1) The pool, pool deck and pool fencing are to be submitted as a separate permit. I see a separate clearance sheet C2021-006778*001 has been issued for the pool and submitted for review.
Any information in this plan set that refers to the pool, pool deck and any fencing need to be removed or identified as informational only OR Not Part of This Permit.

2) The referenced Life Safety code is incorrect. Florida uses the Florida Fire Prevention Code 7th ED. which includes the 2018 editions of NFPA 101 and NFPA 1 FL editions. FAC 69a-3.012
Update the design criteria to include the FFPC 7th Ed. and verify the plans are reviewed accordingly.

4) Emergency lighting shown is provided by wall pack type emergency lighting. With my experience, a typical wall pack emergency light usually mounted 8' above the floor covers approx. 8' either direction with a 3' wide path.
The following areas do not appear to provide adequate emergency lighting: center of the Fitness Room, Covered Gathering Areas.

5) The emergency lighting appears to be on its own circuit.
Show the emergency lighting on the same circuit as the normal lighting in the area the EL serves.
Make sure that emergency lighting systems are arranged to provide the required illumination automatically in the event of any interruption of normal lighting due to any of the following: NFPA 101 7.9.2.3
(1) Failure of a public utility or other outside electrical power supply
(2) Opening of a circuit breaker or fuse

11) The double gate shows panic on egress side and card reader. How will the gate be secured? By electric strike, mag lock, etc.?
Wednesday, December 8, 2021 DF: Response: Sheet 8.0 was replaced and no old sheet A8.0 was provided to compare. The Gate hardware shows both a 54 inch vertical pull rod and a panic par. I spoke with architect and per the architect the latches / locks will be electric strike type and the panic hardware will be free egress. Architect understands and agrees that if the panic hardware or any egress door is not free egress and/or mag-locks are involved that a revision to the approved plans will have to be submitted for the affected locking arrangements.
