| | 7TH REVIEW |

| | FLOOR. |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) COMPLIED. |
| | |

| | |
| | 2A-F) COMPLIED. |
| | |
| | 2G) SEMI-COMPLIED, 7TH REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR A NEW SPEC |
| | SHEET FOR THE INCLINED STAIR LIFT. THE LIFE SAFETY |
| | FLOOR PLAN IT IS UNDERSTOOD 1ST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR |
| | LANDING LOCATIONS, THE ISSUE I SEE IS ON THE A-2 FLOOR |
| | PLAN, SECTION A/A-2. THIS SECTION IS POINTED FOR THE |
| | VIEW TOWARDS THE EXTERIOR WALL. WHAT IS MISSING IN THIS |
| | SECTION IS THE EXIT DOOR LEADING TO THE EXTERIOR. IT |
| | WOULD APPEAR THE GUIDE RAILS FOR THE LIFT WOULD BLOCK |
| | THE DOORWAY. IF THE GUARDRAIL WAS INSTALLED ON THE |
| | OPPOSITE SIDE IT APPEARS IT WOULD BLOCK THE UPPER |
| | LANDING. WE REALLY NEED THE MANUFACTURERS SHOP DRAWING |
| | SHOWING HOW NEITHER LANDING WOULD BE BLOCKED NOR THE |
| | EXIT. WHAT IS SUPPLIED IT APPEARS NOT TO BE CODE |
| | COMPLIANT. |
| | |
| | 6TH REVIEW. SHEET LS-1 IT APPEARS THE FIRST-FLOOR PLAN |
| | AND 1ST FLOOR STAIR LANDING IS MISSING, IT APPEARS THE |
| | 1ST FLOOR LANDING IS SHOWN ON THE 2ND FLOOR PLAN AND |
| | THE 2ND FLOOR LANDING PLAN IS SHOWN ON THE 1ST FLOOR |
| | PLAN. 107.2.1. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | THE 1ST FLOOR LANDING FOR THE INCLINED CHAIRLIFT AND |
| | DOOR SWING APPEAR TO OVERLAP THE CHAIRLIFT BASE IT |
| | WOULD APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 3-4 INCHES IN |
| | HEIGHT. DISCREPANCY. 107.2.1. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS |
| | SHALL BE SUFFICIENT CLARITY TO INDICATE THE LOCATION, |
| | NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE WORK PROPOSED AND SHOW IN |
| | DETAIL THAT IT WILL CONFORM TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS |
| | CODE AND RELEVANT LAWS, ORDINANCES, RULES AND |
| | REGULATIONS, AS DETERMINED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. |
| | THE NEW VERTICAL 2ND FLOOR ADDITION CAN NOT CREATE A |
| | NON-CONFORMITY. 2020 EXISTING BUILDING CODE 1101.2. ALL |
| | NEW CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS, SYSTEMS, AND |
| | SPACES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING. CREATION OR EXTENSION |
| | OF NONCONFORMITY. ALL NEW WORK, RE-CONFIGURATION SHALL |
| | NOT CREATE OR EXTEND ANY NONCONFORMITY IN THE EXISTING |
| | BUILDING TO WHICH THE RE-CONFIGURATION OF SPACE IS |
| | BEING MADE REGARDING ACCESSIBILITY, FIRE SAFETY, & |
| | MEANS OF EGRESS SEE 2020 FBC-BUILDING SECTION 1011.3. |
| | THE LIFT DOES NOT INDICATE 80-INCH CLEARANCE FOR A |
| | PERSON THAT MAY NEED A CANE, CROTCHES 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. PLEASE |
| | ALSO REFER TO THE ADVISORY 410.1. 2020 |
| | FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE ALSO |
| | REQUIRES 80 INCHES CLEAR HEIGHT. 2020 FBC-ACCESS. CODE |
| | SECTION 307.4 VERTICAL CLEARANCE SHALL BE 80 INCHES |
| | HIGH MINIMUM. DEFINITIONS: ACCESSIBLE MEANS OF EGRESS. |
| | A CONTINUOUS AND UNOBSTRUCTED WAY OF EGRESS TRAVEL FROM |
| | ANY POINT IN A BUILDING OF FACILITY THAT PROVIDES AN |
| | ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO AN AREA OF REFUGE, A HORIZONTAL |
| | EXIT OR A PUBLIC WAY. |
| | 5TH REVIEW. SHEET A2 DOES SHOW AN INCLINE LIFT, BUT THE |
| | LIFT DOES NOT INDICATE 80-INCH CLEARANCE FOR A PERSON |
| | THAT MAY NEED A CANE, CROTCHES 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 ADVISORY 410.1. 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. |

| | 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 |
| | MUST COMPLY WITH THE ACCESSIBILITY CODE AND FOR |
| | EXISTING BUILDING AN ADDITION THAT AFFECTS THE |
