| | SUBMITTAL #21041684 |
| | |
| | ORIGINAL COMMENT: |
| | 1- PROVIDE PHOTOS SHOWING THE VENTS SPECIFIED ON ITEM |
| | A9(B). |
| | NOTE: COORDINATE WITH VENTS SHOWN ON SHEET A.2.1 AND |
| | DETAILS 4 AND 8 ON SHEET A-8.1.1. THERE IS A VENT |
| | INSIDE THE GARAGE CONNECTING TO THE OUTSIDE WALL. THE |
| | OTHER VENT CONSIDERED BY THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD IS THE |
| | ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE. SHOW ALL VENTS. SEE ITEM A6 |
| | FEMA ELEVATION CERTIFICATE INSTRUCTIONS. |
| | ALSO, ALL PHOTOS NEED TO BE AT LEAST 3"X3". REVISE |
| | PHOTO THREE ON PAGE 6 OF 6. |
| | |
| | SEE ARCHITECT'S REVISION #8 ON PLANS AND REVISION |
| | #19110684 CITY RECORDS. |
| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | BOTH FLOOD VENTS SHOWN ON PAGE 7 PHOTOS ARE BIGGER THAN |
| | THE WALL OPENING. THEY DON'T MATCH THE ARCHITECT OF |
| | RECORD DESIGN SHOWN ON SHEET SHEET A.2.1 AND DETAILS 4 |
| | AND 8 ON SHEET A-8.1.1. |
| | SINCE THERE ARE NO DIMENSIONS ON THE PHOTOS , THERE IS |
| | NOT WAY OF DETERMINING IF THE WALL OPENING AND THE |
| | FLOOD VENT ARE THE SAME AS THE ONES SPECIFIED BY THE |
| | ARCHITECT OF RECORD. |
| | PROVIDE WALL OPENING AND VENTS DIMENSIONS TO VERIFY |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH ARCHITECT'S DESIGN. THIS IS IMPORTANT |
| | BECAUSE THESE VENTS WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM |
| | OF 913 SQ. IN. CLEAR OPENING VENT. SEE ARCHITECT'S |
| | DETAILS. |
| | |
| | NOTE: |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THE APPROVED PLANS, THEN |
| | THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD BY |
| | REVISING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS SHOWING COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH SEC. 1612.4 FBC-BUILDING. |
| | NOTE:THERE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-ENGINEERED |
| | VENTS. SEE SEC. 2.7.2.1 ASCE 24. |
| | |
| | |
| | ORIGINAL COMMENT: |
| | 2- ITEM A9(C) WAS REVISED. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE NET |
| | AREA OF FLOOD OPENINGS. AREA SHOWN IS WAY TOO HIGH |
| | COMPARED TO THE ONE SPECIFIED BY THE ARCHITECT OF |
| | RECORD ON SHEET SHEET A.2.1 AND DETAILS 4 AND 8 ON |
| | SHEET A-8.1.1. PLEASE COORDINATE WITH ARCHITECT AND |
| | REVISE AS REQUIRED. ONLY THE AREA BELOW THE DESIGN |
| | FLOOD ELEVATION COUNTS. ALSO, NEED TO SPECIFY THE |
| | ACTUAL NET AREA (EXCLUDING VENT FRAME)OF THE INSTALLED |
| | VENTS. |
| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | BASED ON THE REVISED NET AREA, IT LOOKS LIKE THE NET |
| | AREA DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE NET AREA SPECIFIED BY THE |
| | ARCHITECT OF RECORD ON FLOOD VENT CALCULATIONS ON SHEET |
| | A-2.1. |
| | THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. COORDINATE WITH ITEM #1 |
| | ABOVE. |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THE APPROVED PLANS, THEN |
| | THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD BY |
| | REVISING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS SHOWING COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH SEC. 1612.4 FBC-BUILDING. |
| | |
| | NOTE: |
| | THE TOTAL NET OPEN AREA SHALL BE A T LEAST 1 SQ. IN. |
| | FOR EACH SQ. FT. OF ENCLOSED AREA. SEE ASCE 24-14 SEC. |
| | 2.7.2.1. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENT BASED ON REVISED SURVEY: |
| | 3- OLD SURVEY SHOWED A GRADE ELEVATION OF 11.4 ON THE |
| | SOUTH SIDE EXTERIOR WALL NEAR THE LOCATION OF THE |
| | EXTERIOR FLOOD VENT. THIS WAS OK BECAUSE IT SHOWED THAT |
| | THE FINISH GRADE WAS A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THE |
| | INTERIOR OF THE GARAGE. THE CONCERN NOW IS THAT REVISED |
| | SURVEY SHOWS GRADE ELEVATIONS OF 14.9 AND 15.0 BY THE |
| | SAME AREA. THESE ELEVATIONS ARE HIGHER THAN THE |
| | INTERIOR OF THE GARAGE. THEREFORE, THE FLOOD VENTS SEEM |
| | TO BE BLOCKED BY THE EXTERIOR GRADE. |
| | PLEASE, CLARIFY THIS AND REVISE SURVEY AS REQUIRED TO |
| | SHOW HOW THE FLOOD VENTS ARE GOING TO WORK. |
| | |
| | 4- ARCHITECT OF RECORD TO REVIEW AND APPROVE IN WRITING |
| | PROPOSED GRADING OUTSIDE THE FLOOD VENT AREA TO VERIFY |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH HIS/HER FLOOD PROOFING DESIGN. |
| | SEC. 107.3.4.1 CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE |
| | ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF |
| | THE REVISION MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR |
| | SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL |
| | HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR |
| | ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
