| | CODE: FBC 7TH EDITION (2020) AND CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | PERMIT #21080079 |
| | |
| | NOTE: SEC. 702.6 FBC-EXISTING BUILDING. ALL NEW WORK |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH THE MATERIALS AND METHODS |
| | REQUIREMENTS IN THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. |
| | |
| | 1- DESIGN WIND PRESSURE CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED: |
| | BASED ON THE AERIAL VIEWS ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER |
| | WEBSITE, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OPENINGS ( WINDOW #6 AND |
| | SLIDING GLASS DOORS) ARE IN THE END ZONE NOT IN THE |
| | INTERIOR ZONE AND THE BUILDING DIMENSIONS ARE WRONG. |
| | THIS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE PRODUCT APPROVALS SUBMITTED |
| | MAY NOT MEET THE DESIGN PRESSURES. REVISE CALCULATIONS |
| | SUBMITTED SHOWING THE OPENINGS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE |
| | END ZONE OR PROVIDE SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN WIND PRESSURES |
| | SHOWING THE ACTUAL BUILDING DIMENSIONS AND WALL ZONES. |
| | SEC. 107.2.1.2 CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | REPEAT COMMENT. CALCULATIONS WERE NOT REVISED. AS |
| | MENTIONED BEFORE, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OPENINGS ( WINDOW |
| | #6 AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS) ARE IN THE END ZONE NOT IN |
| | THE INTERIOR ZONE. REVISE CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED |
| | SHOWING THE OPENINGS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE END ZONE |
| | OR PROVIDE SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN WIND PRESSURES SHOWING |
| | THE ACTUAL BUILDING DIMENSIONS AND WALL ZONES. SEC. |
| | 107.2.1.2 CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | NOTE: GIVEN THE SHAPE, HEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS OF THIS |
| | BUILDING AND BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE OPENINGS, THE |
| | CONSERVATIVE APPROACH IS TO ASSUME THAT SOME OPENINGS |
| | ARE LOCATED IN THE END ZONE AS SUGGESTED ON THE WEBSITE |
| | WHERE CONTRACTOR IS ENTERING THE DATA TO OBTAIN THE |
| | DESIGN WIND PRESSURES. OTHERWISE SITE SPECIFIC |
| | ENGINEERING WHERE THE ENGINEER TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION |
| | THE ACTUAL SHAPE AND BUILDING DIMENSIONS WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO SHOW OPENINGS ARE NOT LOCATED IN THE END |
| | ZONE. SEC. 107.2.1.2 CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | |
| | 2- PRODUCT APPROVALS SUBMITTED WILL BE REVIEWED ONCE |
| | THE DESIGN WIND PRESSURES ARE REVISED. PLEASE CHECK |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS SUBMITTED MEET THE REVISED DESIGN |
| | PRESSURES. OTHERWISE NEW PRODUCT APPROVALS ARE |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | SEC. 107.2.1 CITY AMENDMENTS. |
| | |
| | 3- WINDOW MULLIONS PRODUCT APPROVAL SUBMITTED: |
| | CLEARLY SPECIFY MULLION SIZE TO BE USED TO VERIFY |
