMENT: THE RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT RUM |
| | WILL BE STORED WITHIN THE BUILDING ON LEVEL TWO AND/OR |
| | AS NEEDED ON LEVEL ONE. SINCE THERE WERE NO MSDS ( |
| | MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS) SUBMITTED FOR THE RUM, I |
| | WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN SOME INFORMATION ON RUM FROM THE |
| | INTERNET. THE FLASH POINT FOR 80 % ETHANOL IS 20.0 |
| | DEGREES CELCIUS (68 DEGREES F) AND THE BOILING POINT IS |
| | 78.5 DEGREES CELCIUS (173.3 DEGREES F). THIS MAKES RUM |
| | A CLASS IB FLAMABLE LIQUID. BASED ON FBC TABLE 307.1(1) |
| | A MAXIMUM OF 120 GALLONS OF RUM CAN BE STORED PER |
| | CONTROL AREA ON SITE WITHOUT BEING CONSIDERED AN H-3 |
| | OCCUPANCY. FOOTNOTE B FOR THIS TABLE STATES THAT THE |
| | AGGREGRATE QUANITY IN USE AND STORAGE SHALL NOT EXCEED |
| | THE QUANITY LISTED FOR STORAGE. FOOTNOTE C ALLOWS THE |
| | QUANTITY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN RETAIL AND WHOLESALE |
| | SALE OCCUPANCIES TO NOT BE LIMITED, PROVIDED THE |
| | LIQUIDS ARE PACKAGED IN INDIVIDUAL CONTAINERS NOT |
| | EXCEEDING 1.3 GALLONS. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WILL ALLOW |
| | THE UNLIMITED STORAGE OF THE RUM IN INDIVIDUAL |
| | CONTAINERS NOT EXCEEDING 1.3 GALLONS. WHEN THE |
| | MATERIALS IN THE RUM PRODUCTION PROCESS REACH THE POINT |
| | IT BECOMES A FLAMABLE LIQUID THEN NO MORE THAN 120 |
| | GALLONS PER CONTROL AREA IS ALLOWED WITHOUT BEING |
| | CONSIDERED A HAZARDOUS OCCUPANCY (H-3). FBC 307.1 THE |
| | RUM DISTILLERY PROCESS OUTLINE THAT WAS SUBMITTED DOES |
| | NOT STATE THE AMOUNT OF RUM ( CLASS IB FLAMABLE LIQUID) |
| | THAT WILL BE IN THE PROCESS. THE PLANS SHOW A 1000 |
| | GALLON AND A 600 GALLON SPIRIT SAFE. SO IT WOULD APPEAR |
| | THAT THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 1600 GALLONS OF RUM IN THE |
| | SPIRT SAFES. THIS EXCEEDS THE 120 GALLONS ALLOWED BY |
| | FBC TABLE 307.1(1) AND WILL REQUIRE THIS AREA TO BE H-3 |
| | RATHER THAN F-1. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW THIS WILL BE |
| | ADDRESSED. |

| | OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR TOURS, ETC. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 15-2) NOT COMPLIANT. (THE RESPONSE TO THIS COMMENT |
| | STATES THAT THE SECOND FLOOR IS PRIMARILY STORAGE WITH |
| | ONE OFFICE WHICH HAS AN OCCUPANCY OF 3 PERSONS. THE |
| | PLANS STILL SHOW TWO OFFICES AND AN OCCUPANCY OF 4 |
| | PERSONS IN EACH FOR A TOTAL OF 8. THE CALCULATED |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD FOR EACH SPACE IS REQUIRED TO BE ROUNDED |
| | UP THE NEXT HIGHER WHOLE NUMBER. THE MECHANICAL ROOM |
| | 206 SHOULD NOT HAVE AN OCCUPANT LOAD. THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | FOR THE STORAGE AREA (3 PERSONS) DOES NOT COUNT TOWARD |
| | ACCESSIBILITY. 201.1.1 VERTICAL ACCESSIBILITY. SECTIONS |
| | 553.501-553.513, F.S., AND THE ADA STANDARDS FOR |
| | ACCESSIBLE DESIGN DO NOT RELIEVE THE OWNER OF ANY |

| | BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES MUST, AT A |

| | STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN. |
| | ADVISORY 201.1 SCOPE. THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE TO BE |
| | APPLIED TO ALL AREAS OF A FACILITY UNLESS EXEMPTED, OR |
| | WHERE SCOPING LIMITS THE NUMBER OF MULTIPLE ELEMENTS |
| | REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSIBLE. FOR EXAMPLE, NOT ALL MEDICAL |
| | CARE PATIENT ROOMS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSIBLE; THOSE |
| | THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSIBLE ARE NOT REQUIRED |
| | TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER, COMMON USE |
| | AND PUBLIC USE SPACES SUCH AS RECOVERY ROOMS, |
| | EXAMINATION ROOMS, AND CAFETERIAS ARE NOT EXEMPT FROM |
