| | REVIEW UNDER 2004 FBC . |
| | |
| | 1- BUILDING REVISION CALLS FOR SHUTTER PROTECTION ON |
| | WINDOWS. THIS TYPE OF BUILDING REQUIRES SHUTTERS |
| | INSTALLATION APPROVAL PLAN TO BE APPROVED BY THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL. FOR PUBLIC SAFETY REASONS INDICATE |
| | HOW ARE REMOVABLE SHUTTERS GOING TO BE INSTALLED ON THE |
| | WINDOWS OF THIS MULTISTORY BUILDING BY THE APARTMENT |
| | OWNER IN THE EVENT OF A HURRICANE. |
| | |
| | 2- DESIGN PRESSURES INDICATED IN THE CITY OF WEST PALM |
| | BEACH INSTALLATION SCHEDULE ARE ASSUMING THAT BUILDING |
| | IS DESIGNED AS ENCLOSED BUILDING. FURTHER RESEARCH |
| | NEEDS TO BE DONE. FOR SOME REASON OPENINGS HAVE NOT |
| | IMPACT GLAZING AND THERE ARE NOT EXISTING SHUTTERS. |
| | BUILDING CAN'T BE DESIGNED AS ENCLOSED IF THE OPENINGS |
| | ARE NOT PROTECTED. THEREFORE, NEED TO USE THE PARTIALLY |
| | ENCLOSED BUILDING DESIGN PRESSURES. |
| | ***NOTE: THIS ISSUE WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL ATTENTION FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. |
| | |
| | 2- FLORIDA PRODUCT APPROVAL FL8363-R1 SUBMITTED IS FOR |
| | 2007 CODE VERSION. CURRENT CODE VERSION IS 2004. NEED |

| | NOT REQUIRED OUTSIDE HVHZ. AS MENTIONED ON PREVIOUS |
| | COMMENT THIS PRODUCT APPROVAL ONLY APPLIES TO 2007 CODE |
| | VERSION. THERE IS ANOTHER PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR 2004 |
| | CODE VERSION WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROVISION. |
| | THEREFORE MUST FOLLOW DEFLECTION REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 4- INSTALLATION SCHEDULE AND ANCHOR SCHEDULE |
| | HIGHLIGHTED ON PAGE 15 INDICATE THAT THE SUBSTRATE TO |
| | RECEIVE THE SHUTTERS IS 3000 PSI CONCRETE. SHUTTERS ARE |
