| | 2017 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2017 WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, |
| | ADMINISTRATION |
| | |
| | 2017 EXISTING BUILDING CODE. 801.3 COMPLIANCE. ALL NEW |
| | CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND SPACES |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLORIDA |
| | BUILDING CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) THE LIFE SAFETY SHEET: |
| | 1A) UNDER THE HEADING CODE DATA THE CONSTRUCTION TYPE |
| | IS LISTED AS TYPE IB. WITH THAT CONSTRUCTION TYPE IN |
| | THE 2017 FBC-B TABLE 601 REQUIRES THE EXTERIOR WALLS TO |
| | BE 2 HR. FIRE RATED AND THE ROOF CONSTRUCTION AND |
| | ASSOCIATES SECONDARY MEMBERS AND DECK TO BE 1-HOUR FIRE |
| | RATED, HOW IS THIS ACCOMPLISHED? SHEET A5.01 DETAIL 5 |
| | SHOWS WOOD TRUSSES AND SHEATHING. DID YOU MEAN |
| | CONSTRUCTION TYPE III-B? |
| | 1B) THE PROPOSED OCCUPANCY LOAD GIVES THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | FACTORS OF 60 FOR MERCANTILE AND 300 FOR STORAGE BUT |
| | THE PLANS ARE SILENT TO THE OVERALL ALL SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | OF THE BUILDING AND THE SQ. FT. FOR THE MERCANTILE AND |
| | S1 OCCUPANCY. PLEASE PROVIDE THE MISSING INFORMATION TO |
| | BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE OCCUPANT LOAD FOR THE |
| | MIXED-USE BUILDING. FBC-B TABLE 1004.1.2. |
| | 1C)(1) THE 2017 FBC-B TABLE 508.4 SHOWS NO REQUIREMENT |
| | FOR OCCUPANCY SEPARATION BETWEEN MERCANTILE AND S1 |
| | OCCUPANCY TYPES. PLEASE NOTE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT |
| | REQUIREMENTS WHICH APPEAR TO BE MORE RESTRICTIVE. WHEN |
| | THE 2 CODES DO NOT AGREE THE MOST RESTRICTIVE OF THE |
| | CODES IS REQUIRED TO BE FOLLOWED. |
| | 1C)(2) I BELIEVE THIS IS A FISH MARKET AND THE BACK |
| | HALF OF THE BUILDING IS A FISH PROCESSING PORTION( SEE |
| | 306.2 F-1 FOOD PROCESSING ESTABLISHMENTS NOT PART OF A |
| | RESTAURANT) OF THE BUILDING. WITH THIS BEING SAID, |
| | TABLE 508.4 STILL DOES NOT SHOW A REQUIRED OCCUPANCY |
| | SEPARATION. |
| | 1D)(1) DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THE OCCUPANCY TYPE |
| | FOR THE REAR PORTION OF THE BUILDING IF THE REAR |
| | PORTION IS DECLARED STORAGE PLEASE REVIEW THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR EGRESS THROUGH INTERVENING SPACES FOR |
| | A MERCANTILE OCCUPANCY AND REAR STORAGE ROOM. SEE 2017 |
| | FBC-B 1016.25( 2.1-2.4). |
| | 1D)(1) THE OTHER REAR OCCUPANCY IF DECLARED A F1 |
| | OCCUPANCY BECAUSE OF THE SINKS AND FOOD PREPARATION, NO |
| | RATED WALLS BETWEEN OCCUPANCY TYPE A VESTIBULE BEING |
| | BUILT TO GO OUT THE SIDE EXIT, THAT COULD BE USED FROM |
| | EITHER OCCUPANCY TYPE. |
| | 1E) THE OTHER ISSUE WITH EXITING IS THE EXIT SIGNS |
| | WITHIN HALLWAY 101. THEY APPEAR TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE |
| | OF THE DOOR (IN THE MERCANTILE & F1/ S1 SIDE OF THE |
| | DOOR AS A AN DIRECTIONAL SIGN) AND THERE SHOULD BE AN |
| | EXIT SIGN AT THE TRUE EXIT TO THE EXTERIOR. 2017 FBC-B |
| | 1013.1 WHERE REQUIRED. |
| | 2) SHEET A2.01 THE EXTERIOR ELEVATION SHEET SHOWS NEW |
| | EXTERIOR WINDOWS AND DOORS. NO ARCHITECTURAL SHEET |
| | PROVIDES THE WIND DESIGN CRITERIA? PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2017 FBC-B 1603.1.4 WIND DESIGN |
| | DATA. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RELATED TO WIND LOADS |

| | 3 INDICATES NEW PROPOSED WINDOWS. ADD TO DEFERRED |
| | SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE OR SUBMIT PRODUCT APPROVALS. |
