| | 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 |

| | 5TH REVIEW |
| | DATE: WED. MAY 18TH/2022 NEW FLOOR PLAN FOR THE 2ND |
| | FLOOR. |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2) LIFE SAFETY SHEET VS. A2: |
| | |
| | 2A-F) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2G) SEMI-COMPLIED, 5TH REVIEW. SHEET A5 DOES SHOW A |
| | INCLINE LIFT, BUT THE LIFT DOES NOT INDICATE 80 INCH |
| | CLEARANCE FOR A PERSON THAT MAY NEED A CANE OR WALKER |
| | FOR ACCESSIBILITY. AS DRAWN THE DETAIL DOES NOT HAVE |
| | THE REQUIRED 80 INCHES REQUIRED BY THE 2020 |
| | FBC-BUILDING CODE SECTION 1011.3. AS DRAWN THE 2ND |
| | FLOOR LEVEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PAGE IS IN THE |
| | REQUIRED VERTICAL 80 INCHES FROM THE TOP OF THE |
| | INCLINED LIFT TAKEN FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE LIFT, NOT |
| | THE LEADING EDGE. |
| | THE 2ND ISSUE IS TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO CUT SHEETS |
| | ON THE LIFT EITHER THE VERTICAL LIFT OR THE INCLINE |
| | LIFT. PLATFORM LIFTS SHALL COMPLY WITH ASME A18.1. |
| | PLEASE ALSO REFER TO THE ADVISORY410.1. 2020 |
| | FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE. |
| | THE THIRD ISSUE IS WITH NOT HAVING THE CUT SHEETS FOR |
| | THE INCLINE LIFT, THE LIFT AS SHOWN MAY REQUIRE THE |
| | INTERIOR STAIR TO BE WIDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCLINE |
| | LIFT. |
| | 4TH REQUEST. SHEETS A-2 & LIFE SAFETY SHEET FOR THE NEW |
| | CONSTRUCTION OF THE 2ND FLOOR TO ACHIEVE VERTICAL |
| | ACCESSIBILITY SHOW THE USE OF AN ADA STAIR LIFT WITHIN |
| | THE STAIRWELL FOR VERTICAL ACCESSIBILITY. PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE THE MANUFACTURERS TECHNICAL SHEETS FOR THE |
| | INCLINED PLATFORM LIFT, HOW IT WILL BE STORED WHEN NOT |
| | IN USE. BECAUSE ACCESSIBLE ROUTE (STAIRS) REQUIRES AN |
| | 80-INCH VERTICAL CLEARANCE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN |
| | SELECTING LIFTS AS THEY MAY NOT BE EQUALLY SUITABLE FOR |
| | USE BY PEOPLE USING WHEELCHAIRS AND STANDING. IF A LIFT |
| | DOES NOT PROVIDE 80 INCHES VERTICAL CLEARANCE, IT |
| | CANNOT BE CONSIDERED PART OF AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE IN NEW |
| | CONSTRUCTION. |
| | ONCE A INCLINED LIFT IS SELECTED FOR USE ON STAIRS, |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE A ELEVATION VIEW OF THE STAIRWAY WITH |
| | THE LIFT PARTWAY UP THE STAIRS, SHOWING A STANDING |
| | PERSON AND COMPLYING WITH SECTION 1011.3 HEADROOM |
| | STAIRWAYS SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM HEADROOM CLEARANCE OF |
| | NOT LESS THAN 80 INCHES MEASURED VERTICALLY FROM A LINE |
| | CONNECTING THE TOP OF THE INCLINED LIFT TO THE STAIR |
| | CEILING. |
| | |
| | 3RD ROUND OF COMMENTS. SHEET A2 MISSING THE VERTICAL |
| | ACCESSIBILITY TO THE FIRST FLOOR AND VERTICAL |
| | ACCESSIBILITY TO THE 2ND FLOOR. |
| | 2ND REQUEST. THE SP SHEET SHOWS THE LOCATION FOR LIFT. |
| | NO DETAILS FOR THE 2ND FLOOR. RESPONSE STATES SEE SHEET |
| | A-2 FOR LIFT TO 2ND FLOOR. NOT THERE, THE LULA LIFT |
| | SHOULD ALSO SHOW ON THE LIFE SAFETY PLAN. THE LIFE |
| | SAFETY PLAN HAS TO ISSUES AT LEAST WITH VERTICAL |
| | ACCESSIBILITY, THE 1ST IS VERTICAL ACCESSIBILITY TO THE |
| | NEW 2ND FLOOR, THE 2ND AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE, WHERE |
| | YOU DO NOT GO UP A RAMP FOR VEHICLES. THE 2020 EXISTING |
| | BUILDING CODE FOR ADDITIONS SEE SECTION 1105.1 IT |
| | REFERS YOU BACK TO THE ACCESSIBILITY CODE, NEW WORK |

| | EXISTING BUILDING AN ADDITION THAT AFFECTS THE |
