| | 2020 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2020 WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, |
| | ADMINISTRATION |
| | 2020 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. |
| | 3RD REVIEW / NEW DESIGN TEAM |
| | DATE: TUES. AUGUST 24, 2021 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) COMPLIED |
| | |
| | 2A) (1) 3RD REVIEW, I SEE WHERE THE DESIGNER OF RECORD |
| | IS TRYING TO KEEP A OPEN MEZZANINE AS THE DESIGN |
| | PARAMETERS. THE CONCEPT OF THE OPEN MEZZANINE AND HOW |
| | THE AREAS WERE FIGURED IS MISLEADING. IN THE MEETING WE |
| | HAD I KEPT TRYING TO SHOW WHAT AREAS COULD BE USED IN |
| | ALLOWABLE FLOOR AREA, ALLOWABLE FLOOR AREA IS THAT AREA |
| | THAT ATMOSPHERICALLY COMMUNICATES. YOU USE THE FLOOR |
| | AREA ON THE 1ST FLOOR (GROUND FLOOR) WHICH THE DEMO |
| | SHEET SHOWS 1776.34 SQ. FT. THEN YOU DIVIDE THIS AREA |
| | BY 1/3 (2020 FBC-B 505.2.1) WHICH WILL GIVE YOU 592 SQ. |
| | FT. THE ALLOWABLE AREA FOR MEZZANINE. YOU ARE TAKING |
| | EXCEPTION # 2 FOR TYPE I, TYPE II CONSTRUCTION. THE |
| | 1776 SQ. FT. / 2 = 888 SQ. FT. ALLOWABLE AREA FOR |
| | MEZZANINES. THE EXISTING MEZZANINE 405 SQ. FT. + 1305.8 |
| | SQ. FT. NEW MEZZANINE = 1711 SQ. FT. (SHOWN ON THE D-1 |
| | SHEET) OVER THE ALLOWABLE AREA. THE OTHER ISSUE WITH |
| | EXCEPTION # 2 IS THAT THIS BUILDING TYPE IS DECLARED AS |
| | TYPE VB CONSTRUCTION SPRINKLERED. |
| | |
| | 2A)(2) PLEASE NOTE THE ATRIUM AREA IS THE ONLY WAY TO |
| | FIGURE THE 2ND STORY AREA OVER THE VETERINARY TENANT |
| | AREA. THE QUESTION IS WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE |
| | EXISTING MEZZANINE HOW WILL THIS AREA BE HANDLED WILL |
| | IT BE WALLED OFF TO THE ATRIUM OR A GLASS ENCLOSURE |
| | WITH A FIRE CURTAIN ON BOTH SIDES. 107.2.1.2 |
| | 2ND REVIEW, SAME COMMENT FOR THE NEW AREA OF THE 2ND |
| | STORY HOW THE NEW FLOOR AREA WILL BE SEPARATED FROM THE |
| | 2-STORY HIGH ATRIUM, ONE HOUR SEPARATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | SINCE THERE IS TO BE NEW 2ND STORY AREA, THIS AREA NOW |
| | NEEDS SEPARATION FROM THE 2-STORY ATRIUM AREA (1 HOUR |
| | RATED WALLS OR GLASS WALL WITH A WATER CURTAIN BOTH |
| | SIDES AND GASKETED GLAZING). SHEETS A-1 & S-1. WITH THE |
| | NEW PARTIAL 2ND FLOOR EXPANSION THERE LEAVES AN AREA |
| | OPEN TO THE 2ND STORY, THIS IS ONLY ALLOWED WHEN IT IS |
| | A MEZZANINE. THE AREA IN QUESTION IS OVER 1/3RD OF THE |
| | FLOOR AREA THAT WAS OPEN AREA. THE COVERSHEET INDICATES |
| | THAT THIS BUILDING IS FIRE SPRINKLERED. THE OPEN AREA |
| | THAT IS NOW AN OPEN 2 STORY AREA WILL NOW NEED TO MEET |
| | THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A ATRIUM. SEE SECTION 404.6 |
| | ENCLOSURES OF ATRIUMS AND EXCEPTIONS. |
| | |
| | 2B) NEW COMMENT. CAF?/ MERCANTILE. PLEASE REVIEW |
| | SECTION 301.1 & 301.2 OF THE 2020 FBC-BUILDING CODE ON |
| | HOW TO CLASSIFY THIS OCCUPANCY AND OCCUPANT LOADS. |
| | |
| | 2C) THE NEW FRONT DOOR # 2 INDICATES A SIDE APPROACH |
| | WHERE YOU HAVE SHOWN 48 INCHES OF WIDTH. THE 2020 |
| | FBC-ACCESS. CODE SEE FIGURE 404.2.4.1(I) REQUIRES A |
| | MINIMUM OF 54 INCHES IN WIDTH TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE |
| | TURN AND AN ADDITIONAL 24 INCHES FROM THE LATCH SIDE OF |
| | THE DOOR PARALLEL WITH THE DOOR. |
| | |
| | 2D) THERE IS A NEW COUNTER IN THE NEW CORRIDOR 6 FEET |
| | LONG AT 34 INCHES IN HEIGHT THE PLANS DO NOT INDICATE |
| | IF THIS IS A WALL HUNG COUNTER AND OR IF IT HAS LEGS, |
| | SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2020 ACCESSIBILITY CODE |
| | SECTION PROTRUDING OBJECTS 307.2 PROTRUSION LIMITS |
| | 307.2. OBJECTS WITH LEADING EDGES MORE THAN 27 INCHES |
| | AND NOT MORE THAN 80 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR SHALL NOT |
| | PROTRUDE MORE THAN 4 INCHES HORIZONTALLY INTO THE |
| | CIRCULATION PATH. |
| | |
| | 2E) THERE IS NO ACTUAL 2ND FLOOR PLAN FOR EGRESS, THE |
| | DEMO SHEET SHOWS A MEASUREMENT OF 70.7 FEET IN LENGTH = |
| | 11.1 FEET ACROSS THE MEZZANINE AND AN ADDITIONAL 19 |
| | FEET TO TWO MEANS OF EGRESS. PLEASE SHOW ON A LIFE |
