| 2019-10-23 09:57:28 | THIS PLAN WAS REVIEWED AND FAILED BY PETER LEDUC, FIRE |
| | MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | A SITE REVIEW WAS CONDUCTED AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING |
| | WHICH IS NOT ADDRESS NOR INDICATED ON THE SUBMITTED |
| | PLAN SETS: |
| | |
| | ? PER FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE AND THE AMERICANS WITH |
| | DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) ALL FACILITIES SHALL BE |
| | ACCESSIBLE TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. THE FLOOR OF |
| | THE BUILDING IS UNEVEN WITH SEVERAL AREAS OF DIFFERENT |
| | TYPES OF FLOORING MATERIALS. THE NORTH ROOM OF THE |
| | BUILDING HAS AREAS THAT ARE FILLED IN WITH PLYWOOD, |
| | SOME AREAS THAT ARE BARE CONCRETE AND OTHERS HAVE |
| | REMNANTS OF MUD SET TILE FLOORING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS |
| | TRIPPING HAZARDS AND THE FLOOR WILL NEED AN EXTENSIVE |
| | AMOUNT OF WORK IN ORDER TO MEET FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE. THE SOUTH PORTION |
| | OF THE BUILDING APPEARS TO BE A NEWER ADDITION AND THE |
| | FLOOR ELEVATION IS APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 8 INCHES HIGHER |
| | THAN THE OLDER NORTH PART. THIS CHANGE IN ELEVATION |
| | WOULD REQUIRE ACCESSIBLE RAMPS. |
| | ? METAL SHORING JACKS. THE ROOF AND CEILING OF THE |
| | FRONT ROOM ARE WOOD FRAME AND THE LARGE WOODEN BEAM |
| | THAT RUNS DOWN THE CENTER OF THE NORTH ROOM IS SHORED |
| | UP WITH METAL SHORING JACKS THIS BEAM HAS EXTENSIVE |
| | TERMITE DAMAGE IN SOME AREAS. SOME OF THE CEILING |
| | JOISTS ALSO HAVE VISIBLE TERMITE DAMAGE. THE PROPOSED |
| | USE OF THE SPACE WITH LOW LIGHT LEVELS, STROBE LIGHTS, |
| | AND DISORIENTING SOUNDS, MAY CAUSE PATRONS TO IMPACT |
| | THE SHORING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE LATERAL MOVEMENT OF |
| | THE SHORING AND REMOVAL OF SUPPORT FOR THE WOODEN BEAM. |
| | ? FLAME RETARDANT TREATMENT OF CURTAINS. FLAME |
| | RETARDANT TREATMENT CERTIFICATE FOR THE CURTAIN FABRIC |
| | MUST BE PROVIDED TO SHOW THAT THE SPREAD OF FLAME WILL |
| | NOT POSE UNACCEPTABLE RISK TO OCCUPANTS AS THEY LEAVE |
| | THE BUILDING IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS THE SAME |
| | REQUIREMENT THAT APPLIES TO TENTS. |
| | ? PLYWOOD PANEL WALLS ATTACHMENT TO CEILING JOISTS. WE |
| | COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW THE 2X4S THAT SUPPORT THE |
| | PLYWOOD PANEL WALLS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CEILING JOISTS. |
| | WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE ONE OF THE WALLS BY PUSHING ON IT |
| | WITH VERY LITTLE FORCE. THE PROPOSED USE OF THE SPACE |
| | WITH LOW LIGHT LEVELS, STROBE LIGHTS, AND DISORIENTING |
| | SOUNDS, MAY CAUSE PATRONS TO IMPACT THE PLYWOOD WALL |
| | PANELS AND POTENTIALLY DETACH THEM FROM THE CEILING |
| | JOISTS AND CAUSE THE WALL PANELS TO FALL. ALSO, THE |
| | CEILING JOISTS WERE NOT INTENDED TO CARRY THE TORQUE |
| | (TWISTING) FORCE OF A 12 FOOT LONG LEVER WITH A PERSON |
| | RUNNING INTO IT. |
| | ? IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THE LIGHTING MUST TURN |
| | ON AND PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING LEVELS FOR SAFE |
| | EGRESS. THERE ARE ONLY TWO EXISTING FOUR FOOT |
| | FLORESCENT LIGHTING FIXTURES IN THE NORTH ROOM. THEY DO |
| | NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR THAT AREA. |
| | ? EACH EXIT SHALL BE MARKED BY ILLUMINATED EXIT SIGNS. |
| | THE EXIT LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT THIS TIME. SOME |
| | WERE JUST HANGING BY THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. |
| | ? STORED MATERIALS. THERE ARE SOME MATERIALS STORED IN |
| | THE SOUTH ROOM OF THE BUILDING THAT IS BLOCKING ONE OF |
| | THE EXITS AND EXIT PATHS. |
| | ? CONSTRUCTION SITE. THE BUILDING APPEARS TO BE A |
| | CONSTRUCTION SITE RATHER THAN A SHELL BUILDING READY |
| | FOR OCCUPANCY. |
| | ? PLAN REVIEW. PLEASE ADDRESS ALL PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS |
| | ENTERED UNDER PERMIT APPLICATION # 19101052. |
