| | FBC = FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, 6TH EDITION (2017) |
| | FBC B = FBC BUILDING |
| | FBC R = FBC RESIDENTIAL |
| | FBC EB = FBC EXISTING BUILDING |
| | FBC A = FBC ACCESSIBILITY |
| | FBC EC = FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION |
| | |
| | THE FOUNDATION PERMIT HAS BEEN DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING |
| | REASONS. |
| | |
| | 1) THE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT THE BUILDING HAS NOT BEEN |
| | APPLIED FOR AT THIS TIME. TYPICALLY THE PERMIT TO |
| | CONSTRUCT THE BUILDING HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR AND THE |
| | PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION HAVE REVIEWED BEFORE A PERMIT |
| | FOR A FOUNDATION ONLY PERMIT IS APPLIED FOR. UNLESS THE |
| | PLANS FOR THE BUILDING HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED, |
| | THE FOUNDATION ONLY PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED AS A PROCEED |
| | AT YOUR ON RISK PERMIT. FBC 107.3.3 PHASED APPROVAL. |
| | (SEE ALSO SECTION 105.13.) THE BUILDING OFFICIAL IS |
| | AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE A PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF |
| | FOUNDATIONS OR ANY OTHER PART OF A BUILDING OR |
| | STRUCTURE BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE |
| | WHOLE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, |
| | PROVIDED THAT ADEQUATE INFORMATION AND DETAILED |
| | STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN FILED COMPLYING WITH PERTINENT |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CODE. THE HOLDER OF SUCH PERMIT |
| | FOR THE FOUNDATION OR OTHER PARTS OF A BUILDING OR |
| | STRUCTURE SHALL PROCEED AT THE HOLDER'S OWN RISK |
| | WITH THE BUILDING OPERATION AND WITHOUT ASSURANCE THAT |
| | A PERMIT FOR THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE WILL BE GRANTED. THIS |
| | PROVISION ONLY APPLIES TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE; |
| | ALL OTHER AGENCY |
| | APPROVALS NECESSARY FOR CONSTRUCTION MUST BE SECURED |
| | PRIOR TO THIS PROVISION BEING APPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2)A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN AN AE FLOOD |
| | ZONE WHICH IS A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA. IT APPEARS |
| | THAT THE BUILDING AND THE EQUIPMENT SERVICING IT ARE |
| | NOT LOCATED IN THE AE FLOOD ZONE. IT APPEARS THAT SHEET |
| | C5.00 HAS THE X AND X500 FLOOD ZONES REVERSED. FROM |
| | EAST TO WEST THE FLOOD ZONES ARE AE, X500 AND X. PLEASE |
| | CORRECT. |
| | |
| | 3) ON SHEET 00.200 UNDER BUILDING TYPE THAT REFERENCES |
| | THE 2010 FBC AND THIS PROJECT FALLS UNDER THE 2017 FBC. |
| | |
| | 4) THIS PROJECT EXPANDS OVER MULTIPLE LOTS OR PARCELS |
| | OF LAND. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO PERMIT |
| | ISSUANCE. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 5) AN MOT PLAN IS REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BEFORE PERMIT |
| | ISSUANCE. IN ADDITION TO TRAFFIC CONTROL, THE PLAN |
| | SHOULD INCLUDE LOCATION OF STAGING AREAS, CONSTRUCTION |
| | TRAILER LOCATIONS, EMPLOYEE PARKING DURING |
| | CONSTRUCTION, EMERGENCY FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS, SITE |
| | FENCING (SAFEGUARDS DURING CONSTRUCTION), HOURS OF |
| | WORK, ETC. FBC 107 |
