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) This is a preliminary review. Do not resubmit until clearance sheet obtained.
NOTE: Based on fire's site review, additional comments may be provided.
|

2) Since one pair of plans submitted for 4 separate clearance sheets, this comment will be signed off once all clearance sheets have all fire plan review comments addressed.

3) Plan page LS0.1 shows this building as 22727sf. Comm20-13 site plan page 3 showed this/these buildings (kennel A, B, C, D, Staff and training) as only 16907sf. Update which ever plan is not correct.
|

4) Are these considered 1 building or 5 separate buildings according to Florida Building Code? If considered 1 building, update design to meet 150:7.2 (increase building construction type, decrease building square footage OR create more than one building).
|
| |
|
|
5) This building was design as business occupancy only. Identify occupancy of first floor (mixed or separated storage?). Update code summary to update occupancy of building.
Storage Occupancy - An occupancy used primarily for the storage or sheltering of goods, merchandise, products, vehicles, or animals. 1:6.1.13.1 or 150:A.11.1.1
|
