| | PLANS. PLEASE PROVIDE A FINISHED, DIMENSIONED PLUMBING |
| | FLOOR PLAN SHOWING THE NEW BATHROOM LAYOUTS AND |
| | FIXTURES- SECTION 107.2.1 WPB. PLEASE INCLUDE THE NEW |
| | SHOWER DIMENSIONS IN BATH 2. |
| | |
| | 2) WHERE DRAINS ARE BEING RELOCATED PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | SANITARY RISER DRAWINGS- SECTION 107.3.5.3 WPB. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE NOTES FOR RELOCATED DRAINS LISTED |
| | BELOW: |
| | |
| | A) THE HORIZONTAL DISTANCES FROM THE CENTERLINES OF THE |
| | DRAIN OUTLETS FOR THE MASTER TUB AND THE BATH 2 SHOWER |
| | TO THE CENTERLINES OF THE EXISTING TRAPS WILL NOT |
| | EXCEED 30 INCHES- SECTION 1002.1 FBC P. |
| | |
| | B) RELOCATING THE DRAIN OUTLETS WILL REQUIRE THE FLOOR |
| | TO BE X-RAYED TO IN ORDER TO LOCATE REINFORCING STEEL |
| | OR POST STRESSED FLOOR TENDONS. PLEASE PLACE A NOTE ON |
| | THE PLANS TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WILL BE MET- SECTION |
| | 107.2.1 WPB. |
| | |
| | C) NEW DRAIN PIPE PENETRATIONS OF THE EXISTING SLAB |
| | WILL REQUIRE FIRESTOPPING TO SEAL THE ANNULAR SPACE |
| | AROUND THE PIPING. PROVIDE A UL TESTED AND APPROVED |
| | FIRESTOPPING ASSEMBLY DETAIL ON THE PLAN- SECTION |
| | 714.4.1.2 FBC P. |
| | |
| | 3) FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES: BECAUSE THE |
| | BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND |
| | THE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR USABLE BATHROOMS IN DWELLING |
| | UNITS, THE ALTERATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE |
| | BATHROOMS SHALL ALSO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING ACT. THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES |
| | ARE INCLUDED IN THE FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE- 2017 |
| | SIXTH EDITION. REFER TO REQUIRMENT 7 USUABLE KITCENS |
| | AND BATHROOMS AND PAGE 7.33 IN THE FAIR HOUSING ACT |
| | DESIGN MANUAL. |
| | |
| | BASED ON THE DRAWING IT IS NOT CLEAR IF USABLE BATHROOM |
| | SPECIFICATION TYPE A OR B WAS CHOSEN AS THE ORIGINAL |
| | DESIGN UNDER PERMIT- 020540459, HOWEVER BASED ON THE |
| | LAYOUTS SHOWN IT APPEARS BATH 1 AND 2 WERE CONSTRUCTED |
| | AS TYPE A BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE TOILET BY THE |
| | BATHTUBS WHICH PROVIDES LESSER MOBILITY AND ACCESS TO |
| | THE BATHING FIXTURES - SEE PAGE 7.53 OF THE DESIGN |
| | MANUAL. BECAUSE THE BATHTUB IS BEING CONVERTED TO A |
| | SHOWER IN BATH 2 GREATER ACCESS TO THE FIXTURES AND |
| | CONTROLS IS REQUIRED AS SHOWN ON PAGE 7.57. IN ORDER TO |
| | ACHIEVE THE COMPLIANT ACCESS AND PARALLEL 30 X 48 INCH |
| | APPROACH TO THE SHOWER, RELOCATION OF THE WATER CLOSET |
| | WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR. ALTERNATIVELY, THERE IS A MASTER |
| | BATH WHICH CONTAINS BOTH A BATHTUB AND A SHOWER. PLEASE |
| | REFER TO PAGE 7.35: IF THE MASTER BATH WAS CONSTRUCTED |
| | AS A SPECIFICATION TYPE B AND EACH FIXTURE IS USABLE |
| | AND NO CHANGES ARE BEING MADE THAT RESTRICT MOBILITY OR |
| | CLEAR FLOOR SPACE APPROACHES THEN BATH 1 AND 2 ARE |
| | EXEMPT. PLEASE ADDRESS THE REQUIRED COMPLIANCES ON THE |
| | MASTER AND BATH 2 FLOOR PLAN LAYOUTS AS SHOWN IN THE |
| | MANUAL. |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE: AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEETING THE |
| | GUIDELINES FOR THE BATH ALTERATIONS, THE OWNER AND |
| | DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT MAY PROVIDE |
| | A SIGNED AND NOTARIZED AFFIDAVIT WHICH WOULD INDICATE |
| | ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE PROPOSED DESIGN DOES NOT MEET |
| | THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY |
| | GUIDELINES, BUT WILL ALSO REQUIRE THE OWNER TO AGREE TO |
| | REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO COMPLIANCE AT TIME OF SALE IF |
| | SO REQUESTED BY THE BUYER. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, |
| | PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO [email protected] AND I WILL SEND A |
| | COPY OF THE FAIR HOUSING AFFIDAVIT. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
