| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | |
| | RESULTS: DENIED |
| | ADDRESS THE ATTACHED COMMENTS AND RE-SUBMIT |
| | |
| | 1. GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW ARE |
| | FOR A 2016 MODEL GENERAC 22KW GENERATOR. |
| | PROVIDE CURRENT GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS. |
| | 107.2 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS |
| | SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS107.2.1 THROUGH |
| | 107.2.5. |
| | |
| | 2. DESIGN PRESSURES CALCULATED ON GENERATOR PAD |
| | ENGINEERING (53.19) ARE NOT REALISTIC FOR THIS SITE AND |
| | WOULD NOT ALLOW THE PROPOSED GENERATOTR PAD WITH A |
| | MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DESIGN PRESSURE OF (47.44) TO BE |
| | ALLOWED. |
| | MY ESTIMATED DESIGN PRESSURES FOR THIS SITE WOULD BE |
| | BASED ON VULT OF 170MPH AND VASD OF 138MPH WITH A RISK |
| | CAT. II AND EXPOSURE C PROVIDING A DESIGN PRESSURE OF |
| | 39.09 FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE |
| | PROPOSED GENERATOR PAD TO BE USED. |
| | PLEASE HAVE YOUR DESIGNER RE-VISIT THESE CALCULATIONS |
| | FOR THE GENERATOR PAD. |
| | R301.2.1 WIND DESIGN CRITERIA. |
| | BUILDINGS AND PORTIONS THEREOF SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED IN |

| | FROM FIGURE R301.2(4). |
