| | |
| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED IN A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD |
| | AREA (SFHA). THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION (BFE) IS 7' NGVD |
| | '29. THE PERMIT APPLICATION DATE IS AUGUST 29, 2017. |
| | THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH FLOOD ORDINANCE THAT WAS IN |
| | EFFECT AT THAT TIME HAS A 1 FOOT FREEBOARD THAT |
| | REQUIRES THE FINISH FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT TO BE A MINIMUM |
| | OF ONE FOOT (1') ABOVE THE BFE. THE PLANS SPECIFY A |
| | FINISH FLOOR ELEVATION OF 8' NGVD WHICH COMPLIES WITH |
| | THE FLOOD ORDINANCE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF |
| | APPLICATION. NOTE: ELEVATION CERTIFICATES WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED DURING CONSTRUCTION. |
| | |
| | 2) ON SHEET A.05 THE EAST AND WEST ELEVATIONS SHOW THE |
| | FINISH FLOOR AT - 3'-0" / NGVD 5'-0". THE FINISH FLOOR |
| | IS REQUIRED TO BE A MINIMUM OF 8'-0" NGVD. I BELIEVE |
| | THIS SHOULD BE THE FINISH GRADE RATHER THAN THE FINISH |
| | FLOOR. PLEASE REVIEW AND CORRECT. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 3) THE PLANS SPECIFY CLOSED CELL SPRAY INSULATION AND |
| | THE PRODUCT EVALUATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED ARE FOR |
| | OPEN CELL SPRAY FOAM INSULATION. NOTE: CLOSED CELL |
| | INSULATION DOES NOT ALLOW WATER VAPOR TO PASS THROUGH |
| | IT. IT IS TYPICALLY NOT USED FOR UN-VENTED ATTIC |
| | INSULATION IN FLORIDA. IF THERE IS A ROOF LEAK THE |
| | WATER IS TRAPPED BETWEEN THE FOAM AND THE ROOFING |
| | MATERIAL. PLEASE CLARIFY. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 4) THE FOOT PRINT OF THE STRUCTURE ON THE SURVEY THAT |
| | WAS SUBMITTED DOES NOT MATCH THE SITE PLAN ON SHEET |
| | A.02. PLEASE CLARIFY. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 5) THE SOIL REPORT FROM GFA RECOMMENDS CLOSED END PIN |
| | PILES OR HELICAL PIERS DUE TO THE LOOSE SOILS AT THE |
| | SITE. SUBMIT SIGNED AND SEALED PILE PLACEMENT PLANS |
| | WITH BEARING CALCULATIONS FROM A FLORIDA LICENSED P.E. |
| | FBC R401.2 |
| | |
| | 6) WALL SECTIONS B AND C ON SHEET A.07 AND WALL |
| | SECTIONS A AND B ON A.08 DO NOT MATCH THE STRUCTURAL |
| | PLANS FOR THE LOGGIA COLUMNS AND BEAMS. THE |
| | ARCHITECTURAL PLANS SHOW WOOD WRAPPED METAL COLUMNS AND |
| | PSL WOOD BEAMS. THE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS HAVE REINFORCED |
| | MASONRY COLUMNS AND CONCRETE BEAMS. PLEASE COORDINATE |
| | THE DRAWINGS. FBC107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 7) ON SHEET S.04 SPECIFY THE ANCHORS THAT WILL BE USED |
| | ON EACH END OF THE GIRDER AT THE LOGGIA NEAR THE FRONT |
| | DOOR. FBC- R301.1 |
| | |
| | 8) FBC 107.3.4 - PROVIDE TWO SETS OF PRODUCT APPROVALS |
| | FOR THOSE PRODUCTS WHICH ARE REGULATED BY FAC |
| | 61G20-3.001 PER FLORIDA STATUTE 553.842 (5) THAT HAVE |
| | BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE DESIGNER |
| | OF RECORD. PROVIDE TWO COMPLETE PRODUCT APPROVALS WITH |
| | FL OR NOA NUMBERS INCLUDING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| | AND MAXIMUM DESIGN PRESSURES FOR EACH OF THE DIFFERENT |
| | ROOFING MATERIALS, WINDOW/GLASS TYPES, STRUCTURAL |
| | MULLIONS AND EXTERIOR DOOR TYPES. |
| | |
| | 9) BOTH OF THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR PRODUCT APPROVALS |
| | (NOA NO.12-0516.04, NOA NO. 15-0903.09) EXPIRED ON |
| | 8/2/2017, PRIOR TO THE DATE OF PERMIT APPLICATION. |
| | SUBMIT TWO SETS OF CURRENT PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR THE |
| | SLIDING GLASS DOORS. FAC 61G20-3 |
| | |
| | 10) THE MODIFIED BITUMEN ROOF SYSTEM THAT WAS SUBMITTED |
| | (FL5680-R15) HAS A MAXIMUM DESIGN PRESSURE OF -60 PSF. |
| | THIS IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE PERIMETER AND CORNER AREAS |
| | OF THIS STRUCTURE. THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED IN |
| | EXPOSURE "D" WITH A 170 MPH VULT WINDSPEED, HAS A 5/12 |
| | ROOF SLOPE AND HAS A MEAN ROOF HEIGHT OF 26'-9". SUBMIT |
| | TWO SETS OF SIGNED AND SEALED ENHANCED FASTENING |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR THE BASE SHEET. FBC-R 301.2.1 |
| | |
| | 11) ITEM #5 ON THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY FORM R405-2014 |
| | INDICATES THAT THE CALCULATIONS ARE FOR WORST CASE. THE |
| | 2014 FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION SECTION R405.4.2 ALLOWS |
| | WORST CASE TO BE USED WHEN THE SAME MODEL OF A BUILDING |
| | IS BEING BUILT ON MULTIPLE LOTS WITH DIFFERENT |
| | ORIENTATIONS. SINCE THIS IS NOT A MODEL HOME, THE FORM |
| | HAS TO USE THE ORIENTATION THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THIS |
| | HOUSE. |
| | |
| | 12) IN ORDER TO REDUCE PLAN REVIEW TIME, PLEASE SUBMIT |
| | A RESPONSE LETTER INDICATING HOW EACH OF THE REVIEW |
| | COMMENTS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. |
