Plan is for renovation of 11,190 sq ft and addition of 5820 sq ft on an existing bldg. This was reviewed under 2004 Fl Fire Prevention Code as Business and Storage. These plans are rejected for comments marked ACTION.


ACTION: In bldg analysis, eliminate "Educational" as this designation only applies to grades thru 12th grade. (NFPA 101, 3.3.152.6)

 
ACTION: The sealed Design Criterion for the fire sprinkler system is incomplete for the building permit.
*The flow test data is required. The Fire Marshal's office does not have this info on file.
*Pg FP-1 states FDC pipe will go under new addition. Also, it appears on the drawing the fire main is still going under the new addition. Pipe shall not run under the bldg unless the area is trenched, access panels, etc. (NFPA 13, 8.1.1) Clarify the route of these pipes. The details can be submitted with the shop plans.
We are unable to approve the plan until this information is provided. (The Design Criteria is not a full set of shop drawing.) THIS IS WHAT IS REQUIRED BY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 61G15-32.004,(A-J) Common Requirements to All Fire Protection Engineering Documents.
 

ACTION: Door marked with exit sign in Training Early Voting must swing in means of egress if occupancy load is over 50. (NFPA 101, 7.2.1.4.2) It appears there are folding partions so this can be one big room. This door may need to be recessed. Also, the folding partions may need a swinging door unless the exceptions are met. (NFPA 101, 7.2.1.12)

 
All doors that have dead bolts shall use thumb type single cylinder. Also, locks, if provided shall not require the use of a key, tool, or special knowledge or effort for operation from the means of egress. (NFPA 101, 7.2.1.5)  
The Fire Alarm Design Criteria is OK for the building permit, Noted a separate permit will be required for the fire alarm systems. A 102 HOLD has been placed on the Building Permit and no inspection can be done past the slab until these permits are approved.  
Please provide building numbers that are a minimum of 6-inches high on the building and/or suite(s) for commercial. These must be visible and legible from the street, therefore the address number may need to be larger than the minimum 6". (NFPA 1, 10.13.1.2)
