| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) [THESE BUILDING ARE CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC |
| | STRUCTURES. THE ARCHITECT'S RESPONSE STATES THAT THIS |
| | PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM FLOOD REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE IT IS |
| | HISTORIC. IF YOU WISH TO PURSUE THIS OPTION YOU WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR A VARIANCE. CITY ORDINANCE NO. |
| | 4729-17 SEC.18-286 REQUIRES A VARIANCE FROM THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS IN ORDER |
| | TO DETERMINE THAT THE REPAIR, IMPROVEMENT OR |
| | REHABILITATION OF A HISTORIC BUILDING IS ELIGIBLE FOR |
| | THE EXCEPTION TO THE FLOOD RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, EXISTING |
| | BUILDING, CHAPTER 12. |
| | 1201.3 FLOOD HAZARD AREAS. |
| | IN FLOOD HAZARD AREAS, IF ALL PROPOSED WORK, INCLUDING |
| | REPAIRS, WORK REQUIRED BECAUSE OF A CHANGE OF |
| | OCCUPANCY, AND ALTERATIONS, CONSTITUTES SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT, THEN THE BUILDING SHALL COMPLY WITH |
| | SECTION 1612 OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING, OR |
| | SECTION R322 OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, RESIDENTIAL, |
| | AS APPLICABLE. |
| | EXCEPTION: IF THE PROGRAM THAT DESIGNATED THE BUILDING |
| | AS HISTORIC DETERMINES THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN |
| | HISTORIC BUILDING AFTER THE PROPOSED WORK IS COMPLETED, |
| | THEN THE PROPOSED WORK IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE |
| | SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS |
| | EXCEPTION, AN HISTORIC BUILDING IS: |
| | 1.INDIVIDUALLY LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF |
| | HISTORIC PLACES; OR |
| | 2.A CONTRIBUTING RESOURCE WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER OF |
| | HISTORIC PLACES LISTED DISTRICT; OR |
| | 3.DESIGNATED AS HISTORIC PROPERTY UNDER AN OFFICIAL |
| | MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, SPECIAL DISTRICT OR STATE |
| | DESIGNATION, LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION EITHER |
| | INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A CONTRIBUTING PROPERTY IN A |
| | DISTRICT, PROVIDED THE LOCAL PROGRAM MAKING THE |
| | DESIGNATION IS APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE |
| | INTERIOR (THE FLORIDA STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION |
| | OFFICER MAINTAINS A LIST OF APPROVED LOCAL PROGRAMS); |
| | OR |
| | 4.DETERMINED ELIGIBLE BY THE FLORIDA STATE HISTORIC |
| | PRESERVATION OFFICER FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL |
| | REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR AS |
| | A CONTRIBUTING PROPERTY IN A DISTRICT.] |
| | |
| | (PREVIOUS COMMENT.) A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS |
| | LOCATED IN A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA. THE FLOOD MAPS |
| | INDICATE THIS AS AN "AE" FLOOD ZONE WITH A 6' BFE. IF |
| | THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT THE STRUCTURE WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY OF |
| | WEST PALM BEACH'S FLOOD ORDINANCE. A SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT IS ANY IMPROVEMENTS OR REPAIRS TO A |
| | BUILDING OR STRUCTURE FOR WHICH THE CUMULATIVE COST IN |
| | ANY FIVE YEAR PERIOD EQUALS OR EXCEEDS 50 PERCENT OF |
| | THE MARKET VALUE OF THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE AT THE |
| | END OF THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD AND BEFORE THE IMPROVEMENTS |
| | OR REPAIRS ARE STARTED. THE PROPERTY HAS THE |
| | IMPROVEMENT VALUE AS $706,079.00. FIFTY PERCENT OF THIS |
| | IS $393,039.50. THE CUMULATIVE TOTAL FOR WORK OVER THE |
| | PAST FIVE YEARS IS $114,296.00 AND THE VALUE SPECIFIED |
| | FOR THE PROPOSED WORK IS $100,000.00 WHICH TOTALS |
| | $214,296.00 WHICH IS LESS THAN THE FIFTY PERCENT |
| | NUMBER. HOWEVER, I SEE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A |
| | CONTRACTOR AT THIS TIME AND I WILL NEED A FIRM NUMBER |
| | FOR THE COST OF THE PROPOSED WORK BEFORE I CAN APPROVE |
| | THE PROJECT. |
| | |
| | 2) [PRODUCT APPROVALS WILL BE DEFERRED. THE PRODUCT |
| | APPROVALS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY |
| | THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED.] |
| | (PREVIOUS COMMENT) SUBMIT PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR THE |
| | TRANSOM WINDOWS AND FRENCH DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN |
| | APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE DESIGNER OF RECORD. FBC |
| | AMEND. 107.3.4 - PROVIDE TWO SETS OF PRODUCT APPROVALS |
| | FOR THOSE PRODUCTS WHICH ARE REGULATED BY FAC |
| | 61G20-3.001 PER FLORIDA STATUTE 553.842 (5) THAT HAVE |
| | BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE DESIGNER |
| | OF RECORD. PROVIDE TWO COMPLETE PRODUCT APPROVALS WITH |
| | FL OR NOA NUMBERS INCLUDING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| | AND MAXIMUM DESIGN PRESSURES FOR EACH OF THE DIFFERENT |
| | ROOFING MATERIALS, WINDOW (GLASS TYPES), STRUCTURAL |
| | MULLIONS AND EXTERIOR DOOR TYPES. THESE ITEMS CAN BE |
| | DEFERRED IF REQUESTED, HOWEVER, THE DOCUMENTS MUST BE |
| | SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT |
| | BEFORE THEY CAN BE INSTALLED. ONLY ONE SET IS REQUIRED |
| | TO BE UPLOADED FOR ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS. |
| | |
| | 3) (PREVIOUS COMMENT) THE PLANS INDICATE THAT THE |
| | EXISTING GARAGE DOOR IS BEING REPLACED WITH FRENCH |
| | DOORS. IT APPEARS THAT THE EXISTING GARAGE IS BEING |
| | CONVERTED INTO AN AIR-CONDITIONED WORK SHOP. THIS WILL |
| | NEED TO BE REVIEWED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR IMPACT |
| | FEES. |
| | |
| | 4) (NEW COMMENT). FENCES AND GATES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE |
| | A SEPARATE PERMIT. |
