| | A RESPONSE NARRATIVE TO THE 1ST REVIEW COMMENTS WAS NOT |
| | PROVIDED AS REQUESTED. THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR PLUMBING |
| | HAS NOT BEEN CLARIFIED. |
| | |

| | EXISTING ?SHOWER? IS TO BE REMOVED. THE NOTE UNDER |
| | PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN INDICATES NEW FLOOR TILE AND BASE |
| | IN ?TUB/SHOWER?. HOW IS NEW FLOOR TILE TO BE INSTALLED |

| | |
| | 3) A1.0: REFER TO FIGURES 4, 5, THAT ARE SHOWN IN THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBLITY GUIDELINES SECTION |
| | (REQUIREMENT 7) OF THE FBC-17 ACCESSIBILITY CODE. BASED |
| | ON THE FIGURES PLEASE PROVIDE DIMENSIONED ELEVATION |
| | VIEWS INDICATING WHERE GRAB BAR BACKING WILL BE LOCATED |
| | IN THE NEW TUB/SHOWER OR SHOWER WHICHEVER IS BEING |
| | INSTALLED. PLEASE FIGURES 7B & 7D FOR CLEAR FLOOR SPACE |
| | DIAGRAMS AND DIMENSIONS. |
| | |
| | 4) PROVIDE A SHOWER PAN DETAIL IF APPLICABLE TO THE |
| | PROJECT- SECTION 417.5.2 FBC P. |
| | |
| | 5) FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES: BECAUSE THE |
| | BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND |
| | THE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR USABLE BATHROOMS IN DWELLING |
| | UNITS, THE ALTERATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE |
| | BATHROOMS SHALL ALSO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING ACT. THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES |
| | ARE INCLUDED IN THE FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE- 2017 |
| | SIXTH EDITION. COMPLIANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES REQUIRES |
| | THAT CLEAR FLOOR SPACES FOR WHEELCHAIR APPROACHES TO |
| | BATH FIXTURES SHALL EITHER BE MAINTAINED AS ORIGINALLY |
| | DESIGNED OR PROVIDED WHERE NEW FIXTURES ARE BEING |
| | INSTALLED. THE PLAN IS INDICATING AN ALTERATION TO THE |
| | EXISTING BATHING FIXTURE. BASED ON THE DRAWING IT IS |
| | NOT CLEAR IF USABLE BATHROOM TYPE A OR B WAS CHOSEN AS |
| | THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE DESIGNER OF RECORD MUST |
| | INDICATE WHICH TYPE DESIGN WAS USED ON THE PLAN, AND |
| | THEN PROVIDE ENLARGED DIMENSIONED DRAWINGS OF THE |
| | BATHROOMS WITH CLEAR FLOOR SPACE DIAGRAMS CONFIGURED |
| | FOR THE NEW AND REPLACED FIXTURES. PLEASE SEE |
| | REQUIREMENT 7 CONTAINED IN THE GUIDELINES AND FIGURES |
| | 4, 5, AND FIGURES 7A, 7C, & 7D FOR GUIDANCE. CONCERNING |
| | THE SHOWER GRAB BAR AND WALL HUNG BENCH SEAT |
| | REINFORCEMENTS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN THE SHOWER WALLS |
| | TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE INSTALLATIONS. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | DIMENSIONED ELEVATION VIEWS SHOWING THE LOCATIONS OF |
| | THE WALL REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1A) AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEETING THE GUIDELINES FOR THE |
| | BATH ALTERATIONS, THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR |
| | THE PROPOSED PROJECT MAY PROVIDE A SIGNED AND NOTARIZED |
| | AFFIDAVIT WHICH WOULD INDICATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE |
| | PROPOSED DESIGN DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES, BUT WILL ALSO |
| | REQUIRE THE OWNER TO AGREE TO REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO |
| | COMPLIANCE AT TIME OF SALE IF SO REQUESTED BY THE |
| | BUYER. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL |
| | TO [email protected] AND I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING AFFIDAVIT. IF CHOOSING THIS OPTION IT WOULD BE |
| | ADVISABLE AT A MINIMUM TO INSTALL THE SHOWER WALL |
| | REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. AFTER REVIEWING THE COMMENTS AND |
| | FURTHER CLARIFICATION IS NEEDED, PLEASE CONTACT ME |
