| | 1. THIS REVIEW IS A CURSORY REVIEW AS IT RELATES TO THE |
| | SITE. IT IS NOT A REVIEW FOR FULL COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE TO BE |
| | ADDRESSED FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION. |
| | |
| | 2. LOCATION OF ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES. SITE PLAN |
| | SHEET C7 SHOWS REGULAR PARKING SPACES LOCATED CLOSER TO |
| | THE BUILDING ENTRANCE THAN THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING |
| | SPACES. THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES SHALL BE |
| | RELOCATED SO THAT THEY ARE THE CLOSEST PARKING SPACES |
| | TO THE BUILDING ENTRANCE. PER SECTION 208.3 OF FLORIDA |
| | ACCESSIBILITY CODE, ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES ARE TO BE |
| | LOCATED ON THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE ROUTE OF TRAVEL FROM |
| | ADJACENT PARKING TO AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE FOR EACH |
| | BUILDING. THE RESPONSE LETTER DATED 7/2/18 FROM ZACH |
| | THORNTON, P.E., IS NOTED. THANK YOU. THE FAILED STATUS |
| | OF THIS REVIEW WILL BE CHANGED TO "PASS" UPON RECEIPT |
| | AND REVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING LETTER. PLEASE PROVIDE A |
| | SEPARATE LETTER, EXPLAINING CONSIDERATION OF THE RAISED |
| | ACCESS AISLE OPTION AND THE CONCERNS ABOUT WHEEL STOPS |
| | AT THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES BEING A TRIP HAZARD, |
| | SO THAT THE LETTER CAN BE REVIEWED NOW FOR INCLUSION IN |
| | THE RECORD WHEN THE PLANS ARE SUBMITTED FOR PERMIT. THE |
| | LETTER WILL BE KEPT IN THE PERMIT RECORDS IN CASE ANY |
| | ADA COMPLAINTS ARE FILED AND PERMIT RECORDS REQUESTED. |
| | THERE IS NO NEED TO INCLUDE THE OTHER POINTS IN THE |
| | SUBMITTED COMMENT RESPONSE LETTER BECAUSE ADA SIGNAGE |
| | COULD HAVE BEEN MOUNTED ON THE BUILDING AT THE REQUIRED |
| | HEIGHT INSTEAD OF USING POLES, LOSS OF A PARKING SPACE |
| | IS NOT JUSTIFICATION FOR NOR MEETING ACCESSIBILITY |
| | REQUIREMENTS, AND COMPARISON OF THIS PARKING LOT TO "A |
| | LARGE SHOPPING CENTER", ESPECIALLY WITHOUT CITING A |
| | SPECIFIC LOCATION RECENTLY INSTALLED WEST PALM BEACH, |
| | IS NOT RELEVANT. "A LARGE SHOPPING CENTER" HAS MULTIPLE |
| | BUILDING ENTRANCES WITH MULTIPLE ACCESSIBLE ROUTES, SO |
| | THERE IS MORE FLEXIBILITY AND ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION |
| | IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF ACCESSIBLE PARKING. THE CHASE |
| | BANK PROJECT HAS ONLY ONE ENTRANCE FACING THE PARKING |
| | LOT. |
| | |
| | 3. SEPARATE PERMITS REQUIRED. ALL APPLICABLE PERMITS |
| | AND SUB-PERMITS MUST BE OBTAINED BEFORE COMMENCING THE |
| | WORK. SEPARATE PERMITS, PLANS AND FEES, ARE REQUIRED |
| | FOR SIGNS, GAS SYSTEMS, GENERATORS, FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS, |
| | FIRE SPRINKLER AND OTHER FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS, |
| | GREASE INTERCEPTORS, SITE LIGHTING, SITE LANDSCAPE, |
| | SITE IRRIGATION, ETC. |
