RESUBMITTING: Please make necessary changes and resubmit the complete permit application package. We do not accept responses to comments/ plans/ specifications through email. Contact Building department for resubmittals.
To help speed the review process you should include a written comment response summary to clarify or illustrate corrections on plans (bubbling, highlighting or notations are best). Please use the Florida Fire Prevention Code 6th Ed for all code reference in a response to comments. The fire plans examiner does not use the Florida Building Code. You are required to remove old pages and reinsert the new pages.
The numbered items require a response or plans to be updated to complete the review.

1) Code summary does not show Florida Fire Prevention Code 6th edition. FAC 69a-3.012
|
| |
|
|
2) Code summary shows building was designed as business only. Plans show "boarding". If animals are being sheltered then this is a storage occupancy also.
1:6.1.13.1 or 101:6.1.13.1 Storage Occupancy - An occupancy used primarily for the storage or sheltering of goods, merchandise, products, vehicles, or animals.

3) Also unable to begin the review using NFPA 150. I do not see anything that illustrates the animal housing facility's class and catergory. 150:ch6
How many animals max would be stored? Also clarify if the animals are staying overnight. If so, what is the lowest staff count that would be working at anytime through the night? Where would evacuated animals be moved to? 150:A.6.3.1.1(3)
|

|
|
4) Unsure of wall rating separating this suite to is adjoining neighbor. Illustrate separation that meets 101:6.1.14.4.1 and identify occupancy class of neighboring suite.
|
| |
|
|
5) Looking at page A4.1. Door hardware for all doors read "none". Provide a list of door hardware so compliance with 101:38.2.2.2 can be checked.

Several interior places look as if they are going to need directional indicators. A direction indicator showing the direction of travel, shall be placed in every location where the direction of travel to reach the nearest exit is not apparent. Make sure they are installed at time of final. 101:7.10.2.1

6) An ENGINEERED sealed Design Criteria for a fire sprinkler system exceeding the relocation/addition 49 heads is required to be submitted with the general construction documents.
